Add support to program ATtiny13a #9

Closed aaronaverill closed 5 years ago

aaronaverill commented 5 years ago

I love this piece of code to program my attiny85 and atmega328 with my feather. On a lark I got some attiny13a from the maker space in a DIP-8 - same pinout as tiny85, plugged it into a breadboard to see what it could do. Found the page size, flash size, signature ect, no problem.

I was able to read the signature and set fuses but not program the chip. I traced it to program_file() calling begin() with the default cock=FAST_CLOCK. When I tweaked this to use the SLOW_CLOCK value everything works great.

Suggestion: Add a parameter to the chip array that allows the caller to set the clock to fast or slow for programming. Check the chip['clock_speed'] option, if it's not empty, use that for programming the chip thru SPI.

Voila, now you will support ATtiny13a
