Hello,

Thanks a lot for your answers !

Yes, it is that one.

This command is probably the right one, but I realized that my  
programmer was not supported by uisp, so I must buy another one. I have  
a "SI-prog" which works with ponyprog. But it seems that it's not  
possible to install ponyprog on mac os x, and I can't get it work under  
Virtual PC with my adapter.

I tried to do that, but it doesn't work with ponyprog...

Do you think I should change my programmer? Do you know which one I  
have to buy to be sure that it works with atmega8535?

Thanks a lot!
