[avrdude-dev] firmware update for stk500

[Klaus Rudolph]

Hi all,

after a long period I restart developing with avr. I found latest 
avrdude version wich works well in isp programming
on my stk500 boards. avrdude tells me that I have a firmware 1.x. And 
the info tells me that parallel hv programming is
only supported with firmware 2.x, right?

OK,
is there a way to get and update the firmware for stk500 boards from 
linux? I am actually have no windows :-)
Or have I install a avr studio on a windows pc and update the firmware? 
If so, I will ask a friend, not a big problem,
but it would be nice if you could give me a hint!

Thanks
Klaus
