If you happen to have a Linux system with at least 4 hardware GPIOs
available (like almost all embedded Linux boards) you can do without
any additional hardware - just connect them to the SDO, SDI, RESET
and SCK pins on the AVR and use the linuxgpio programmer type. It bitbangs
the lines using the Linux sysfs GPIO interface. Of course, care should
be taken about voltage level compatibility. Also, although not strictly
required, it is strongly advisable to protect the GPIO pins from
required, it is strongly advisable to protect the GPIO pins from
overcurrent situations in some way. The simplest would be to just put
some resistors in series or better yet use a 3-state buffer driver like
the 74HC244. Have a look at https://kolev.info/blog/2013/01/06/avrdude-linuxgpio/ for a more
