[SOLVED]Problems using USBasp with Arduino IDE 1.6.10/Arduino AVR Boards 1.6.12

update: problem solved installing different windows driver. see http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=415210.msg2862244#msg2862244 instructions.


original post:
i excited see arduino ide 1.6.10/arduino avr boards 1.6.12 includes avrdude 6.3 seems causing me problems usbasp.

the first problem ran is:

code: [select]

c:\program files (x86)\arduino-1.6.10\hardware\tools\avr/bin/avrdude -cc:\program files (x86)\arduino-1.6.10\hardware\tools\avr/etc/avrdude.conf -v -patmega328p -cusbasp -pusb -e -ulock:w:0x3f:m -uefuse:w:0x05:m -uhfuse:w:0xde:m -ulfuse:w:0xff:m

avrdude done.  thank you.

error while burning bootloader.
apparently avrdude 6.3 checks usbvendor , usbproduct product entries in avrdude.conf correct. looking @ avrdude.conf saw issue has been addressed usbasp-clone entry. added following entry programmers.txt:

code: [select]

usbaspclone.name=usbasp clone
usbaspclone.communication=usb
usbaspclone.protocol=usbasp-clone
usbaspclone.program.protocol=usbasp-clone
usbaspclone.program.tool=avrdude
usbaspclone.program.extra_params=-pusb
with tools > programmer > usbasp clone selected when try do tools > burn bootloader get:

avrdude done.  thank you.
i have similar results sketch > upload using programmer.

i've tried variety of usbasp firmwares: fischl v1.04, baite, usbasp v2.0 lc technology, petervh's v1.05, , bperrybap/petervh's v1.06-alpha-2016-05-18 connected uno , mega, same result.

with arduino ide 1.6.9 , previous works fine. difference in commands between 1.6.9 , 1.6.10 avrdude path, avrdude.conf path, , programmer type:

code: [select]


c:\program files (x86)\arduino-1.6.9\hardware\tools\avr/bin/avrdude -cc:\program files (x86)\arduino-1.6.9\hardware\tools\avr/etc/avrdude.conf -v -patmega328p -cusbasp -pusb -e -ulock:w:0x3f:m -uefuse:w:0x05:m -uhfuse:w:0xde:m -ulfuse:w:0xff:m
c:\program files (x86)\arduino-1.6.10\hardware\tools\avr/bin/avrdude -cc:\program files (x86)\arduino-1.6.10\hardware\tools\avr/etc/avrdude.conf -v -patmega328p -cusbasp-clone -pusb -e -ulock:w:0x3f:m -uefuse:w:0x05:m -uhfuse:w:0xde:m -ulfuse:w:0xff:m

if tries using usbasp arduino avr boards 1.6.12(included arduino ide 1.6.10) pretty please let me know results are.

two other users have reported working fine them.

i'm wondering if might windows specific issue(i'm using windows 7).

i've tried 6 different usbasps, 3 different models, on 2 computers multiple ide versions, same results: using arduino avr boards 1.6.12 can't usbasp work, other version works fine ide version(including 1.6.10).

usbtinyisp , arduino isp work fine me after making change boards.txt: https://github.com/arduino/arduino/pull/5182

if turns out bug i'll submit pull request or issue report arduino developers. if necessary i'll publish workaround , make installable via boards manager if possible. have other types of programmers can use , other ide versions installed, main reason want find solution because issue potentially affect future changes may need made multiple 3rd party boards packages i'm involved ensure toolchain compatibility users.
