Much more common is to use one of the USB to serial/JTAG chips on the same board with the MCU and allow a common interface to programming it. Check out the many low cost eval MCU boards. Some are under $10. You can use one MCU to control the front panel which would then talk to the other chip. It will require the equivalent of a boot loader on the MCU being programmed though unless you want to use a USB master port on the front panel MCU... much easier to just use a PC with the various software provided. -- Rick C

This way you get the programmer and maybe even the compiler and a way of debugging it and some I/O to connect LEDs and switches to. Makes it more of a breeeeze to work with. boB K7IQ
