USAGE NOTES:
Usage of usb connection is recommended.
On some programmers you will need an external power supply. On others
programming over power supply won't work.

Over serial connection verify is disabled because of problems with
the serial uart buffer.
To tune writing over serial port there is the parameter '--blocksize'.
It allows you to set the amount of bytes to be written on the serial port.
If you get write errors, try a value of 1 or 2. This makes writing slow
but working.
