Prime8 Production Programmer
The Prime8 production programmer has eight high-speed ICSP™ jacks for high volume programming. Ideal for production environments, it can operate as a stand-alone production programmer with its USB Flash card reader, or with CCS software on the PC. Program up to 8 devices individually or concurrently.
New Revision Updates:
- 4.3" Touchscreen LCD user interface to menus and actions when using in standalone mode. Menu in a graphical display for easy icons to read any touch to activate.
- Aluminum enclosure is a smaller, sleek design and more durable for industrial use.
- Flash drive readability and faster programming speed.

Computer Requirements: CCS device programmers only work with 32 or 64-bit Windows on Intel®, AMD or Arm® processors, or with Linux on Intel® or AMD processors.
CCSLOAD FREE programmer control software supports the Prime8 and offers many new key features including; powerful command line options in Windows/Linux, extensive diagnostics, easy to use production interface, and enhanced security options.
Prime8 can be paired with Tag-Connect, a cost saving production ICSP™ Programming cable that eliminates the need for a ICSP™ connector on your product. Tag Connect provides a direct pin-to-circuit connection, saving space on your PCB. The modular end works with existing ICD programmers as well as the Prime8.
The 8-bit AVR® Programming Adapter can be used to connect the AVR® board to the CCS programmer if the board has the standard 2x3 or 2x5 AVR® programming connectors on it. See Connecting to Atmel Hardware if the AVR® board has a different connector.
