NOT WORKING: arduino software 1.6.3 and programmer olimex avr-isp-mk2

[jack_zande]

Hi all,

ARDUINO SOFTWARE has the option "UPLOAD WITH PROGRAMMER".
I have bought a week ago the Olimex AVR-ISP-MK2.
It works fine with Arduino 1.0.5, but not with 1.6.3 or 1.6.4.

There are timeout and communication problems. It will not upload the sketches on the
ISP connector on the ARUINO UNO board.

On the github forum of Arduino BUG report I get the following information:
> ide 1.0 ships avrdude 5.11,     
> ide 1.6 ships avrdude 6.0.1

So new developments have changed the programming methode through USB communication.
Olimex AVR-ISP-MK2 maybe needs to have a new firmware update to work with that.

Is there any available?

Jack

Maybe the Arduino 1.6x setup has the wrong config for avrdude or now runs it wrongly.  Had a look e.g. compared 1.6x with 1.0x?
