Can’t upload program to ATmega16

atmegaavravrdude

I have the same exact problem as in this question, except that I have an ATmega16 microcontroller. But the answer on that question doesn't solve my problem. ie:

The command: avrdude -c avrisp -p m16 results in the following error message:

avrdude: ser_open(): can't set attributes for device "/dev/ttyS0":
    Inappropriate ioctl for device
avrdude done.  Thank you.

I don't whether to ask the question is right but I badly need an answer to this problem.

After connecting the device lsusb, I get the following:

Bus 001 Device 018: ID 16c0:05dc VOTI shared ID for use with libusb

The problem with this is that I had been using USBASP programmer. So instead of

avrdude -c avrisp -p m16

I needed to run the following command

avrdude -c usbasp -p m16

Electronic – Arduino Diecimila (ATMEGA168) + JTAG ICE MKII Hell..Did I Fry the Chip

I believe I may have found a two part solution for my particular problem. I currently own an Arduino Diecimila (which has the ATMEGA168 with the problem) and also a new Arduino Nano 3.0. I went ahead and flashed the Arduino Nano with the ArduinoISP firmware. I then picked up 3 28 Pin ATMEGA328P DIP chips for $5.00 each at the local electronics store.

I used the ArduinoISP to flash one of the virgin chips with the Arduino Firmware using the above link with a crystal. I plan to now flash one of the other ATMEGA328Ps with the High Voltage Programmer firmware. This chip along with a bit of wiring on a breadboard should allow me to reset all of the fuses on the original ATMEGA168. Once that is done, I will be able to use the Arduino Nano to reprogram the chip.

Since the ATMEGA328Ps only cost $5 each, my end goal is to setup one 328 as an Arduino ISP programmer, setup the 168 as a HV Programmer, keep one 328 chip in my current Arduino Diecimila (upgrade!!), and I'll have one left over for whatever. I can then either switch chips on the Diecimila or build out a real board for the ISP and HV Programmer boards.

I still have not tested the JTAG ICE MKII yet with a logic/oscilloscope. Not sure if it is the root of the problem or not. I will address this issue after I build the HV Programmer.

I will report back on the success/failure of the HV Programmer. I just need to go get a few more 1K resistors to pull it off. Anyone ever tried the HV Programmer? Any other suggestions? If nothing else, hope this helps someone.

Electronic – LED remains off on ATmega16

Too much details for a comment, so I chose to write it as answer.

Try these commands:

cflags="-g -DF_CPU=1000000 -Wall -Os -Werror -Wextra"
avrType=m16

avr-gcc ${cflags} -mmcu=${avrType} -Wa,-ahlmns=test.lst -c -o test.o test.cpp
avr-gcc ${cflags} -mmcu=${avrType} -o test.elf test.o
avr-objcopy -j .text -j .data -O ihex test.elf test.hex
avrdude -p ${avrType} -c avrispv2 -P usb -v -U flash:w:test.hex

Check http://git.linformatronics.nl/gitweb/?p=makefile;a=summary for a generic Makefile. It'll need some tweaking as I am using a different programmer and controller, but it should be pretty straightforward.
