AVR-Chat

Thanks for everyone's advice on xmega programming, particularly alerting me
to the bugs.  I checked them out and they either don't apply in my case or I
can easily work around them.  This is a new project so migration is not an
issue.   Also thanks for the leads on programmers.   Steve

As far as I know any AVRISP MK2 (the USB version) will do PDI if loaded with
the correct firmware.
The latest version of AVR-Studio - download from Atmel - will do this
automatically when it detects an old version of software in the AVRISP.

Xmega is a very capable device with some nice features, but it has virtually
nothing in common with the ordinary megas (apart from the assembler
instruction set). All the hardware is entirely different- you can't
"migrate" to it from ordinary megas, a complete rewrite would be needed.
