[avrdude-dev] write command failed with 128

[Jonatan Magnusson]

Hi

I have a problem while programming with avrdude. My setup is:

OS: Ubuntu Dapper x86
Programmer: STK500 (with latest firmware)
AVR: AT90S8515

The hardware is verified to work with AVRStudio.

This is the output:

  <snip>

  avrdude done.  Thank you.


I have the same problem with the Ubuntu Dapper-version of avrdude (5.1),
version 5.1 compiled from tar-ball and the current CVS-version.

My command-line is: 

  /usr/local/bin/avrdude -c stk500v2 -p at90s8515 -P /dev/ttyS0 -e -U
flash:w:demo.out.hex -v -F

Searching through the archives a similar error was reported in september
last year:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/avrdude-dev/2005-09/msg00016.html

The solution at that time was to try the CVS-version of avrdude, but
that did not make any difference for me.

Using "-c stk500" resulted in a timeout.
