This is the fast ISP programmer for AVR MCUs based on cheap stm32f103c8t6 aka blue-pill board with usb-to-serial support.
This blue pill board has wrong pullup resistor at usb D+ line. You might need to fix it before using blue pill as an AVR programmer. Refer to this guide: http://amitesh-singh.github.io/stm32/2017/10/09/correcting-usbpullup-resistor.html
Download the binaries from https://github.com/amitesh-singh/FASTUSBasp/releases/tag/v1.0.0
If you have fixed the pullup at D+ line, use fastusbasp.bin
The pre-compiled binary is at fastusbasp.bin.
$ st-flash write fastusbasp.bin 0x08000000In case, you did not fix the wrong pullup at D+ line, use
fastusbasp-wrongpullup.bin binary instead
$ st-flash write fastusbasp-wrongpullup.bin 0x08000000It uses SPI2 to communicate to AVR.
| Blue pill | AVR |
|---|---|
| PB15 | MOSI |
| PB14 | MISO |
| PB13 | SCK |
| PA8 | RST |
| 5v or 3.3v | 5v |
| GND | GND |
Serial ports are PA10(RX) and PA9 (TX).
This can be used to debug AVR Microcontrollers.
| Blue pill | AVR |
|---|---|
| PA10 | TX |
| PA9 | RX |
All pins SPI2(PB15, PB14, PB13), Serial(PA10, PA9) and RST(PA8) used are 5V tolerant.
Refer to udev/README.md

- Download Zadig (https://zadig.akeo.ie/)
- Insert device to USB. Wait until windows can't install it.
- Launch Zadig
- Select in Zadig our device from ComboBox
- Select driver Type libusbK
- Press Install Driver
- Wait until Zadig is done with installing driver and that results into Windows to detect the device.

FASTUSBasp starts out with a fast ISP clock frequency (default: 3 MHz),
so the -B bitclock option might be required to achieve stable communication
in case target MCU F_CPU is bit low < 12MHz
- default (without -B): 3 MHz
- 1.5 MHz
- 750 KHz
- 375 KHz
- 187.5 KHz
To build fastusbasp firmware from source code, follow below guidelines.
Refer my post on how to setup stm32 devlopment environment on Arch linux. http://amitesh-singh.github.io/stm32/2017/04/09/setting-stm32-dev-environment-arch-linux.html
Make sure you have compiled libopencm3 library.
$ git clone https://github.com/amitesh-singh/FASTUSBasp
$ vi config.cmake # set the libopencm3 path here
$ cmake .
$ makeconnect st-link programmer to blue-pill and upload the firmware
$ make fastusbasp-upload
Install stm32flash utility on linux.
To program stm32f103 via USART, you need to set BOOT0 as 1
and leave BOOT1 as 0.
Connect any usb to uart converter device and connect PA9 to RXD and PA10 to TXD and connect GND.
$ make fastusbasp-serialupload
