avrdude vs Microchip Studio for an xmega hex file #1075

Closed mcuee closed 2 years ago

mcuee commented 2 years ago

This is probably not a bug but rather I feel strange that Microchip Studio seems to be able to program a hex file considered as invalid by avrdude.

The hex file is provided by a vendor (MCUzone) of ATxmega32A4U mini board as the factory DFU bootloader (no source codes provided). It does not seem to work under my system but neverthess Microchip Studio is able to program the chip using an AVRISP mkii with PDI. avrdude pops out an error.

PS C:\work\avr\avrdude_test\avrdude_bin> .\avrdude -c avrispmkii -p x32a4u -U .\USB_bootloader_xmega32a4u_mini_EO.hex

The initial intention is to test out FLIP2 (xmega DFU bootloader) and see if the patch in #733 works or not.

By right there is also a factory DFU bootloader but I have not figured out how to enter that one yet. By the AN using PC3 should be able to enter the bootloader. However it does not work. Windows report the following error, similar to vendor's bootloader (using PE0).

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

A request for the USB device descriptor failed.

The hex file is OK. The trouble is that the default memory for ATxmega parts for -U is application not flash or boot. Try -U flash:w:file:i

Thanks. Now it works and the USB DFU device is also recognized by Windows.

But avrdude -c flip2 does not seem to work. Need to study futher.

Looks like I need to use application for the upload. But it still failed.
