programming fails #3

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. connect atmega168 to arduino, noted that directions in comments at
beginning of avrisp.pde code seem to be incorrect (miso/mosi inverted). i
used the following instead:

arduino pin 7 - "communicating" led
arduino pin 8 - "error" led
arduino pin 9 - "heartbeat" led
arduino pin 10 - atmega pin 1 "reset"
arduino pin 11 - atmega pin 17 "mosi"
arduino pin 12 - atmega pin 18 "miso"
arduino pin 13 - atmega pin 19 "sck"

2. upload avrisp.pde into arduino diecimila, i can see heartbeat led fading
on/off. quit arduino environment.
3. enter command from within hardware/tools/avr/bin directory of
arduino-011 directory: ./avrdude -C ../etc/avrdude.conf -p m168 -c avrisp
-b 19200 -P /dev/tty.usbserial-A4001lXM -U flash:w:Blink.hex -U
lfuse:w:0xE2:m -U hfuse:w:0xDF:m 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected to burn "blink" program to atmega168.
instead:
- heartbeat went off 
- "communicating" led did not light up.
- after a while, "error" led started flashing.
- avrdude gives error messages, see below. program is not uploaded.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Mac OS X 10.4.11, Arduino Diecimila, Arduino environment v.11

Please provide any additional information below.

Although avrdude appeared to upload and verify the program hex file, it is
not so, since the same output happens whether or not the target atmega is
even connected to the programming lines.

eh, somehow my inital comments got lost... anyways, thanks for working on this! 
it
would be great to use the arduino itself to program blank atmega chips!

You're right about the pins, they were mislabeled in the original release.
For the programming, it looks like the flash part works. I'd suggest programming
the flash and then programming the fuses in a separate step.

The avrdude in Arduino 011 doesn't always work. I'd recommend using a current 
WinAVR
toolchain.

I seem to be having a problem programming the fuse bytes as well.  Normal flash
programming works fine, but reading the fuse bytes always results in 0x00 and 
writing
the fuse bytes fails.

I have tried both high and low fuses, with the same results for both.  I am on 
OS X
10.4, using avrdude included with Arduino 013 (I tried the macports version, 
but it
could not even program the flash RAM correctly).  I just updated from avrisp 
0.2 to
0.3, and the problem exists with both.

Output of avrdude (for reading) follows:

Getting this same error while programming a small production run of devices. 
Design works, but programming failure rate is 30%. Devices were contract 
manufactured. Using avrdude: Version 5.10 on Ubuntu 10.10

Answering yes causes both avrispmkII LEDs to flash, and hang avrdude and the 
avrispmkII. Only solution is to unplug/replug avrispmkII to reset it and move 
try the next device. Answering no for lfuse, hfuse, and efuse returns the 
prompt but still crashes avrispmkII. 

I find it kind of hard to believe that 30% of the Atmega168's in my build are 
bad or damaged. Will gladly work with devs to debug this problem and improve 
avrdude!

Last time I had similar simptoms with ATmega328P, it was because the SPI clock 
during ISP was too high for the MCU clock.

Did you try to reduce SPI clock during ISP programming?

What clock frequency is the MCU running from during ISP? 

Do you get better yield if you use avrdude option -B 40 ?
