SO, this is also a guide on how to brick you’re $130 Atmel ICE programmer. Seemed I was working with the wrong firmware. Afterwards I could not get the Atmel Ice to go into programming mode. I started the bash interface from the firmware folder and started with with commands:Īfter the rstdisbl I received several errors, of which I have no screenshot. Afterwards I checked the firmware (which I Received from fellow students) I edited the file for it to be flashed onto the MCU. With this configuration, I was able to read the ID of the debugger. The error, I received before the steps (in total 4-6 hrs of troubleshooting and configuration) was: The reason I did the steps above, is due to the fact that Windows 10 has some issues with avrdude or any other AVRISP porgrammer if you are not using the official software provided with the programmer(s). This is the configuration that worked for me: After doing some research, it all pointed towards the system and user path variables in Windows 10. The issues I ran into the setup, is that avrdude was not recognizing the correct ID for the Amtel ICE ISP interface. And installed GNU make for windows, the avr 8 bit toolchain from github and the avrdude from. I wanted to use bash so I installed all the required files using this link: Brian's Tutorial. Use the software provided with the official software for the Atmel Ice programmer or use the opensource avrdude. I’m running a Windows 10 laptop, meaning I had 2 options. Getting the Atmel Ice to work with avrdude: (These 2 will funciotn as a jumper, in order for the PCB to be programmed as a controller) We chose the parts we needed to solder on the board using the ATTiny44A MCU. We did manage to mill the pcbs using the broken bits and the end results are certainly from a good quality. Sooooo….if any of you have broken bits (we will send the new specs), send them our way.Īll jokes aside, we were able to mill the PCBs according to the specs of Neil. I will keep on trying to edit this program for the many more spelling and grammar mistakes as well trying to fix some other errors.There were several issues with the milling process and this prevented us from making our boards right away.ĭue to the issues we had a few broken bits, however we discovered that every bit that was broken milled the PCBs at the right measures. You can download the updated file from my web site above. have now managed to get at the menu system and edit the spelling mistakes there as well as a few more dialog boxes. If you would like to try the result of my efforts you can download the modified program from here, There are still many more English errors in the program, but I am unable to change them. I have changed several hundred errors, which have made a noticeable improvement to the program. Unfortunately I was unable to get at some of the lower level dialogue boxes and any of the dynamically written text. I managed to partially De-compile the program enabling access to some of the dialogue boxes and modify the text (UK English). After a while these errors become annoying, so I decided to try and do something about it. Perhaps one of its biggest short comings is the very poor standard of English, with many spelling and grammatical errors in the program. The Genius G540 programmer is a case of good hardware let down by its software.
