Anyone using avrdude with the avr butterfly's bootloader? It works with avrprog in Studio (4.09), but no luck yet with avrdude. I've tried setting avrdude for: butterfly, stk500, and avr910 but none of these seem to work. I do have a modified version of the gcc port of the original Atmel butterfly code loaded, but as far as I know, the bootloader hasn't been changed. Thanks, Mike

Hi Brian,
This is what it reports:
avrdude: Version 4.4.0
Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Brian Dean, bsd@bsdhome.com
It was installed with the latest WinAVR package.
I've tried holding the joystick button in while running it,
but it doesn't seem to help. Eventually it times out and
says it might be an AVR910 instead.
Thanks,

What version of AVRDUDE are you using? -Brian -- Brian Dean http://www.bdmicro.com/

Try adding '-v -v -v -v' to the AVRDUDE command line to enable lots of extra verbose output. This should set the verbosity up to the level where AVRDUDE reports each byte of the conversation with the programmer. With that, we should be able to see what is being sent and received and perhaps diagnose where the communciations is breaking down. -Brian -- Brian Dean http://www.bdmicro.com/

I'm going to try JTAG mode as soon as I get some headers
to fit the board. From what I've been able to find out,
I need to add this section for my Xilinx cable to the
config file:
programmer
id = "xilinx";
desc = "Xilinx Parallel JTAG Cable";
type = par;
sck = 3;
mosi = 2;
miso = 13;
reset = 4;
;

Maybe it isn't > a butterfly but a AVR910 device? This is very strange. Normally, if the programmer is not responding at all, you'll see the error message: avrdude: serial_recv(): programmer is not responding This happens if a timeout occurs while waiting for a response from the programmer (butterfly in this case). However, if results are received, each "avrdude: Recv:" line above would display each byte that was received. But there are none. And I don't see a code-path such that it would not print out the received bytes, nor display an error message. Whoa - wait a minute. A different serial port module is used on the Windows platform and uses the native Windows calls, there there might be something funny going on. I was looking at the Mac/Unix posix serial port code when I made my statement above. Looking at the Windows-specific code, it appears that a call to the native Windows routine to read the data from the COM port is returning without producing an error message, but not returning the data either. I'm not at all familiar with native Windows APIs so I'm going to have to defer you to the AVRDUDE mailing list on this one (avrdude-dev@nongnu.org). Several of the AVRDUDE contributers support the Windows version and they should be able to help figure this out. If you have a Unix box (MacOS X, FreeBSD, or Linux) that you can try it out on, that would be most useful, as that would narrow the problem down to either Window's-only, or something that affects all our platforms. If you have a FreeBSD box, you should be able to build the port easily (cd /usr/ports/devel/avrdude && make install). Building on Linux is not quite as easy, but just download the tar file from the project area on Savannah, extract it, type 'configure && make install'. If you have a MacOS X box, it builds similar to that on Linux, but if you need a MacOS X binary, I can send you one pre-built if that helps (I use a MacOS X). -Brian -- Brian Dean http://www.bdmicro.com/

I don't have FreeBSD at the moment, I gave up that partition to backup my iTunes (15GB) library while I was switching to the PowerBook. I do have Linux on the same computer as Windows is loaded and of course, Mac OS X on the PowerBook, so I can give that a try. Mac OS X satisfies most of my FreeBSD needs (except for a single uniform ports system) these days. Thanks, Mike

While I loved my FreeBSD system, the Mac is nothing short of superb. All the great features of Unix and the great GUI from Apple. You should be able to pretty easily build GCC for the avr target there. Just grab the latest GCC (3.4.1?) and binutils. Build binutils first specifying the AVR target and install. Then build GCC specifying the same target. Then grab a copy of avr-libc and build that and install and you should be set. It's been a while since I did it but I seem to recall the process was painless and straightforward. Just make sure you install the developer tools package that comes on one of the CDs for your Powerbook. That will install a version of GCC for making native Mac binaries and all the usual header files. You might want to first install a teTeX distribution so that you can build all the documentation as well. I used DarwinPorts for that (http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/). Note quite as nice as the FreeBSD ports system but it provides a similar functionality and has worked well for the software that I have installed. Due to no serial ports on my G5, I am using a Keyspan USA-19HS USB <-> RS232 converter that works great. When you plug it in, it generates a device entry like /dev/cu.USA19H2b22P1.1 and that's the name you pass to AVRDUDE to use as the com port. -Brian -- Brian Dean http://www.bdmicro.com/

Folks, I'm just getting started with AVRs and have a couple of prototype boards and ICSP programmer dongles from Olimex. The software is Mandrake Linux and PonyProg. I've tried both the serial and parallel dongles and can't seem to get them to communicate with the prototyping board. Any pointers?

You could try the AvrDude programming software. I think it compiles under Linux. http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/avrdude/ Alex

Alex, Thanks, but my Linux installation is missing 'texi2html' and the make errors out. It seemed too involved for the time being. I think I'll head on down to work and see what I can do with XP.

Alex, Many thanks for your help. I did download AVRdude - the Win32 version comes as a binary, so I didn't have to concern myself with compiling it. I found that my failures came from several bad components, including a possible bad 2343. Look forward to more Newby questions in the near future! <scowl> Jeff Engel Arlington, TX --- Alex Shepherd <maillists@ajsystems.co.nz> wrote: > > > I think I'll head on down to work and see what I > can > > do with XP. > > Then maybe install the WinAVR package. > > http://winavr.sourceforge.net/ > > It comes with the AvrDude programmer and should > install cleanly. > > Alex ===== Happiness is - positive intake manifold pressure. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
