[avrdude-dev] AVR910 Programming speed

[Bertolt Mildner]

I just started playing around with a AVR910 Programmer and avrdude.

I'm very disapointed over the programming speed.

Writeing 5342 Bytes to a AT90S8515 gives me the
following times (erase, write, verify):

avrdude 3:30
AVR Studio 4 1:10
PonyProg2000 (SI-Prog hardware) 0:30

Are AVR910 programmers known to be slow in general?
Anyone got an idea why avrdude is 3 times slower that AVR Studio?
Is there any chance to get close to the 0:30 using a AVR910
programmer at all?


My environment:
Win2000, P-III 550MHz

recent CVS snapshot build using Cygwin
command line is "avrdude -c avr910 -P COM2 -p 8515 -e -i test2.hex"

self built AVR910 programmer using firmware 2.2 or 2.3 from Atmel. Both
minimaly tweaked because I use a AT90S2313 (instead of the AT90S1200)
running at 4MHz.
