Jaakko, I have recently received this bug-report about picprog (Debian). <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=387185>
Let me summerize what we have found so far. - When asking around various people have confirmed that picprog fails on the 64-bit amd64 platform. - Altering the delay-routines so that picprog thinks the CPU is ten times faster seems to solve the problem. - Disabling the use of the RDTSC-instruction also seems to solve the problem, but not for everybody. - On my old laptop, picprog works at 600Mhz, but not at 750Mhz. By disabling the use of RDTSC, picprog works without a problem at 750Mhz on my laptop. (Note, my laptop is not an amd64 ;-) ) To me it seems that disabling the use of RDTSC is a good idea. Any comments? Also, maybe we can try to add an extra "delay"-option to picprog so that when picprog fails to run on some hardware, people can use this option to make picprog run more slowy. -- Met vriendelijke groetjes - Jan Wagemakers - ...
