Location of Programmer arguments

Hi, I'm trying to program a board with a slightly different version of AVtMega than normally supported. The internal programming option says that I should pass in a -F flag to avrdude, however can't find where any additional arguments are added in AvrStudio.

Hi,

I doubt that it will be an atmel property. To answer the question correctly I need to understand if you are referring to standard Arduino usb bootloader upload or a hardware programmer? If a hardware programmer then which one?

Thanks

Hi,

Using AVR Studio 6.2 with AVRISPMkII. Fails to upload bootloader or using 'Upload using Programmer' as the signature doesn't match. Text prompts to use '-F' option with avrdude to force programming.

Okay great 

There are two AVRISP programmers in the Visual Micro programmers list in atmel studio. 

The AVRISP MKII and "Atmel Studio AVRISP MKII". Depending on installed usb drivers only one of the options might work but it is important to say which you are using?

Thanks

Hi, I just selected AVRISP MkII on the tools -> Visual Micro -> Programmers section., hadn't even noticed the Atmel Studio ....' version. 
If I select Tools -> Device Programming, i only get the option of AVRISP MkII or simulator - and it's the AVRISP Mk II that I normally select for non-Arduino development.

Okay the device programming only has effect if you also use the same window for upload so can be ignored.

Because you are using the older version of Visual Micro in AS6.2 you only have one option but it's easy enough.

You haven't said which Arduino ide version you are using so this assumes 1.5+

In [arduinoide]\hardware\arduino\avr is a file called programmers.txt. You can edit with any text editor

See the AVRISP MKII entry as follows:-

Code
Select All
avrispmkii.name=AVRISP mkII
avrispmkii.communication=usb
avrispmkii.protocol=stk500v2
avrispmkii.program.protocol=stk500v2
avrispmkii.program.tool=avrdude
avrispmkii.program.extra_params=-Pusb


You can add a new entry by duplicating and changing the root id to something else, I just added _F to the end of the id.  Then changed the name slightly and added -F option

Code
Select All
avrispmkii_F.name=AVRISP mkII with -F
avrispmkii_F.communication=usb
avrispmkii_F.protocol=stk500v2
avrispmkii_F.program.protocol=stk500v2
avrispmkii_F.program.tool=avrdude
avrispmkii_F.program.extra_params=-Pusb  -F


After making changes to platform.txt click "tools>visual micro>reload toolchains" or restart the IDE

You will see the new programmer in the Visual Micro programmers list
