Me and a friend of mine bought 2 AVR JTAGICE mkII clone from avrvi (web site www.avrvi.com) and, when connecting to AVR32 Studio 2.2 to debug applications on EVK1100 (purchased from ATMEL), I had the following error advice:
Failed to initialize the AVR32 GDB+proxy.
Failed to initialize emulator.
Error signing on to JTAGICE mkII at USB:00A000400651.
Failed to execute command with ID 0x01.
Buffer length is less than framesize + 1
We noted the same problems using this debugger on AVR Studio 4.
I tried to update firmware from AVR32 Studio 2.2 and from AVR Studio 4 using “Firmware Upgrade” function without resolution.
After various researches on the internet, on www.avrfreaks.net and on www.avrvi.com, finally I found the web site http://www.keeelectronics.com/mkii.htm . I asked for firmware upgrade (by email) and I received the file jtagicemkii.dat. Then I installed AVR Studio 4 (for AVR8 processors) and I substituted this file in c:\Programs\Atmel\AVR Tools\JTAGICEmkII\; then I upgraded firmware from AVR Studio 4 and now, at a first look, my JTAGICE mkII works properly on AVR32 Studio 2.2 and works properly on AVR Studio 4 too.
I hope this will help!!
Best regards to all. |

AVRVI's mkII-clone is same as standard ATJTAGICE2,
Ofcourse you can upgrade firmware from atmel studio 4
Why did you modify your firmware as keeelectronics firmware? |

Because of the error described in my first post: it didn't work!!
Moreover, it is not identical to ATMEL debugger: I opened mine and ATMEL one and I noted that there are severl hardware differences.
As soon as I tried to use the clone with EVK1100 platform it didn't work while as soon as I tried with ATMEL one it worked immediately.
Then, few days after this post, I was contacted by avrvi techical guy that asked me how I solved the problem and I sent him all I found.
Best regards,

It seems that AVRVi is a clone of the original clone ? Huh ? I installed on it the firmware from mcuzone.com, and it seems it has anticlone protection, and now my AVRVi clone does not work. Probably the bootloader has been erased. It has a connector on the board, 2x5. Does anybody know what is the pinout and has the bootloader for writing it again with another programmer ?
For reference, read: http://www.mcuzone.com/clonefight/ |

| My guess would be that the pinout is either JTAG or 10-pin ISP. Just wire it 1-to-1 to a STK600 or similar board. |

| I issue a warning to people that have bought their ICE mkII programmers from AVRVi: do not upgrade firmware to the one on mcuzone.com. It has implemented anti-clone protection, and they claim that AVRVi is a clone of their product, and will make your programmer unusable. Send an email to avrvi@hotmail.com and ask for latest updates. |

I would say the JTAGICE mkII-CN designed and sold by mcuzone is the reverse engineering of the original JTAGICE mkII, instead of cloning, given the fact that mcuzone has its own design of the circuit board and firmware.
AVRVI simply stolen the bootloader and the circuit design and made their clone. And, they rely on the regular firmware upgrade from mcuzone (AVRVI has bought several JTAGICE mkII-CN from mcuzone and pretended to be customer...  ). Don't expect AVRVI will give proper support. I bought ATMEGA128 demo board from AVRVI, and the onboard JTAGICE also malfunctioned probably due to lacking of voltage level conversion.
To ensure you have good quality product, I would suggest stop buying stuff from AVRVI. They are already well known infamous on many chinese electronics forum. |

Ok, but the question is: how do we recover the programmers ? Reading back the firmware produces 00's and 80's, so I guess this means it is read protected. Is anyone who has the bootloader in hex format ? Or, is anyone who knows how to extract MonCoM_S_OCDS.a90 and MonCoM_M_OCDS.a90 from the jtagicemkii.dat file ?
PS: I received reply from AVRVi, offering to repair my programmer, if I send it to him.
PPS: vr2whf, do you have any connection with mcuzone ? If so, can you tell us if there is a simple means of restoring our programmers ? |

I am the customer of both mcuzone and AVRVI. If the device's bootloader is corrupted, the only way to restore is to burn the bootloader again. Obviously, the bootloader is the trade secret and not available in public domain.
The best way to deal with your situation is to ship this back to AVRVI for repairing. I guess what they will do is to re-burn the stolen bootloader and then the firmware. I don't know how AVRVI will deal with the anti-theft firmware design imposed by originator mcuzone...Maybe AVRVI able to crack the firmware from mcuzone so making it working equally fine with the AVRVI stolen version. Otherwise, you probably may need to stay on the older firmware version without the anti-theft feature but only supporting older AVRStudio version.

