How to program through a FTDI programmer

Here is a simple guide for Arduino programming using a FTDI programmer. And I used an Romeo for Intel Edison for example, which IC is ATmega8.

NOTE: I didn't find my pc need to install driver for the FTDI programmer, so I just skipped that.


Steps:

1). Hardware we need
 

Mini USB cable x1Romeo for Intel® Edison Controller (With Intel® Edison) x1USB Serial Light Adapter - Atmega8U2 (Arduino Compatible) x1

2) Choose suitable voltage by setting the jumper cap, here it is 3.3V, 5V is not for this board.


3) Connect with the target board interface, you can see the board PWR LED is on.


4) Open the Arduino IDE and write your code, after that, please choose target board and com port, here I copied the code "NG.ino" into arduino for ATmega8 chip....


5) Click Upload and wait a moment it will finish.


So, that's it. Feel help a little, vote it for me, thx!
