I have just recently built a new PC. My old Laptop was slow. AS7 would take forever to load but for the most part was pretty stable. My new PC is a beast and should be able to handle AS7 with no issues (Specs below). When ever AS7 loads I get the "Atmel Studio is Busy" message. 

AS7 Busy

This never happened on my slow Laptop (windows 10 home). If I click "Wait 1 more minute", AS7 eventually loads. Now I am able to program and build with no issues. However when I try to connect to my Atmel Ice, I get the same message, but this time is just hangs. I get notifications from windows too:

AS7 Hangs

Here are my system specs:

 

Atmel Studio 7 (Version: 7.0.1006 - )

 

OS Name    Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise
Version    10.0.14393 Build 14393
]System Type    x64-based PC
Processor    Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHz, 3501 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
Installed Physical Memory (RAM)    16.0 GB
Total Physical Memory    15.9 GB
Available Physical Memory    11.8 GB
Total Virtual Memory    18.8 GB
Available Virtual Memory    13.9 GB
 

I have tried reinstalling/repairing AS7 twice. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

This topic has a solution.

Only a guess.

Version    10.0.14393 Build 14393

That's Windows 10 version 1607 (Anniversary Update); that's not (yet) on Current Branch for Business (CBB).

Windows 10 Enterprise allows access to CBB.

1607 had (past tense?) USB issues.

1511 is recommended.

This never happened on my slow Laptop (windows 10 home).

What's the Windows 10 version on that PC?

iow, what from a 'winver' on that PC?

AS7 is giving you the bird?

 

Maybe a Moderator should ban AS7 from the site for giving you the bird.  This is unacceptable.

 

FWIW I have AS7 running on Win7 without a problem, The Win 10 took a while, but it's working....as of two months ago

I have most recent version of AS7 running on a recent model HP laptop with Win10. Just before the most recent update (4-5 days ago) it ran just fine., Have not checked since the Win update that came in the last day or two.

Can you check? I suspect there is a driver issue.

For what it's worth. I uninstalled windows 10 Enterprise and installed the Home edition. So far I haven't experienced any issues. Hopefully this is resolved.

An assumption is same version and build.

 

Windows 10 Enterprise has a hypervisor between the OS and the CPU if any of Credential Guard, Device Guard, or Hyper-V is enabled.

Vagrant by HashiCorp

Hyper-V Provider

I spoke too soon. The problem still exists. I submitted the issue to Atmel and will post any findings.

I used to get that with an older version of AS7 but then it was fixed, maybe re introduced in 1006??

 

Anyway we all expect too much after all

It pretty much renders AS7 inoperable (for me). All though AS7 is free, the hardware is not. I expect it to at least work.

Try Windows 10 version 1511 with Atmel Studio 7.0 build 1006.

If you want to ... unless fed up.

Let me see what Atmel comes back with. I sent over a s**T ton of log files. They have been very responsive, so I am willing to wait it out. As mentioned, my laptop works fine, so I might be using that. Just slow as hell.

My last two assignments went so smoothly... principally because there wasn't a single microcontroller or line of code in either of them. Yeah! Just circuit design in Eagle and layout pcb, prototype and test, buy in more parts, assemble, test and despatch 50+ units.... oh and accept payment. The hardest part was tolerating lead free solder... but the Swedes hate leaded solder so what the client wants the client gets.

I am glad I am not alone. I would suggest that you put in a bug with Atmel. You should do this because the more data they receive on the issue, the more likely they can resolve this problem. I say this as a full time developer. When there is more that one person experiencing the problem, there is likely a common denominator.

 

On that note, can you provide your system specs in detail? Also, did you build the PC yourself?

 

Thanks

 

Phil

Nice - more than adequate to run AS7. I have an ASUS Gaming/Aura. I thought it might be the mother board. but now I think its the drivers.

Just when I thought I couldn't get worse....

 

This morning my PC updated Windows (Version 1607 Build 14393.222). I also updated AS7 to Version 7.0.1188 in hopes it would fix my issue. Now, Windows does not recognize the Atmel ICE. Also, if I connect my SAMD21 xplained pro, windows sees the EDBG Com, but AS7 does not. (See attached screenshot).

 

 

 

I have tried rebooting several times. Windows no longer sees the ATMEL ICE and AS7 doesn't see any programmer. I will try my dragon and STK500 and report back.

Ahhh an there is more! I decided to reinstall AS7.

 

I get this error:

 

 

I fire up AS7 and all seems ok. I connect to my ICE and it wants to do a firmware update, so I let it.

 

Now I can see the device and program, but I get the hanging error.

