I'm using an ATmega88 and I was able to switch to debugWire to debug my code with Studio 7.

Now I'd like to switch it back to SPI to use the Device programming interface, but I can't re-enable it.

I remember that in Studio 4 there was a button (or maybe a menu) I had to press to let the software do that for me, but I'm unable to find the same function on Studio 7.

From the Atmel help I found this: http://www.atmel.com/webdoc/atme... but I can't find the disable debugWIRE command in my menu.

 

Any help?

Start debugging.

In the Debug Tab under the "Start Without Debugging" there should be "Disable debugWire and Close"

Go to Tools->Select Profile and apply the advanced profile. It should then reappear.

 

Alternatively, update to 7.0.943 and reset the Standard profile as written in the 7.0.943 release note.

Using Studio 6 (ver: 6.2.1563-Service Pack2)

Can debug just fine but cannot read device signature and cannot program program.

Tried selecting ISP, Release and other things.

I used to be able to program on a previous project (same micro), but now I can't anymore.

Error Message I get:

Unable to enter programming mode. Pleas verify device selection, interface settings, target power and connections to the target.

Target voltage measures 3.0V

That's very old, and Studio 6 was known to be buggy.

 

What debug probe are you using; eg, Atmel-ICE ?

 

Can debug just fine but cannot read device signature and cannot program program.

That doesn't make sense - it won't enter debug without reading the device signature.

 

Are you trying to read device signature and program via ISP ?

 

You need to exit debugWIRE mode before you can use ISP again. You do that by starting a debug session, then there's an option to exit & switch to ISP - pay attention to the instructions about when to power-cycle.

  1. How to properly post source code - see: https://www.avrfreaks.net/comment... - also how to properly include images/pictures
  2. "Garbage" characters on a serial terminal are (almost?) invariably due to wrong baud rate - see: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/serial-communication
  3. Wrong baud rate is usually due to not running at the speed you thought; check by blinking a LED to see if you get the speed you expected

Thanks, that helped. I did get it working. It just wasn't obvious. All ok now. Thank you.
