Avr Software Usb
When I started using(a great programmer for AVRs), I soon realized that the avrdude (the softwarefor driving USBasp) is not much usable. Sometimes it irritates me a lots becauseof its command line interface. Also the avrdude-gui is notmuch helpful as it was just calling the avrdude in background. It cannot write/readthe fuse bytes easily and reading the chip content was impossible. I made manychanges to the software to make it more useful but Finally I decided to writea fresh new software from scratch and eXtreme Burner – AVRwas born!The has full graphical user interface (GUI) and can beused much more easily. Screen shots.
Hello Avinash,I was searching for an alternative to AVRdude, which is, as you say, not very “user-friendly”, and found your comment on another site, which led me here. EXtreme Burner is very nice, but I’d like to request a missing feature for V1.1, namely a way to VERIFY (independent of programming) the contents of a chip against a given file. AVR studio has this feature, which is very useful for checking if an “unknown” chip has the code in it that you think it does. An even better feature would be a way to list the differences (often marked by an internal date stamp). YAF (yet another feature) would be an ASCII interpretation of the FLASH (and/or EEPROM) contents in addition to the hex values (with a “.” or “-” for non-ASCII chars). I’m sure you’ve seen this format – it’s pretty common in the “business”.That said, V1.0 is Very Nice, although I would rather that the “read” (or “write) buttons on a given “page” limit their actions to that page, with the “all” function being on the menu bar.
I did have to “hide” the libusb files (per your suggestion). Thanks again for a major advance in AVR programming!-JvZ (Seattle, WA, USA). Hi Kunal,If the Mega8 is not fried, one relatively easy way to recover it is to build a Dontronics DT006 parallel port SPI programmer (very easy to build, even in a protoboard, with just a couple or 330 Ohms resistors and a cap). As you have messed up with the fuses, it is very important that you use an external clock source tied to XTAL1 pin.
The frequency is not critical, one to two MHz will do fine (I use 2MHz). You can nake one with a 555 timer. For the download software, you can use avrdude ou get the CodeVisionAVR (the free eval version) from. Setup as the programmer DT006. Setup carefully the fuse bits to fit your needs.Hope I have helped, and good luckAilson. Hi AvinashYou can count with me to translate eXtreme Burner to Brazilian Portuguese, too!
BTW, the USBasp driver was not being recognized in VISTA just because I didn’t include the two 3V6 zener diodes in the D+ and D- lines (as some USBasp hardware schematics around the Internet don’t). I relied on the two 68 Ohms resistors to protect the USB lines, dropping the microcontroller port voltage from 5V to around 3.6V.

Once I included them, Vista immediately recognized the driver and eXtreme Burner worked beautifully. So, the bottom line is: THE 3V6 ZENER DIODES ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, REGARDLESS OF WHICH O.S.
YOU WORK WITH, INCLUDING LINUX!Regards, Ailson. Hi guys, Sorry for the newbie question: I just hooked up a ATTINY13-20PU to an USPASP programmer. I can read what’s on the chip, i can erase whats on the chip, but i write something on attiny from a hex file, after writing the verifying goes wrong. Mismatch at location 0x000000000, task failed.
Please retry. This problem is very reproducable: ive tried this with several attinies, all of them fail this way. When performing a read to see whats on the ATTINY, the first, second, sixth, seventh, and so on lines are full of free bytes (FFFFs)Have anyone had the same problem? Is this a connection problem, a problem with the programmer, or the extremeburner?Thanks in advanceRolandi.
Hi, AvinashI needed to program a Atmega168P part, but just found an entry for Atmega168 in the “Chip” menu. I realized that you keep the parts database in the “Data” sub-folder in the XML file chips.xml. As the only differences between the 168 and 168P are the name itself and the chip signature (which identifies it), I copied the 168 entry and pasted it right below, changing the tags (to place the suffix “P”) and (to change the 168 signature 0x0006941E into 168P sig 0x000B941E, found in the datasheet), as below:ATmegaE128YESYESYESYESYES.ImagesPlacementsZIFDIP40.bmpWhen I ran eXtremeBurner AVR, I found the Atmega168P listed just below the Atmega168, and the part was programmed successfully.
I detailed this information here for your knowledge (so you can safely include in the next release), and for all users. I take the liberty to ask other users to try other ATtiny/ATmega parts (at their own risk), copying the closest part and modifying the tags accordingly (not forgetting to change the tag). All the needed information can be found in the respective datasheet.
If it works fine, the user might wish to post here to let you and the users to know.Windows users: As an advice, it is more convenient to right-click the chips.xml file and click the “Edit” entry so it will be opened in Notepad, otherwise if the user double-click the file it will be opened in Internet Explorer.BTW, isn’t time for a new Windows release?Best regards and a fruitful 2010,Ailson. EXtreme Burner – AVR (Linux version) does not work on popular Linux distribution Ubuntu 9.04.Error message:Mismatch between the program and library build versions detected.The library used 2.8 (no debug,Unicode,compiler with C ABI 1002,wx containers,compatible with 2.6),and your program used 2.8 (no debug,Unicode,compiler with C ABI 1002,wx containers,compatible with 2.4,compatible with 2.6).There are probably problems with Python wxLibs on Ubuntu. On Fedora eXtreme Burner – AVR run normally. Hi Atul,Please, tell us what Operating System you are using. If you can, tell which USB driver version you installed (0.1.10.1 or 0.1.12.1). Did you build your oun USBAsp programmer? If so, can you post the link to the page you got the schematic from?

