avrdude 5.4 for Windows

July 15th, 2007 · 7 Comments · winavr

I had some problems with the avrdude 5.3.1. It complains about reading the fuses properly.

Verify error - unable to read lfuse properly. Programmer may not be
reliable.

A workaround is to use the -u switch to override this check. As the new version with this bug fixed is not available for windows, I tried to compile it myself. I used MinGW and MSYS and it worked, at least for me. I can now even omit the -F switch, which I had to use before, as the device signature was not read properly. If you want to try it, here you go.

Download: avrdude 5.4 windows

Van, my ./configure complains a lot, so at the moment I can not provide a version with libusb support. I will try later.

You might want to use a lower SCK frequency instead. (The USBasp programmer supports this.)

Hi,

I donloaded the zip file, extracted the contents and clicked on the exe. A dos window pops up and disappears immediately. I’m using WinXP SP2. The exe just has a regular dos icon. Any suggestions?

Hi Bala,
avrdude is a command line tool, it has no GUI. You have to start cmd to use it.
Cheers,
Alex

You can use a Graphical User Interface, it´s easier if you are not so handy with the command line…look for AVRDUDE GUI on google.
