Benito
The Benito board is a general purpose board for Atmel's at90usb162. Combined with open source code it can be used to easily create usb solutions. With relatively large components (tqfp, 806) the board is an excellent place to learn surface mount soldering as well as an inexpensive introduction to Atmel's 90usb family of micro controllers.

UDEV RULE for Bootloader Mode
As root (or sudo):
create file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-atmel.rules
with this as the contents:
--
SUBSYSTEM!="usb_device", ACTION!="add", GOTO="atmel_rules_end"
#AT90USB162 DFU
SYSFS{idVendor}=="03eb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2ffa", GROUP="dialout", MODE="0660"
LABEL="atmel_rules_end"
--
run:
udevcontrol reload_rules
feel free to change the group to something that makes sense to you.
Can this then be used to call programs?
Just curious. It would be nice if the dfu announced itself to a programmer.
Benito broken?
I was programming fine yesterday and then moved the Notebook unplugging the Benito programmer and plugged it back in - Both LEDs came on and Windows didn't recognize the device anymore. Haven't been able to do anything with it. Seems there is no way to re-install the drivers. Any suggestions for a fix?
Check in Device Manager for
Check in Device Manager for the usb/serial device (I do not have a Benito so not sure where it is installed) it is probably be under ports (COM and LPT) or Human Interface devices.
If it is there and has a warning sign on it look for the reason in the device status section and post the reason.
