Good afternoon. This is sasi, I am using atmel sudio 6.2 and i am new to this. In this while doing "Device Progamming", I selected Tool:stk500, Device:Atmega128, Interface:ISP then appy. now i got an error "unable to connect tool stk500(com 21)".

Then i tried to do auto firmware upgrade, in this i got "error:no programmer "

so, Then i tried to do manual firmware upgrade

link is:

http://support.atmel.no/knowledg...

But in this i dont know where the "PROGRAM" button. Please help me to find out the "PROGRAM" button and upgrade it.

Most up to date documentation: http://www.atmel.com/webdoc/stk5...

However, I would guess that you either have selected the wrong com port, connected the wrong com port on the stk500 (there's 2, only 1 works) or you are using a usb<->serial dongle that messes up the signalling (most typically a found with older Prolific converters).

where is that "PROGRAM" button.

Near the 10 pin ISP header and the RS232 spare connector on the STK500.

Sasi,

I think the problem is that your programmer is NOT an STK500.

It may emulate the functionality of the genuine STK500, but it is not being recognised by the updating software.

Cheers,

Sasi.

The original Atmel STK500 device (pictured) is not the same as your tiny clone. When the Atmel software is trying to update the software inside the STK500 it looks for things that tell it that it is really talking to the genuine STK500 and not a clone. Yours is a clone so it will not "answer the questions" being asked by the update validation software.

Is that clear now?

Cheers,

Ross

Not that I am aware. But perhaps, some one else may know.

If you own a clone, never answer yes to "STK500 upgrade" request.

In fact, if you ever get a "needs upgrade" message, it means that your clone is crap.

Simply accept that your device will not 'work' with this software.

Most non-Atmel software will probably still work ok. i.e. not give 'Upgrade' messages.

AFIK, the genuine Atmel STK500 has had the same firmware since about 2007.

So any Indian manufacturer that does not "clone" accurately requires asking the Indian company.

They did not even make it look like the genuine Atmel STK500 !

David.
