[avrdude-dev] How to add flip support for atxmega128a1?

[Christopher Kuhn]

I'm interested in adding support for the 128a1.
The Flip tool supports it if you add the following xml file to the
bin/PartDescriptionFiles
directory.
The 128a is very similar to the 128a1u, so I'm guessing it's a matter of
getting the conf file correct?

<?xml version="1.0"?>
> <!DOCTYPE Part SYSTEM "part.dtd">
> <Part NAME="ATxmega128A1">
> <PageSize SIZE="512" />
>
> <Memory NAME="FLASH"         SIZE="131072" ADDR="0"  INDEX="0"/>
> <Memory NAME="EEPROM"        SIZE="2048"   ADDR="0"  INDEX="1"/>
> <Memory NAME="BOOTLOADER"    SIZE="3"                INDEX="3"/>
> <Memory NAME="SIGNATURE"     SIZE="4"                INDEX="6"/>
> <Memory NAME="USER"          SIZE="512"              INDEX="11"/>
> <Protocol FILE="RS232_I03.xml" />
> </Part>


​I tried to modify the avrdude.conf file with the correct usbpid (0x2122),
but ​I'm getting the following error message.

$ avrdude -c flip2 -p x128a1 -D -U application:w:bin/demo.hex

​I would really appreciate any nudge in the right direction.
My apologies if this is inappropriate for this mailing list.
