Trouble compiling with WinAVR

[thomasfredericks]

My setup :

• windows 8.1
• core i7
• winAVR 2010-01-20
• command prompt

When I try to compile UPDATER from the MASTER branch I get the following error :

process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, stat -c %s usbasploader.raw, ...) failed.
make[1]: Entering directory `C:/Users/thoma_000/Documents/projects/agit pov/boards/coyote/bootloader

With the 94c580c branch, I get the following error when I try to compile the FIRMWARE :

.

Please try a recent WinAVR. For example Atmel just provided the 3.4.3 version:

http://www.atmel.com/images/avr8-gnu-toolchain-installer-3.4.3.12-win32.any.x86.exe

Or perhaps you read the paragraph for Windows http://matrixstorm.com/avr/tinyusbboard/#asmorc_windows

"Since the new toolchain avr8-gnu-toolchain-installer-3.4.3.12-win32.any.x86.exe is without an installer and thus harder to setup/use, you might want to use older avr-toolchain-installer-3.4.2.1573-win32.win32.x86 available from the mirrors instead. "

I installed avr-toolchain-installer-3.4.2.1573-win32.win32.x86 since avr8-gnu-toolchain-installer-3.4.3.12-win32.any.x86.exe does not include make, sh, etc

I get the following output when compiling. Isn't the compiled bootloader too big for the chip? I still get errors for the updater.

Do you think this will be solved with avr8-gnu-toolchain-installer-3.4.3.12?

Hi.

The issue with your toolchain is solved. But as you already stated: Your firmware does not fit into the bootsection. This is why the updater part aborted compilation:

"updater.c:121:4: error: #error firmware too big! firmware does not fit into flash memory!"

This might be, because you changed clock from 16MHz to 12MHz. Decreasing clock roughly means increasing the firmware (because of timed USB code). The default configuration set of the stable releases of USBaspLoader didn't took this into consideration. So either you switch some features off, to make it fit or you use/take a look into the testing branch. The testing branch now has an auto feature-selection depending on the clock (12MHz or 16MHz at the moment).

Compiling the testing should work with no worries.

Hi, everything is good. You can close this issue. Thank you.

[baerwolf]

Thank you, too.

I wish you a Merry Christmas.
