but has it actually gotten the OK from the dev team?

It seems like it’s as OK as it’s going to get. The only parts to change are things Sofirn already vetoed, like a different clip design. So yeah, it has been ready for a few months.

The top post can’t be updated to reflect this though, because Lux-Perpetua hasn’t been around. I think he has been too busy with Real Life ™, which is totally understandable for volunteer projects like this.

Otherwise, aside from getting the light actually produced and sold, the only other task remaining on this project is for Sofirn to put together an attiny1616 flashing kit.

Here’s the flashing kit gchart sent me. It works, after giving avrdude a new config file, but it’s definitely not the only compatible adapter. It uses the “jtag2updi” profile in avrdude, which isn’t in the default config. Anyone know of a compatible adapter which is supported by default, that Sofirn could obtain for a good price in bulk?

That AVR JTAG ICE adapter works pretty well, but it’s annoying to having to flash new firmware to the programmer and then needing to customize avrdude in order to use it.

For the past 8 months or so I’ve been using a different flashing tool, basically just a USB to Serial TTL adapter paired with pymcuprog (instead of avrdude). It works very well and those USB to Serial adapters are dirt cheap and everywhere. See here and here for a few more details. I had been talking with Sofirn about putting together a flashing kit with this, but that conversation seems to have gone quiet, as I think it was going through Lux-Perpetua.
