Support Forum » AVRISP MKII Not working with AVR Dude?
January 30, 2015 by JimFrederickson |
Well my little AVRISP MKII that I have had for years seems to have some sort I have been using my little guy for years without any issues. About 8 months ago I got rid of Atmel Studio 6.0, I think that was the Since the ONLY THING I was using it for was to Program my AVR's VIA the All has been worry-free for months. Yesterday it didn't seem to communicate properly. I reseated the connections and all seemed to be good. I just figured something didn't make contact. TODAY! It just doesn't seem to communicate properly. My AVR is running code. (It has a serial interface I use for debugging Any troubleshooting ideas? Are there some things that can be done from AVRDude to try to verify if it I am not too Familiar with the AVRDude workings, and like most Linux/Unix For me I am currently downloading Atmel Studio v6.2. To see if I can figure I'm not going to shed any tears if the AVRISP is dying/dead. It has managed And to make matters worse, I am traveling, no Laptop AC Adapter, no spare Maybe the ONE AND ONLY AVR Chip I have with me has reached the I just thought I would ask. Here is what I get...
Batch files are the same, AVRDude is the same, mice/serial converters work P.S. I will post an update tonight, as well as check responses, after I get and |

Avrdude has a -v option to enable verbose output. More -v options increase verbosity level. edit your makefile command and add a half dozen -v -v -v -v -v -v to get more info on the problem. With that said, it looks like a communication problem between the programmer and chip which means the programmer might be broken assuming you know the serial ports on the chip are good. If the chip was worn out, avrdude wouldn't know while writing but would get a ton of verification errors. Let's see what you get with the -v's. |

Really Noter? "Extra -v's" will get "more verbosity"? :) That is quite interesting in itself. Well I "cut short my trip"... I decided that I couldn't go out and about limping along when that was a planned I went back home where I have a "plentifull supply of extra parts of all types"... From what I could figure out, the test board I have been using is one I travel around It seems that, maybe, some traces or solder pads got broke became weak. Maybe a solder I don't know for sure... What I do know... Atmel Studio v6.2 takes nearly 5GB!
(I am sure I had a previous version an not an earlier version of 6 before like I had Turns out: The AVRISP MKII programs chips in other boards I have without issue So I resoldered the ISP Connector... The ONLY good part, was that the night before everything worked properly. I am going to play around with those "-v" settings, for future hardships... Thanks again... |
