If you are upgrading to AS7 with Jungo V12 some of the tools may no longer be working with older versions of Studio.

As this is coming up often we'll make it a sticky. (Updated link 24/12/2017)

I tried the procedure described at http://atmel.force.com/support/a... but still cannot get my new Windows 10 machine to recognize the AVR Dragon connected to it. The driver version I'm trying to use is

AVR Dragon Version: 10.1.1.0[2009-09-02] and I have both Studio 6.0 and Studio 7 installed. I've installed Studio 7 twice to see if that would help but there was no change.

When using Studio 6 I get a message saying that avrdb.exe is blocked by virus protection and this warning shows up.

12:17:20: [WARNING] The avrdbg process exited with code 0

I would appreciate any suggestions that would allow me to connect to the Dragon.

Thank you

YOu MUST install Studio 6_2 first, THEN install Studio 7. I ran into a similar problem, but not with a dragon.

You will still need to shift gears on teh drivers occasionally though

I deleted Studio 6.0 and Studio 7 from my computer and then installed Studio 6.2. Studio 6.2 recognized my Dragon without any problem. It also indicated that the Dragon's internal software should be updated, and this was also accomplished without any problem. Finally, programming of an ATtiny13A proceeded perfectly too, so I decided to stop at this point and just continue to use Studio 6.2 since it is more than adequate for my purposes. Thank you for your help - it is very much appreciated.

I don't know what your problem is.

I think the ATMEL ICE DATA GATEWAY is a user mode driver from Atmel. It should be included with the Studio installation. It requires the Microsoft winusb.sys driver. This driver is not included with the Windows 7 installation. I think Windows 7 usually downloads and installs it automatically when needed. If not, running Windows Update while the ICE is plugged in should do it.

Automatic installation of WinUSB without an INF file

As an OEM or independent hardware vendor (IHV), you can build your device so that the Winusb.sys gets installed automatically on Windows 8 and later versions of the operating system. Such a device is called a WinUSB device and does not require you to write a custom INF file that references in-box Winusb.inf.

When you connect a WinUSB device, the system reads device information and loads Winusb.sys automatically.

Installing WinUSB by specifying the system-provided device class

When you connect your device, you might notice that Windows loads Winusb.sys automatically (if the IHV has defined the device as a WinUSB Device). Otherwise follow these instructions to load the driver:

USB is very confusing. I have been using winusb with WCID for a couple of years. Win7 downloaded the driver automatically for me. So when I plugged in my shiny new Atmel-ICE, it took off running. I don't know what the situation would be if winusb isn't present when you plug in the Atmel-ICE.

I don't know what elpablito's problem is anyway. I hadn't heard of a fingerprint sensor.

He should have Atmel's driver installed. Maybe he needs AS6.2 or AS7.

This is where it's apparently located on my 6.2.

Thanks for the INF location.

Though apples and oranges (iow WinUSB and Jungo) the Atmel Studio operators manual states after loading the INF that the device should appear; if not then a restart of Windows (or maybe a restart of Atmel Studio?)

The tools should be working straight away, but you may have to restart your machine if you are still having problems.

A possibility is their copy of Windows is inconsistent such that it's unable to auto install Winusb.sys

It's common that a copy of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 has a subset of the total set of Windows updates.

Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 went cumulative updates in early Oct 2016 iff the Windows operator did so.

There are valid reasons for a copy of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 not being complete on updates :

if it's a production or critical PC then it's minimal updates (i.e. if it ain't broke don't fix it)
not in the Consumer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) by not installing certain updates
Windows 7 end of feature updates was 2015-Jan-01; may only have security updates after that

Files critical to restart Windows that do not match the expected Windows version may be replaced with the correct versions. If a file is repaired, the corresponding registry data is also repaired. Protected files not critical to restart Windows are not repaired.

I found an old Win7 installation I haven't used for years. It did not have Atmel Studio installed. It did not have winusb.sys in Windows/System32/Drivers.

I installed Studio 6.2.1502.

I plugged in my Atmel-ICE. Voila! It now has winusb.sys. Atmel-ICE works.

It probably had all Windows updates until 4/4/2014. Nothing since.

I should have checked to see if the Studio installation put winusb.sys there, but I didn't. I don't know where it came from. This computer has no connection to the internet but does have a connection to my other computer.
