[avrdude-dev] avrispmkii (usb) and terminal mode when can't access chip..

[Neil Davey]

Hi All,
I use the current avrispmkii that has the usb connection with avrdude.
There have been a few times lately where I've moved from one project to 
another which have very different cpu clock speeds. (eg a tiny13 @128kHz 
to a mega128 @ 16Mhz)
As a result, I've had to change my isp clock so that on the mega128 it 
doesn't take a month to program.

The issue I have is that I have to go back into avrstudio to change the 
isp clock, as I can't access terminal mode with avrdude unless I can 
establish a chip connection.
Am I missing something simple? Is there a way of getting to terminal 
mode without a proper connection to a chip?

Regards
