Hey all,
I keep having this problem when trying to compile and download my code to the avr.
I am using an avr dragon and a at90usb1287. winavr and avr studio.
When i click build and download, all goes well, it builds and downloads to the device, just as the progress bar is about to finish, it asks me "Please browse to the present location for files opriginally found at c:\avrdev\gcc\gcc-4.3.3\gcc\
I click cancel because that location has never existed (not in the version of winavr i have). It then proceeds to run and debug in disambler view rather than the C code itself.
Any tips?
I also have a problem that every 2-3 uses of build and run, the avr dragon can no longer talk to avr studio. The only solution is to log off my computer and log back on. Seems like a software glitch.
Cheers
ANy suggestions helpful! |

Hi, priscared,
I just had the same problem: WINAVR Version 20100110,
avrdude v5.19 compiled on Jan 19 2010.
-> New version, old error.
Here the problem is talked about too:
http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name ... highlight=
For Windows-users:
Starting the debugger, it asks me for some path "please browse to present location..." that doesn't exist on my machine. But not telling me what exactly it searches there :-/
I read the whole thread in the link above until i found that
Quote:
for #a in (*.a) do avr-strip -g #a
This is a linux-shell command i assume, for i don't know this as a windows... erm.. DOS command.
But it explained the cause of the problem ,-)
Searched for the respective files containing the string"c:\avrdev\" in my WINAVR dir.
Found ~50 files responsible for ~5 controller families.. jeez.
Unable to use the mentioned linux shell cmd, editing all by hand didn't seem a good idea to me.
So when invoking the debugger (with avrdragon vs AT90USB1287) and again being asked "browse to present location" i told WINAVR the correct path this time.
I sent it to the root path of the respective subpaths where the explorer found the matching *.a files. On my machine:
F:\Programme\WinAVR\lib\gcc\avr\4.3.3
And it worked!
Even remembers it after a restart of AVRStudio 4.18.
This also clears the mentioned warnings when recompiling the project.
Thanks to all the cracks in here leading me on the right way to the solution!
Back to my new dragon ... |

| I've just run into this problem. Tried the new AVR toolchain and AVRstudio SP3 from Atmels website and I still get it. It just comes up with a different missing directory location |

| Then "avr-strip -g" all the .a's and .o's in the avr/lib/* tree. |

That did fix it, but can't someone do that and re-release the package?
The winavr20100110 package on sourceforge, released on the 20th of jan and supposed to be fixed still has the debug in. |

I pointed it out to Eric after the release on the 10th and he said it was down to trying to make a script for both AVR8 and AVR32 which then failed to apply the avr-strip to either set of libs. He thought he'd corrected this in the set of files built on the 19th and released on the 20th but it turned out later that he hadn't caught all the affected files. When I pointed this out he said so few people were affected that he wouldn't be rebuilding/re-releasing WinAV20100110 a third time.
It is a bit of a shame if history has now repeated itself in this "AVR Toolchain". Personally I'd give it a few months for the beta testing to complete before downloading/using it if I were you. |

Jeez, one year has gone, forgot about it.
Now i've installed the current Atmel toolchain instead of WINAVR and just ran into the same issue :-/
Hei, 'Hudson'@Atmel, it's the path on your machine, the debugger says he cant find on mine: "F:\home\hudson\....".. sth. like that
Could you please take some time and mend this once in a while?
Or is there already a newer version of the toolchain upcoming?
And, Clawson, could you please tell some more word about the handling of avr-strip on a Windows machine:
Quote:
Then "avr-strip -g" all the .a's and .o's in the avr/lib/* tree.
- Do it in every respective dir, or is there some 'descend in subdirs' option?
- How to define the *.o and *.a-mask for avr-strip?
Thank you all! |
