AVR studio 4.16 errors

I'm using AVR studio to burn bootloaders because it's faster than the Arduino IDE and gives me more feedback, but have recently encounetered problems.

I upgraded to that latest version (4.16) because my AVRISP mkII was failing to connect to AVR studio. It runs on a Windows machine, that I use for some things I can't do on my Mac.

AVR studio wanted me to upgrade the firmware on the mkII so I did that. Now AVR studio will burn the Diecimila / Duemilanove bootloader (and everything appears successful) except no blink, and no functionality to the burn. Arduino still works with the mkII and burns bootloaders fine.

Anyone else using AVR studio for burning bootloaders?

Also a FYI - AVR studio changed some of the fuse setting menu labels. "1024" is the new "512" when it comes to bootloader memory partition sizes.

There is an issue with 4.16 and bootloaders. This thread on AVRFreaks has all the info you need to fix it.

thanks digger,

I just found that too. The patch works.

The deal is that AVRstudio appears to download fine, without downloading anything.
