I believe the user software downloads a set of programming parameters
and the file to be programmed rather than driving the programmer
directly or otherwise do low level hardware stuff. I am going to ask
Xeltek if they will give a refund if I can't get the unit working in
a reasonable time. If it doesn't work I would otherwise be out of
$1500. I will not use Windows.
There's a downloadable version of the software on the site. If that
works acceptably, the final hurdle would be whether it can communicate
with the programmer by USB. The site says it's USB 2.0 and installs
drivers on Windows, which doesn't bode well for the Wine/FreeBSD
setup. It may work, although you have to expect that any support call
will blame problems on the non-standard setup.
It might be easier to start with open software and choose a programmer
that is supported by it. For instance, devel/avrdude supports some
faster programmers. Depends on what you need.

I downloaded the programmer software and wine installed it without any
problems (350 MB!). The software seems to run ok so far under wine. So
the remaining issue is the USB connection. I found the USB port in /dev
but to make the link I also need to know what Windows calls the USB port
so the programmer software can find it. If one plugs a non-storage USB
device into Windows without installing any specific driver, what does
Windows call the USB port?
Best regards,
Fred
