How to access the USB port? Is there a special bootloader for Atmega8 to access the USB port?

I tried to make a pcb board like that using the same ic and the same circuit, only the usb port cannot be used like that board.

after I searched, it turned out that it requires using a special bootloader. can anyone help me what bootloaders I should prepare, and what tools I should use

thank you

It doesn't LOOK like an ATmega8...

To have an ATmega8 talk directly to USB, you need a software bit-banged implementation of low-speed USB, like VUSB, which isn't really a "bootloader."

Note that this (almost) implements USB 1.1, and has been found not to properly interoperate with some newer PC-side USB controllers.

Please do not modify a post after you got a reply to it. It might make the person who replies look like an idiot.
Never do that again.

There are many variations of this board, going back over the years. Some use a PIC controller. Some have a CH340, others FTDI device. I haven't found a schematic for any of them. Some are using HID, I guess the CH340 ones are using USB serial.

But without a spec for the specific board in question, we can only speculate.