 

I am loosing this battle....

I am running Win10 on my CoreDuo machine and I have AS7 on it and I have not had any problems as of yet.

 

BUT,

 

I just elected to update my AS7 install and while AS7 was doing it's thing my Antivirus software kicked up a fuss about a 'virus file' that was downloaded.  It deleted the file, but I do not know what it was for in AS7.  Once the install is done I will see what happens.

 

Why am I telling you this?

I am wondering if some users that are having issues with AS7 have anti-virus programs running with 'Auto clean/delete' turned on.  Since AS7 is built on Visual studio I wonder if some of the AS7 components look like virus packages and the Antivirus software is kicking in and deleting the files rendering AS7 useless...Well MORE useless than usual.

Could be. I am only running Windows Defenders. I still have the issue with it disabled. 

 

Now that you mention Visual Studio, I have VS 2015 installed along side AS7...maybe VS 2015 is corrupting AS7?

There's a post where "someone" created a work-around of Visual Studio on a guest Windows via VM and Atmel Studio on the host Windows; I don't have that post handy and my search here was no joy (I'm considering letting that stew in my mind).

Was Defender disabled during the AS7 install?  If not, I would wipe out all of AS7 and Visual Studio, disable Defender, and try the install over.

No, it wasnt. I can try to reinstall with it disabled.

Mystery solved! The mystery has been solved with the help of Atmel support. After installing a revised atbackend.exe to provide better logging, it turns out that the atbackend.exe was confusing my $165 keyboard with the Atmel Ice Programer and/or EDBG.

Yes, my keyboard was $165. Its a mechanical, programmable keyboard. I suspect there is an atmel chip under-the-hood. Now, I am waiting to see if there is a fix. Until then, I must use a standard keyboard (boooo!)

 

I will say that Atmel support is awesome.

Would each (programmable keyboard, Atmel-ICE) on separate USB host controllers work?

IIRC, a PC has two or more USB host controllers; more if a mix of USB2 and USB3.

Just wondering, what is the USB VID/PID of the keyboard?

I would think that Corsair would have their own, or does this keyboard have  the same VID/PID as the Atmel Ice Programer and EDBG?

(Just trying to better understand the confusion atbackend.exe was having with the keyboard.)

Atmel support just asked me to check. I will let you know when I get time test (later tonight)

Jim, see above (USB VID/PID conflict). I am betting that might be the issue.

 

My mother board has at least 2 or 3 USB host (I think) and I will need to check.

OMG, this absolutely was my issue.  I sat dumbfounded as I simply unplugged my corsair keyboard (just like his) and everything magically worked. After EFR#$R!@#RWFASf!!!! all time uninstalling, reinstalling and restarting repeatedly. I don't care this is years old.  Thank you for posting this! You saved me.

Wow! Finally I found out why I've been having connectivity issues between AS7 & Atmel-ICE constantly on my desktop but didn't seem to have any with my laptop. As soon as I unplugged my Cosair K70 RGB Keyboard it started working like a charm. Thank you for posting this! I must of uninstalled and reinstalled AS7 atleast 8 times. Does anyone know if theres a workaround so I can keep using my keyboard? (pretty hard to program without one not to mention it was an expensive keyboard) or am I out of luck? Thanks once again!

I tried using all the different combinations of USB ports (6 in the back 2 in the front) including using the ones in the front of the case which plug into header pins on the motherboard so they should be independent. At least I think.

I don't have a USB hub but I'll look for one at the store and see if that works.

Well no, it just happens to be the keyboard I have. I was hoping there might have been a workaround discovered but if not I'll just buy another keyboard oh well. frown

Either way, thanks for help!

I have the exact same Corsair keyboard and have the exact same issue. My programmer is connected to a USB hub then connect to a USB port on the front panel. My keyboard is connected to the back penal, and only one of the USB port down the back work.

Wow, Can't believe this was the issue for me. Have been struggling with this for over a year and have another post here. Thank you so much!!!! Since this is an older post, I'm going to contact Microchip to see if they have a solution since this was originally posted.

Thanks for saving me hours of frustration (as i type this on my K70).  Any word on a potential fix for this problem, or am I stuck swapping keyboards?

USB VID/PID appear correct; IIRC, can confirm via Windows Device Manager (USB HID may be low-speed USB therefore a logic analyzer and USB protocol analyzer)

Is there a loader for Corsair K70?  (K70's MCU has a bootloader?)

If yes, are there updates of Corsair K70 firmware?

Am assuming there was a simple defect wrt USB VID/PID in early Corsair K70.
