Hello,
I wanted to burn a hex file to an Atmega8 using Atmel Studio. Unfortunately, under device rpogramming, I am unable to find any option other than simulator. When i searched the web, I came to understand that usually a list of programmers will be displayed. But there is none in mine. Any ideas to get a fix on this solution??
Thanks
Probably the one you don't seem to use... much...

I get the same, but I currently have no Arduino or programmer plugged in, do you have any hardware connected?

I googled this issue a bit and checked avr freaks before posting it here....
There is a restricted set of tools that studio will work with / recognise. I use an AVR dragon and occasionally an old STK500. The dragon is usb and is recognised fine (but uses special jungo USb drivers which wont work with avrdude/libusb drivers) The STK, being serial (even through serial->usb converter) has to be added manually.
I guess the idea is to make you buy the expensive tools e.g. AVRISPMK2, AVR ONE, JTAG/ICE STK600 etc...haven't heard of anyone using UNO as ISP or cheap eaby usbasp etc. I'd be interesdted to know if anyone has and how etc
below is link to V6 docs which has a table showing all supportedx programmers and MCUs:
So far I've only done direct downloads to an Arduino and that's worked fine, but I just plugged in my Pololu USB programmer (AVRISP clone I think) and that was not recognised (no AVR chip connected but that shouldn't matter). I do have a JTAGICE 2, I'll try that later.
