Updating AVR-ISP-MKII Firmware in Linux

[astrorafael]

hello

I'm just opening a new thread, in case my follow up in this one went unnoticed

I received my brand new OLIMEX AVR-ISP-MKII programmer two days ago

Since I'm working in linux, I have no Atmel FLIP utility.
Instead, I used 'dfu-programmer' to update the firmware.

After disconnecting the device, the yellow LED blinks for a long second, the RED led blinks for a fraction and then stays turned on. No green LEED anymore

Apparently, the firmware has been updatedm but when I reset the programmer, I don't see any /dev/ttyXXX device. avrdude always expects a /dev/ttyXXX device. So I'm stuck here.

I have set the firmware back to the AVR456-studio-AVRISP-MKII.hex file you provide still shows the same LED results.

How can I proceed ?  Must I use Flip on Windows ? Is the programmer broken now ?

Thank you very much in advance
Rafael


FYI, This is what I typed

root@corvus:/home/desa# dfu-programmer at90usb162 erase --debug 6
     target: at90usb162
    chip_id: 0x2ffa
  vendor_id: 0x03eb
    command: erase
      quiet: false
      debug: 6
device_type: AVR
------ command specific below ------
   validate: true

NOTE THAT I TYPED --suppress-bootloader-mem IN THE COMMAND BELOW AS A SAFETY MEASURE

root@corvus:/home/desa/firmware/olimex# dfu-programmer at90usb162 flash --suppress-bootloader-mem --debug 6 libUSB-AVRISP-MKII.hex
     target: at90usb162
    chip_id: 0x2ffa
  vendor_id: 0x03eb
    command: flash
      quiet: false
      debug: 6
device_type: AVR
------ command specific below ------
   validate: true
   hex file: libUSB-AVRISP-MKII.hex

dmesg after firmware update

[ 1975.488164] usb 2-1: USB disconnect, device number 19

Ok, it turns ut that the whole process of seeting up the Arduino (Uno) was far mor complex.

The above command does work perfectly to flash the new firmware

dfu-programmer at90usb162 flash --debug 6 libUSB-AVRISP-MKII.hex

And then follow the recipe on

Last, but not least, do not forget to enable +5V supply from the AVR-ISP-MK2 and plug in the ISP 6-pin header
