[bug #8264] flash procedure fail

[avrs-admin]

Tue 23 Mar 2004 02:25:16 PM UTC

Configuration: WinAVR-20030913-bin-install
mfile.tcl
STK500 / AVRStudio 4.08
Win98se

Description:
When running the flash procedure using <make %d program>, AVRDUDE tries in vain to establish communication with the STK500. AVRDUDE apparently does not detect the error and remains as task in the system. This program can then only be interrupted by using "End Task." This means flashing is not possible with the STK500.

This issue was migrated from https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?8264

Using your "<make %d program>" sounds like you are using avrdude in conjunction with the WinAVR sample makefile and Programmers Notepad. I suspect that the problem lies with either one of those. Please verify by calling avrdude manually on a command line prompt and see if it still hangs.

Note that avrdude is known to work with the stk500 on windows 2000.

Yes I'am using pn2 and VSE.
I tried "avrdude -p ATMEGA -P com1  -e -c stk500    -U flash:w:test.hex" manually on command line

Result: same as before but avrdude can be canceled by closing window

The version avrdudew32 Version 0.1 for MS VISUAL C++ 6.0
( http://www.siwawi.arubi.uni-kl.de/avr_projects/#avrdudew32 ) works fine via IDE and command line

Hi,

I have Windows 98 and can confirm that it works for me using a similar setup. I can program flash with my STK500 connected OK (different firmware in my STK500 form yours though).

As well if I force an error condition avrdude does exit (the STK500 not connected takes a few seconds though).

Regards,

-Colin

extra note: I have the latest version of avrdude built for windows.