Does your programmer have the two protecting 3.6V Zener diodes in the USB D+ and D- lines? I had the same problem as yours just because I did not solder those diodes (Windows Vista). When you installed the driver, you did it as Administrator?Waiting for your response,Regards,Ailson.
New super mario bros 3 ita nintendo ds rom ita. Atul Singh,Martin is right in that you.MUST. put two ceramic caps (22pF or 27pF should be fine) from each crystal terminal to GND. With respect to the ‘veroboard’, it should work fine if you got careful with the connections. Mine even worked on a ‘protoboard’ when I first built it for testing.
After soldering the caps, post if still doesn’t work so that we can proceed. To speed-up things, if you have a voltmeter around, measure the Zener voltage from a removed device (or use one of the same type, if you bought extras) with a 680 Ohms resistor and a 5V supply.
It should be around 3.6V. This is because as one is usually not sure which Zener diode he got (especially the ones glass-encapsulated), there is a possibility that the zener voltage rating is not the correct one.Hi, Martin. Based on your name, you might be from a developed, first world, country. If this is the case, please, take into account that people from “the rest of the world” might not have that few $$ to spend on a ready made programmer. Best regards. Hi dragos,Look at my post #89 above.

It deals with just that: How to add an Atmel chip (ATiny, ATmega) to the “Chips” drop-down menu. I didn’t look the tiny26 datasheet, but maybe its ISP programming parameters are close to the tiny24 (please, check it by yourself). Just copy and paste the whole entry for the Atiny24 chip (just bellow it) in the chips.xml file found in the Data sub-folder and modify its parameters, including its name (to properly show up in the “Chips” drop-down menu).
Make a back-up of the XML file, just in case. Also, please check if your hardware is prepared for this newly entered part (ISP or ZIF socket SPI pinouts).Regards,Ailson. Re bug in hex address: Careful here! The first two hex digits are the BYTE COUNT, not the extended address. In fact Intel Hex format is limited to 16-bit addressing.
There is a special command to change “segments” (remember, this format stems from the 8086 processor days!), viz. An address of 0000, followed by a 2-byte segment address. So for addresses above 65536 (0x10000), the segment address is 0x1000 (i.e. Just divide by 16). Thus the command line in the hex file is: 02 00 EC (without the spaces). The first 02 is the byte count (the segment address is 2 bytes), then an address of 0000, then the special “field change” code of 02, followed by the segment address itself, followed by the checksum of the preceding bytes (to make a total sum of 00).My copy of eXtreme Burner correctly displays addresses above 64K, but DOES NOT SAVE anything above that address.
It also saves an.eep file, even though I un-check the box that says ‘save eep’. Thanks for the great job.Do you consider compiling a 64bit Linux version?
