Subject: [avrdude-dev] avrdude or PC going berzerk after a longer while?


Hello folks,


I noticed a very strange phenomenon a couple of days ago: I am manically
busy on
an embedded project of mine, and have been leaving the workstation on during
the night, and sometimes during the whole day when I just wasn't
concentrated
enough to be creative.

So, after a longer while of inactivity, I do some coding, debug a bit and
see
that the emulator OKs my code, and proceed to avrdude it into the mcu. To my
surprise, the device doesn't work. So I now take a more careful look at
what avrdude  is saying, and it gives me an error message about verification
failure at the first byte. For what is worth: I program the EEPROM and the
Flash RAM.

I use the non-native avrdude port for win32 (the one that needs the cygwin
dll).

So, what I did was, I rebooted the PC, and after that avrdude programmed OK.

I have disabled power management on that PC, except for display poweroff
after 10 minutes.

I do not run from the possibility that my PC is somehow defective, but I
doubt
that. But I have to admit, I have no clue what's going on and wonder if
anyone got anything such as this, happening to him.


thanks and see you later.
