Bricked ATTINY SMD

2012-11-20 by Dave McLaughlin

Hi all,

 

I have inadvertently bricked an ATTINY13 after trying to set the fuses.

 

I was trying to set the 4MHz speed with 64ms start up and also enabling the
Debug Wire interface.

 

Now I can't talk to the device at all.

 

I have searched around and found some stuff on the high voltage programming
but all the ideas seem to be to work with the DIP package and I have the SMD
package on my board.

 

Does anyone know how to get this to work with SMD or a suitable device I can
purchase that might plug over the top of the IC and allow it to be
programmed? I can isolate all the IO pins to do this. Unsoldering it is not
an option unless I am stuck with replacing it.

 

Cheers

Dave.

 

PS.. Can I actually programme the fuses on this device to get debug-wire to
work?
