I'm trying to use this USB/Serial adapter with avrdude with no luck. I don't see a programmer option for this specific one. Does anyone know if it will work? Just for fun I tried some various options and the best I got was:
avrdude -p m328p -c ft232r -P usb -e
can't open ftdi device 0. (inappropriate permissions on device!)
avrdude done. Thank you.
I still can't get it to work, haven't had much time though. Any ideas?
Which OS ?
With Linux to have access to USB you must below to dialout group.
Are you working from the IDE and you want to download to a non-usb arduino?
If so, just find the port number of your converter and select that port in the drop down in the IDE after setting the board type. You should not have to mess with avrdude command lines unless you are trying to download outside of the IDE.
In windows, just open control panel->system->hardware tab->device manager then open the "Ports" entry to find where your ft232r port assignment has landed. In my machine, it was COM13. Any open ports will most likely show up when you open the Tools->Port selection in the IDE so that is really the easy, easy way.
If you're downloading outside of the IDE, the command line generated by the IDE was:
avrdude -CC:/path/avrdude.conf -v -patmega328p -carduino -PCOM13 -b57600 -D -Uflash:w:C:/path/Blink.cpp.hex:i
