Hi,

I've followed the instructions here and  here. If I try to upload a simple program to the arduino board I get the following error

Code:

The symlink is correct.

Can you post the source to function in AvrdudeUploader.java that you changed?

Can you post the source to function in AvrdudeUploader.java that you changed?

Here we go:

Code:

public boolean avrdude(Collection params) throws RunnerException {
    List commandDownloader = new ArrayList();
    commandDownloader.add("avrdude -F ");

    // Point avrdude at its config file since it's in a non-standard location.
    if(Base.isMacOS()) {
      commandDownloader.add("-C" + "hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf");
    }
    else if(Base.isWindows()) {
      String userdir = System.getProperty("user.dir") + File.separator;
      commandDownloader.add("-C" + userdir + "hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf");
    } else {
      // ???: is it better to have Linux users install avrdude themselves, in
      // a way that it can find its own configuration file?
      commandDownloader.add("-C" + "hardware/tools/avrdude.conf");
    }

    if (Preferences.getBoolean("upload.verbose")) {
      commandDownloader.add("-v");
      commandDownloader.add("-v");
      commandDownloader.add("-v");
      commandDownloader.add("-v");
    } else {
      commandDownloader.add("-q");
      commandDownloader.add("-q");
    }
    // XXX: quick hack to chop the "atmega" off of "atmega8" and "atmega168",
    // then shove an "m" at the beginning.  won't work for attiny's, etc.
    commandDownloader.add("-pm" +
      Preferences.get("boards." + Preferences.get("board") + ".build.mcu").substring(6));
    commandDownloader.add("-F");
    commandDownloader.addAll(params);

    return executeUploadCommand(commandDownloader);
  }
}

I've inserted only the line commandDownloader.add("-F");  like the entry in the forum recommends.

[Reply #3 on:]

Change: commandDownloader.add("avrdude -F ");
to:  commandDownloader.add("avrdude");

[Reply #4 on:]

I'm a bit confused. I've changed the line from commandDownloader.add("avrdude -F ") to commandDownloader.add("avrdude") but I still get the same error. I've removed the work directory and created a new one by executing ./make.sh - Is there some kind of "make clean" available or a place where I can delete old *.class files? I don't have a explanation for this behavior of the code.

[Reply #5 on:]

I don't think there are compiled files outside of the work/ directory, but you might look around for .class files.  You don't have any spaces around avrdude inside the quotes, do you?  Are you sure you edited the right .java file?

[Reply #6 on:]

Hi,

I get a new error:

Code:

avrdude: Yikes!  Invalid device signature.
         Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
         this check.

I've followed the instructions again and just wrote add("-F') and now I get a

Code:

avrdude: Yikes!  Invalid device signature.
avrdude: Expected signature for ATMEGA168 is 1E 94 06

Suggestions?

Regards, Michael

It was the right java file, but the wrong line.  :-/

[Reply #8 on:]

Did you leave this line in?

commandDownloader.add("-F");

Try moving it earlier in the function.

[Reply #9 on:]

I've moved the line to the beginning of the function, but nothing changed.

Code:

public boolean avrdude(Collection params) throws RunnerException {
    List commandDownloader = new ArrayList();
    commandDownloader.add("avrdude");
   commandDownloader.add("-F");
    // Point avrdude at its config file since it's in a non-standard location.
    if(Base.isMacOS()) {
      commandDownloader.add("-C" + "hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf");
    }
    else if(Base.isWindows()) {
      String userdir = System.getProperty("user.dir") + File.separator;
      commandDownloader.add("-C" + userdir + "hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf");
    } else {

Huh.  Can you set upload.verbose to true in your Arduino preferences file (http://www.arduino.cc/en/Hacking/Preferences) and then try again and post the messages you get?

Yepp. Now I get a "Wrong microcontroller found. Did you select the right board ..."

Dunno, the -F should override that.  Maybe trying moving it around?  You could try various commands on the command line before editing and recompiling the IDE.

[Reply #13 on:]

Yepp. Now I get a "Wrong microcontroller found. Did you select the right board ..."

I got that same error after upgrading from Arduino-0009 to Arduino-0011. My workaround was to replace arduino-0011/hardware/tools/avrdude with a shell script:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/avrdude -F $*

Not exactly safe&clean, but that did the trick.
