ATMEL AVR ISP MK2 - MikroElektronika IDE

[shadders]

Hi,

i have already purchased the AVR ISP MK2 - but I do not believe that this is supported by the AVR IDE - the device is not recognised.

Can anyone confirm this is the case ?. Thanks.

The MikroElektronika programmer has a different pin out to the Atmel device - as such, the boards i have had produced all have the smaller connector for the Atmel programmer.

If the IDE cannot be used, then i assume the Hex file output can be used to program the ATMega32A using AVR Studio ?.

Thanks and regards,

Richard.

Hi,

You can include the AVR programmers in the mikroC PRO for AVR IDE, by adding a Tool.
Please, open Tools\Options\ and under the Tools tab you can add up to 10 external programs and assign them a shortcut.
As a shortcut, you can put a path to the programmer utility consulting the programmer utility command line, which can be found in its documentation.

Regards,
Filip.

Here a Sample Parameter Line for the XMega16A4 on the STK600 Board :

Program File : C:\Program Files (x86)\Atmel\AVR Tools\Stk600\Stk600.exe

Parameters : -cUSB;00C0000005DE -ut3.3 -!32MHz -I460800 -d%CHIP_NAME -e -md -if"%HEX_FILE_NAME" -pf -vf
^^^^^^^^^
The Parameter -cUSB;XXXXXXXXXXXX is the Serial of the USB Connected Board. You find the Serial by using the AVRStudio Programmer when selecting programming Device.

Works fine on a Win7 X64 System

I hope this helps

regards

Ok, picture didn't work.

Here is what I had to do. Basically put quotes around the %HEX_FILE_NAME macro.

File Name: C:\Program Files\Atmel\AVR Tools\STK500\Stk500.exe

Parameters: -d%CHIP_NAME -if"%HEX_FILE_NAME" -e -pf -cUSB

Hope it helps,
Patrick
