My first AVR Programmer does not recognise My first AVR LED demo Board

If you know about AVR microcontroller so please guide me.

 

[alexan_e]

Are you asking for a guide how to program an AVR?
Do you have a programmer?

I would suggest you start with www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=38691

I haven`t AVR programmer.Where i find its programmer and compiler?

 

[alexan_e]

A search for AVR programmer would lead to a lot of DIY designs.
One of the most popular is USPasp http://www.fischl.de/usbasp/
You can make it yourself or you can buy it from ebay for $4-$5

You will also find serial or parallel post programmers.

Atmel provides the compiling tools for free http://www.atmel.com/tools/atmelstudio.aspx but the software only supports the Atmel programmers , USBasp or USBtiny etc are not supported, for them you have to use an external programming software like avrdude or ponyprog

 

[imranahmed]

Thank you for quick reply,

Please let me know that can you suggest me that which compiler and software and programmer i download from your
given links.

- - - Updated - - -

I successfully download PonyProg2000 two things remaining compiler and programmer circuit.

The schematic given in this https://www.fischl.de/usbasp/ link can work on ponyprog2000.

 

[alexan_e]

Yes it can but in order to make it you need to program an AVR.
You can use an easy to make serial programmer like https://electronics-diy.com/avr_programmer.php but I still think that you are better off buying it ready.

I have given you the link for AVR studio , that is the IDE and compiler

 

[imranahmed]

Thank you very much.
Buying process is not easy for me but i can easily build your given programmer.Again thank you.

Dear Alex,

My next step is to design a USB AVR programmer while studding AVR and programming using my serial programmer . from that I need to directly connect with AVR Studio to debug and program. what would be the most popular schematic diagram that I can use to design
Does Atmel release the any firmware for USB programmer for AVR like PIC have (PIClkit2)?
Please advice
Thanks in advance

Does Atmel release the any firmware for USB programmer for AVR like PIC have (PIClkit2)?

Not to my knowledge, although I have seen several clones available, so someone has reversed engineered them.

The USBasp are available on eBay at a very low price, buy-it-nows for in the $3 USD range with free shipping, it's almost not worth building your own.

You should also be aware that the AVRisp and USBasp are programmers only and do not support debugging like PICkit2/3 or ICD2/3.

I have seen some clones of the JTAGICE mk II, which supports both ISP and JTAG programming and debugging through the JTAG interface.

**broken link removed**

Another alternative is the AVR Dragon which is a USB device, supports several programming interfaces and debugging as well:

Atmel AVR Dragon

Atmel Store - AVR Dragon

The AVR Dragon has a suggested retail price of $49 USD, although I've seen them on sale from various distributors for considerably less.

Also new and used AVR Dragons are regularly posted on eBay.

Dear alexan_e,

The AVR Studio problem during downloading and show a (bug on disk) error.
Please let me know what should i do for proper downloading
and installing?

In my laptop AVAST antivirus is running.

 

[alexan_e]

The file provided in the Atmel website is fine, if you can't download it using your browser then try a download manager.
I don't use Avast, if there is a problem with it disable it temporarily in order to download AVR studio.

 

[imranahmed]

Dear alexan_e

Still the AVR studio cannot download and install in my laptop,i installed download manager but how to download through download manager, which link i entered in a download manager.Please tell me about that problem.
Can you send AVR studio zip file or not?

 

[imranahmed]

Dear PA3040,

Please let me know that which compiler for programming, compatible for PonyProg2000.

I built a programmer from your given link https://electronics-diy.com/avr_programmer.php and but i need compiler.
Please recommend me compiler.

 

[alexan_e]

II have read that there was a problem with the download server for studio 6 but it has been fixed , you can try to download it again

 

[imranahmed]

Dear alexan_e,

Please let me know that which compiler for programming, compatible for PonyProg2000.

I built a programmer from PA3040 given link https://electronics-diy.com/avr_programmer.php and but i need compiler.
Please recommend me compiler and if I will build USBasp attached programmer it will work or not.

 

[alexan_e]

There is no compatibility issue, any compiler will generate a hex file which can be written to AVR using ponyprog or any other programming software.

I would suggest Atmel studio, have you tries to download it again?

USBasp will work fine with ponyprog or avrdude.

 

[imranahmed]

That`s right I will install Atmel Studio 6 but one question is that the programmer given in this link https://electronics-diy.com/avr_programmer.php will work with atmel studio 6 .

Finally I have Atmel studio 6, this programmer https://electronics-diy.com/avr_programmer.php and ponyprog2000.Is this set of
compiler,programmer and burner will work?

 

[bigdogguru]

I believe you'll need to use the PonyProg or AVRDude programming utility to load the HEX file generated by Atmel Studio 6 into the AVR device being programmed.

[alexan_e]

USBasp will not work with Atmel studio 6 or any older version (4 or 5) but that is not much of a problem , just use your favorite software to program the chip.

I use eXtreme Burner - AVR with usbasp!!!
