USBASP

Hello everyone! I am looking for the different software for windows 10 64 bits to use an Arduino programmer that I hope to receive soon.... Could someone help me?? (see picture) Thank you very much

Wow, people are still using USBASP, nice! I myself occasionally use a USBASP clone that I hand-built more some 15 years ago and programmed with a PC parallel port

Can't say anything about the Arduino IDE, if that's what you're talking about, that is usually used with boards that include some built-in programmer or bootloader.

For just programming AVR microcontrollers with prebuilt hex files, avrdude works perfectly on Win10 64bit.
One simple way to get it is to use the Chocolatey package manager. Just install Chocolatey and then run choco install avrdude in a console.

For AVR development with C and Makefiles on Win10 I use the Microchip AVR toolchain, which is gcc-based

and MSYS2

Edit: To use the USBASP on Windows it also needs a driver which is based on libusb; here I don't quite remember the details but I think I used zadig to install the libusb-win32 driver:

Hello; ok, thank you for this information which already helped me a lot this morning....... In reality, it's to reprogram a Chinese tester MK-328 (display in blue); and I am looking for the 2 original files (hex+eeprom) to fix it.... If someone can help me find them... Cdt

Hi lionelkjh!

Here is a dedicated topic:  https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/$20-lcr-esr-transistor-checker-project/
No need to read all over 290 pages (although it would be useful), the last 15-20 pages are uplifting.

And here is the software & other info:  https://github.com/madires/Transistortester-Warehouse.

For programming the ATmega 328 MCU I use a USBAVR and an Arduino AVR ISP shield, only for the ZIF socket.

On the software tools side I use WinAVR (Programmer's Notepad), AVR tools chain and AVRDUDESS.
