Hi,

I am an AVR beginner with ATmega16 as the Device. How can an ATmega16 be configured to run with an external crystal oscillator of frequency 7.3728 MHz. Which are the Special Function Registers for this purpose and how they have to be configured? What is the default settings? I am using CodeVisionAVR(2k evaluation) and also IAR Embedded Workbech Kickstart. Kindly help me with example C codes.

 

The clock source is selected by setting the appropriate built-in fuse. There is no c-language statements that provide access to these fuses. They are set using the downloading tool.

What hardware tool do you use for downloading the compiled code into the ATMEGA16?

Hai,

I am using PonyProg2000 and the burning HW got from http://www.olimex.com/dev which uses PC serial port and a few descrete components.

If you happen to have the ponyprog software then you should have access to a control panel that you can use to set the fuses so that the external crystal can be used.

Link to short article on fuse setting using the PonyProg programmer and associated pony programming software.
