ATB is a boot loader for ATTiny chips, see ATB - a bootloader for AVR Tiny microcontrollers.
This note provides information on using ATB with the Simple Morse beacon keyer.
The fuse options give below set the BOD level to 4.3V. It is advisable when using a bootloader to have BOD enabled to minimise the risk of corruption of flash. If used with Vcc less than 5V, change the fuses for an appropriate threshold.
ATB consumes about 600 bytes of flash memory, so it is advisable to use a 4K ATTiny or larger, eg ATTiny45.

Above is a batch file of the commands to generate the bootloader firmware, program the bootloader, and set the fuses. The fuses set the BOD level to 4.3V.

Above is a batch file to load the application firmware and EEPROM using ATB.
The configuration above uses ATB in single wire mode on pin B0 of the ATTinyx5, pin 5 on the DIP package. A 10k pull-up resistor should be connected from B0 to Vcc.
Note that the selection switch ??speed[0] must be open during ATB operations.
ATB consumes about 600 bytes of flash memory, so it is advisable to use a 4K ATTiny or larger, eg ATTiny45 (though current ATTinyx5 fits on an ATTiny25 along with ATB).

Above is a batch file to load the application firmware and EEPROM using ATB.
The configuration above uses ATB in single wire mode on pin B1 of the ATTiny4x, pin 6 on the DIP package. A 10k pull-up resistor should be connected from B1 to Vcc.
Note that the selection switch speed[0] must be open during ATB operations.
ATB consumes about 600 bytes of flash memory, so it is advisable to use a 4K ATTiny or larger, eg ATTiny44.

Above is a batch file to load the application firmware and EEPROM using ATB.
The configuration above uses ATB in single wire mode on pin A0 of the ATTinyx4, pin 13 on the DIP package. A 10k pull-up resistor should be connected from A0 to Vcc.
Note that the selection switch speed[0] must be open during ATB operations.
