How to make a frequency sweeper?

Hi!
I need some help to do this project:
I need to make a frequency sweeper with 5V square wave output duty cycle 50%,
effective frequency range from 50kHz to 50Hz .

Can I do this with the tone function or should I use a timer or what would be the best solution?
I would use some Attiny2313 or 85 maybe I think I have on stock.

Some example code would be great for start.

Thanks in advice.
My best regards.

(BASCOM-AVR version : 2.0.7.5 , Latest : 2.0.7.8 )

Hello,

Are you trying to develop a TMS 374 based ECU unlocker?

Hi Thomas!
Yes, but I will integrate some other function too to that tool and the major problem is
this sweeping stuff.

Thanks for any advice.

No where near enough information.

How fast does the sweep take?
1 Sec, 10 Sec, 0.1 Sec?

Does it sweep once, or repeat?
Does it wrap around, or sweep up, then down, then up...?

How precise must the 50% duty cycle be?
+/- 1%, +/- 1 uSec, etc?

How large an the frequency steps be?
1 Hz? 10 Hz, 10% of current frequency?

Can there be discontinuities in the signal when the frequency changes?

Lots of questions!
Clearly more info is needed.
