Hi,
I had a code (in Atmel Studio) in which I took average of ADC readings and displayed them on 9 LED digits. To make the micro controller faster, I changed the fuse bits to internal 8mhz internal oscillator and it seems to be working because I can see the LEDs update much faster (the sampling and averaging took well over a second @ 1Mhz), but I can't seem to program the microcontroller anymore. I get the error
avrdude: warning: cannot set sck period. please check for usbasp firmware update.
avrdude: error: programm enable: target doesn't answer. 1
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.
avrdude done. Thank you.
The external tool I'm using in Atmel Studio is
avrdude -c usbasp -p atmega32 -U flash:w:$(ProjectDir)Debug\$(TargetName).hex:i -U lfuse:w:0xe4:m -U hfuse:w:0xd9:m
The fuse bits I changed to are low - E4, high - D9 taken from https://www.engbedded.com/fuseca... (I have JTAG disabled because I need to use PORTC). I'm using USBASP for programming.
Things I've tried:
1) Using -B parameter from 1 to 10.
2) Reading the unbrick AVR tutorial (I'm pretty sure that tutorial was not for my case but I didn't have much to lose). I supplied a high frequency wave from Arduino to XTAL1. I don't know the frequency of that wave but I basically used my Arduino Uno to turn on and off a digital pin.
int unbrick_pin = 3;
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
pinMode(unbrick_pin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
digitalWrite(unbrick_pin, HIGH);
digitalWrite(unbrick_pin, LOW);
}and then connected it to XTAL1.
3) Using the -b baud rate parameter at various serial frequencies.
4) Using my Arduino Uno as ISP instead of usbasp.
It's really weird because the microcontroller is working perfectly but I just can't use avrdude to reprogram it.
Some more details :
1) Using windows 10, WinAVR
2) I get the following error when I use -v

avrdude done. Thank you.I just realized that I might be using outdated version of AVR as I paste this verbose output, since it says 2010. I'll try to update and see but I doubt that's the case.
I get the following error when I use -F
