title: how to make Mac detect AVR board using USBasp and burn program to it?
body: <p>I am new to Embedded, starting with <strong>AVR programming using C</strong>. I am working on <strong>Mac OS 10.9.4</strong>, so far I am using <strong>avrdude</strong> and <strong>xCode</strong> as IDE. It works very well, for now I am testing my code using <strong>Proteus</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>But now I want to burn my <strong>.hex</strong> to <strong>AVR ATMega16</strong> board. I have <strong>USBasp</strong>, which I am able to connect and it lights up the board. Now after searching on the internet, I think Mac is not detecting my board. I have checked <strong>/dev</strong> directory, but no usb device found. </p>
  
  <p>So I am not sure what to next, how to make Mac detect my board and burn my .hex on it. I've found this: <a href="http://www.fischl.de/usbasp/" rel="nofollow">http://www.fischl.de/usbasp/</a> but no idea how to use this or its required or not.</p>
  
  <p>So question stand is: <strong>how to make Mac detect AVR board using USBasp and burn program to it?</strong></p>
  
  <p>FYI: I've installed <strong>CrossPack</strong> on Mac. </p>
