USB debugging with ATMega32/8

USB to TTL level convertors cost around Rs 400 .

A good overview of all serial comm methods http://www.societyofrobots.com/microcontroller_uart.shtml

some basic details of how it is implemented and about the USB protocol http://www.atmel.com/Images/doc2556.pdf

Using firmware only ,there seems to be a couple of solutions.
1) V-Usb  . Seems it needs a minimum of 12Mhz clock.
         ATMega 32 can get a max of 16 Mhz with crystal. But 12 =MHz can be achieved using RC oscilator configuration
2) interface by Igor Cesko.
   Has code for ATmega8 already.

Am going to try out V-USb since it seems more mature and has more support.
