 I have a JTAGICE MKII programmer that shows up in the list of programmers in Atmel Studio 7 (latest version today). I select JTAG and click apply and it seems to be okay at that point, but when I click on the button to read the device ID, I get the error "JTAGID not valid. Debugger command enterProgMode failed." Here is the kicker though, there is no problem programming the board (has an ATMEGA1280) on my co-worker's computer. I did a fresh install on a 3rd computer in the lab, and it too fails to read the device ID. I am using the exact same board, same usb cable, same programmer, and I have not even moved the programmer's connection to the JTAG connector on the board.... so it is not a cable issue, or a board issue, power issue, or a 'plugging in the JTAG connected the wrong way issue'.

 

. I did not mess around with fuse settings at all, so they should be correct considering it is able to be programmed on that one magical (co-worker's) computer.

 

I have even tried installing the same exact version of Atmel studio 7.0.1417 as the computer that is able to program, using the same install exe file that my co-worker used! 

I even have the same model computer as the computer that is able to program, and we are both running windows 10. Same USB cable is being used. I am using the same power supply brick to the power the board that contains the atmega1280.

 

I tried two other computers, and they too have the same problem programming  (No copies of atmel were on those computers so there is no version conflict to speak of).

 

I haven't used Atmel Studio in the past much, but I am NOT impressed.

IIRC, AVRSV-8001 was due to either a USB reset signal and/or USB timing issue.

The build of Windows 10 that's on a PC depends on PC :

  • make
  • model
  • generation
  • serial number (sometimes)

winver for Windows 10 build (version number, period, build number)

Some Windows 10 builds have made Atmel Studio non-functional.

WinUSB is less likely to cause issues than in early versions of Windows 10.​​​​​​​

Still struggling 3 days later.  Good thing this is not project related, or I would be FIRED by now.

 

Here is the version of windows 10, if it matters.

 

I see a lot of conflicting information about the JungoConnectivity driver.  I read somewhere that version 11 is for Studio6 while version 12 is for Studio7.   My device manager shows Jungo as being version 11.5 BUT, my co-worker who is using Version 7 and whose programming is able to WORK is also using version 11.5 of Jungo.

 

I REMOVED Jungo, and then used the 'REPAIR' option when you try to uninstall Studio7.   During repair I could see it was re-installing some USB drivers, and at the end I now no longer have JUNGO, but a separate group called ATMEL with my JTAGICE programmer in that group.  GUESS WHAT?  Still cannot read a device, nor erase a chip!

Since my AVR programming pod is called a JTAG ICE, I naturally thought you set the Device programming window's Interface selection to 'JTAG'.   I demonstrated this to my much more experienced co-worker at least 3 times and he did not pick up on the fact that the I had selected JTAG.   Changed it to "ISP", and BANG... IT WORKED.

But if your chip has JTAG ( ATMEGA1280 )  then JTAG programming as well as debugging should work from the JTAG header. Are you saying that you plugged the ISP connector in and tried to use JTAG for programming?
