So I have a technical problem that i have been having a hell of a time
fixing. I've been using the pocket programmer from sparkfun:
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9825 . I was using it to program an
Atmega328p. I was having no problem at all using avrdude with the pocket
programmer.
At the time I was using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. To program I used the command the
makefile:
all: main.hex
main.hex: main.elf
avr-objcopy -j .text -j .data -O ihex main.elf main.hex
main.elf: main.c
avr-gcc -mmcu=atmega328 -Wall -Os -o main.elf main.c
prog:
avrdude -F -p m328 -c usbtiny -B 8 -U flash:w:main.hex
fuse:
avrdude -F -c usbtiny -p m328 -U lfuse:w:0xff:m
avrdude -F -c usbtiny -p m328 -U hfuse:w:0xde:m
avrdude -F -c usbtiny -p m328 -U efuse:w:0x05:m
verify:
avrdude -p m328p -P /dev/ttyACM0 -c arduino -U flash:v:main.hex
prog and verify all worked just fine. I also was using the Arduino IDE to
program my arduino too without trouble. However after upgrading to Ubuntu
14.04 I ran into some problems. First, While trying to use the Arduino IDE
to program my Arduino Uno I got this error message:
avrdude: error at
/usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude.conf:996: programmer type
must be written as "id_type"
Looking at the avrdude.conf file in the
"/usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude.conf" I changed
programmerappriecated
id = "stk600";
desc = "Atmel STK600";
type = stk600;
;
to
programmer
id = "stk600";
desc = "Atmel STK600";
type = "stk600";
;
This fixed the problem with the Arduino IDE and I was able to program my
Arduino Uno just fine.
Later I tried to program my stand alone Atmega328p with avrdude and got the
same error message but for
/etc/avrdude.conf. I did the same thing but then got this error message:
avrdude -F -p m328 -c usbtiny -B 8 -U flash:w:main.hex avrdude: Error:
Invalid -P value: '/dev/parport0' Use -P usb:bus:device This is the exact
command that I had previously used to program the exact same chip as before.
This is the point where I am stuck. I haven't found much on google about
this. I tried contacting the people at Sparkfun and they said it might be a
permission issue, but I always run this command as root. any help would be
much appreciated.