Note that,the SN start with "00A0004" is a product from www.mcuzone.com
AVRVi bought several mkII-CN samples for crack use,and then resale the samples to their customers.and several months later(at the end of 2008),AVRVi start sale their piracy mkII-CN(named mkII Pro in CHINA),do as following you will find the evidence:
open the "JTAGICEmkII" folder(default path:C:\Program Files\Atmel\AVR Tools\JTAGICEmkII),then run the firmware upgrade software from AVRVi,please pay attention to the "jtagicemkii.dat" file,when the "jtagicemkii.dat" changed,please open the "jtagicemkii.dat" file use a editor,like "ultra editor" or something like,you will find the copyright information in the "jtagicemkii.dat" file(in the middle of the file): "JTAGICEmkII CN,upgrade firmware copyright(c) www.mcuzone.com"
more information please refer to: www.mcuzone.com/clonefight
Mcuzone's suggestion:
Do not buy piracy mkII-CN(mkII Pro) from AVRVi,we have added anti-clone function.
and anyone who have bought mkII-CN(mkII Pro) from AVRVi can contact AVRVi to get their money back.
In CHINA,if you bought a piracy product,you can want your money back and ask for the same money for compensation.it's protected by CHINA law.
BTW1:
Anyone see this content can buy mkII-CN from mcuzone at the price of 70USD.
MSN: hdapple_2000@hotmail.com
BTW2:
AVRVi is founded by several teachers and students of Shandong University(school of Physics Shandong University).the ID "guofang" is from AVRVi. |

Something is strange here, because I have a mkII bought from AVRVi, and on the PCB it's written www.mcuzone.com. Why would someone who is pirating your products, put your website on the PCB ?
My theory is that at the beginning you collaborated, but then for some reason, you split. Is it like that ? |

To lucicop:
As I said before,
AVRVi bought several mkII-CN samples from us,and pretend to be our agent,but unfortunately they bought the mkII-CN for crack use,and after then they resale the samples to their customers.
I think there are more people bought mkII pro made by AVRVi and used the same firmware from Mcuzone which can not upgrade firmware.
Mr lucicop,you can ask you money double back for this reason.
more information please refer to: www.mcuzone.com/clonefight |

| You can Jtgaice-mkii force upgrade after upgraded from any other firmware !!! First, You just connect together txd pin and rxd pin of RS232 connector. 2nd, turn on Jtagice-mkii power. 3rd, you can manual upgrade as Jtagice-mkii upgrade from top down menu of AVR-Studio. This way is able to upgrade all most kind of Jtagice-mkii devices when already you have fail or errors. Have good luck !!! |

hi leeky,sorry to tell you that,this mkII is not cloned from original,the "vmedia@insinet.it" 's mkII is cloned from Mcuzone mkII-CN,mkII-CN is not a clone version mkII,this is a redesign version,we used the totally different hardware,so the solution you provide is not work on this mkII.
mkII-CN is looking for world wide local agent. |

| AVRVI has two kind of mkII products. The "CN" version runs with own software available at AVRVI. The "clone" product works very fine with original atmel firmware. |

Yes, Diddl's word right.
AVRVI has two kind of mkii products.
We can receive upgrade dat file for jtagice-mkii-CN from AVRVI with force upgrade method.
Please contact to <AVRVI> jarrykwok@hotmail.com |

sorry, but I'm quite new to this ...
Which clone supports all of the 4 modes like ATMEL does:
JTAG, SPI, PDI, debugWIRE
AND can be updated with ATMELs firmware ???
What about http://www.sureelectronics.net/goods.php?id=931
Please have at look at ATMEL support page:
Quote:
Regarding PDI support:
http://support.atmel.no/knowledgebase/a ... erface.htm
Note: Not all JTAGICE mkII units have PDI capabilities. To check whether your JTAGICE mkII is PDI capable, look for the following:
Serial number on underside starts with B0...
Green LED lights inside the encapsulation when a USB connection is made
If your unit does not exhibit these characteristics, then PDI programming and debugging is not possible using this hardware.

The latest JTAGICE mkII have a serial number that starts with 70..., those also work AFAIK.
If you are worried about device support, get an AVR Dragon, it supports all programming modes and device to my knowledge. |

I bought a JTAGICE MKII-CN from MCUZone (through DealExcel) some month ago, but it is looks like faulty.
I tried to connect the JTAGICE MKII-CN to my laptop (after installed AVR Studio 4.18 +
SP3), but the operating system (Windows XP SP3) says that it can not
identify the device (USB Device Not Recognized. One of the USB devices
attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows not recognize
it) and not tries to install any driver. The red led lights and the blue
blinks about 1s cycle.
I tried it also on a desktop machine with fresh Windows XP SP3 install,
but got the same result.
I found the USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\5&26E7C7E1&0&1 device id in the
prefences of the unknown device.
I tried to catch the USB communication and found that the returned Device descriptor
contains only zeros and the "Enumeration of device failed".
So I think thet this device is faulty.
I tried to contact with MCUZone and with DealExcel via e-mail and msn but with no success.
So. My question is. Is this problem related to firmware or (for example) the USB chip? Can i write a firmware from avrvi to this device? Or has anyone a working firmware from MCUZone?
Kind regards, |

If you want to upgrade after upgrade fail from other firmware.dat file for JTAGICE-mkII-clone (not CM product), You have to connect 3 to 9 in 10 pin ribbone connector before turn on power switch.
And you can firmware upgrade from included firmware(as dat file) folder in your AVR studio folder. This way is a force firmware upgarding way. Have good luck to you. |
