Re: [avrdude-dev] AVRdude freezes

[dlc]

Does avrdude work several times, then work slowly a few times and then 
freeze from that point on every time you use it?  This is what I 
experience when I use avrdude on a Mac OSX 10.4 system talking to a 
AVRISP II.  I never figured it out, the same config worked fine on OS X 
10.5 to the AVRISP II.  I finally gave up and made a bootloader that 
works over Bluetooth and looks like a plain AVRISP.
