AVR-ISP-MKII AVRDUDE and OS X

[TheVoiceOfSaturn]

I successfully managed to flash the libUSB-AVRISP-MKII.hex firmware onto the programmer using but Flip and dfuprogrammer on os x. I made a 10 pin to 6 pin ICSP adapter that I've checked over but I've been unable to program my atmega644 on my mac.

Below is the output when I try to burn the fuses.  I've tried the macports version of AVRDUDE as well as Crosspack and have had no luck.  Is there a known issue with libusb that would require a custom build or something of libusb/avrdude?

Hey,

There is a software bug that affects LUFA-based programmers in newest releases of AVRDUDE. Either use AVRDUDE versions prior to 6.x.x or apply https://www.olimex.com/Products/AVR/Programmers/AVR-ISP-MK2/resources/endpointdetect_pass1.patch this patch to the AVRDUDE sources and compile.

If you want to apply the patch refer to this post by HypervisorX: https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?topic=3208.msg19603#msg19603

The same problems appears in newest releases of Arduino IDE – they use AVRDUDE versions 6.0.1 or newer. The last suitable Arduino IDE version that uses pre-6.x.x AVRDUDE version is Arduino IDE 1.5.7.

The official bug report is here: https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?40831

More about the issue can be found here: http://www.avrfreaks.net/forum/lufa-based-avrisp-mkii-doesnt-work-avrdude-601

Best regards,
Lub/OLIMEX

P.S. I know it is an old post, just stumbled upon it and in case somebody else stumbles upon it I want the situation to be clear.

Great, thanks for the update! I wound up just using a machine running Ubuntu to program what I needed but this is definitely good to know!

Sorry for x posting but I would need some help on using your avrisp mkii on mac osx.

Having made avrdude to work on my machine following this tutorial:
http://www.ladyada.net/learn/avr/setup-mac.html

I have then discovered I would need to recompile avrdude.
As I am not proficient in this, could you please help to send over an already compiled version?

I am using it for my own small projects building some eurorack modules for my own use,

Thank you
