Greetings! There is a ReadMe file located in my
"C:\Program Files\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\firmwares\arduinoISP"
directory which states
"You can download the ArduinoISP firmware source files from: https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoISP"
Yet that page is not to be found. Is there an updated page or location? Many thanks!
Josh
The only reference I could find to the firmware is "based on David Mellis' project FabISP (http://fab.cba.mit.edu/content/projects/fabisp/).
The firmware for that project is:
http://fab.cba.mit.edu/content/projects/fabisp/firmware.zip
Yes I saw that page (after I noticed written on the board very faintly "FabISP Rev3") - not exactly the same - but since the original is in the wind I went for it. Worked no better as a FabISP than it did as an ArduinoISP! I ended up using an old bus_pirate I had laying around to remove the bootloader from my micro.
Apparently the files are there now. Go figure...
