[avrdude-dev] [bug #34339] back to back avrdude commands fail on dragon_isp on Ubuntu 10.10

[Bill Perry]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #34339 (project avrdude):

Any update on this?
Patch was supplied. It is a mere 6 lines.

avrdude just needs to be a little smarter about how it uses libusb so it can
retry looking for the desired USB device to account for devices still
enumerating during back to back avrdude command executions.

BTW, this avrdude patch has now missed the official Arduino 1.0 release.

It is ironic that without this patch it is not possible to burn a bootloader
using the Arduino IDE or Arduino bootloader Makefiles
since the AVR dragon is made by Atmel and Arduino is the most popular software
environment for the Atmel AVR.

Granted the Arduino IDE and the Arduino bootloader Makefiles could work around
this issue, but it really should be solved in avrdude for any/all USB devices
since the Dragon is not necessarily the only USB device that can experience
this issue.

Even if the Arduino guys were to work around this issue,
it doesn't solve the problem for non Arduino users of the dragon.

What can I do to help move this along?
