[avrdude-dev] patch to add retry code to usbtiny.c

[Dick Streefland]

Hi,

Here is a patch to make reading from the USBtinyISP programmer more
robust. The error recovery of the firmware in the programmer is very
limited, which means that avrdude bails out on the first transmission
error. A failed read request is now retried a number of times, and the
total number of retries is reported at the end. The remaining changes
are cosmetic.

This post is an example of a situation where avrdude bails out:
