My first AVR Programmer does not recognise My first AVR LED demo Board

Dear nagkiller,

Which compiler you use for generating hex file?

Please reply.

I have Atmel studio 6 and ponyprog,please recommend me any programmer circuit for who compatible with
ponyprog.

 

[alexan_e]

ponyprog will work with almost anything, the most simple one is https://electronics-diy.com/avr_programmer.php but I would suggest the USBasp which is much better.

 

[nagkiller]

I use Atmel AVR Studio 4 with toolchain, USBASP and eXtreme Burner - AVR.

 

[imranahmed]

Please let me know that the attached USBasp is correct circuit can i build it please see it and other question is that the
attached layout can build on ARES. or any other software required for making this type of layout.

 

[alexan_e]

The official schematic of USBasp shown https://www.fischl.de/usbasp/ , there are several modified versions but it is up to you to select.

 

[imranahmed]

Please can you send me your USBasp schematic?.

What is Avrdude?

 

[alexan_e]

The schematic I have used is the one I have showed in the USBasp website, you can also see it in a pdf format https://www.fischl.de/usbasp/usbasp.2011-05-28.tar.gz

avrdude is a command line application to program AVR https://www.nongnu.org/avrdude/
It is included in winavr or can be downloaded separately.

Please let me know what is TOOLCHAIN on Atmel Studio 6 and what its purpose and where I find it in the Atmel
Studio 6?

 

[bigdogguru]

A toolchain or toolset is the compiler and associated utilities required to compile or assemble source code into machine code (HEX file).

The current Atmel toolchain is installed when you install the Atmel Studio 6 package, along with the IDE.

It is typically installed in a directory called the Atmel Software Framework adjacent to the Atmel Studio 6 directory.

C:\Program Files\Atmel\Atmel Software Framework\3.5.0.186

If you want to download atmel 4 and toolchain:
http://www.atmel.com/tools/AVRSTUDIO4.aspx

If you want to download atmel 4 and toolchain:
http://www.atmel.com/tools/AVRSTUDIO4.aspx

Actually a better link is the archive located in http://www.atmel.com/tools/studioarchive.aspx

If you intend to use winavr then I suggest v4.18 SP3
Avoid v5, it is full of bugs, use either v4 or v6

Note that the latest version of studio 6 is not located in the archive, use the main download page for that http://www.atmel.com/tools/atmelstudio.aspx

Dear alexan_e,

I have two USBasp Programmers one I built at home and one I bought from aliexpress.com.

The USBasp I build at home is working well and program my Atmega8 successfully but the purchased USBasp Programmer is

not detected by my PC ,the balloon show message the USB not recognised.

What can I do for make it useful programmer?

 

[bigdogguru]

Is the commercial USBasp loaded with the latest firmware?

If not, you might need to upgrade it.

Also, determine if there are any deviations from the original design, you never know what corners were cut to save money.

Please let me know that how to upgrade its firmware , I did not upgrade its firmware.

 

[bigdogguru]

Essentially like your home built USBasp. :wink:

However, first determine the firmware version currently loaded in the device.

I've not used the USBasp, is there a way to retrieve the current version number of the firmware, through a software app perhaps?

Also before you attempt to upgrade the firmware, you need to verify it follows the design of the standard USBasp, like your home built unit.

Without have the device in front of me it is difficult to say.

Is the AVR in the commercial USBasp a DIP or SMD package?

If DIP, is it socketed?

Is there an ISP programming port available on the commercial USBasp.

Can you post a link to the website of your commercial USBasp?

[imranahmed]

Dear,

The commercial USBasp is detected successfully, the link is printed back of programmer MK-USBISP-V3.00 2012=05-20

I googled it and attain its firmware but it is not programming target AVR , the error occurs about usblib0.dll. I installed

usblib0.dll but the situation become more difficult now because after installing usblib0.dll the software KHAZAMA is not

showing AVR list.

Please see attachment ,it is my programmer.

Yes dear exactly.
