Re: [avr-chat] avrdude fails to write STK500 & AT90S8515

[Blake Leverett]

Have you tried avarice?  I've had better luck with that under Linux.  It can 
program chips and it can interface to GDB for debugging.

Here is the command line I use:

avarice -j /dev/ttyS0 -2 -P atmega1281 :4242 --erase -f project.elf

To just program the chip, leave out the :4242 option.

Make sure you use stabs format for debugging, not dwarf-2.
