  • Page 14: Driver Installation For Avr Studio In Windows

    4.1.1 Driver installation for AVR Studio in Windows Using AVR Studio 4 and 5 with AVR-ISP-MK2 is possible, but not recommended. Consider that the last release of AVR Studio 4 (v4.19) was released in September 2011. For comparison, Windows 8 was released October 26, 2012.

    3. You should now have some entry for it in “Windows Device Manager”. If you can't identify the entry unplug and re-plug the AVR-ISP-MK2 until you are sure. It might be good idea to uninstall any drivers related to the tool, but in most cases if you do everything correctly this shouldn't matter.

    It is impossible to use the AVR-ISP-MK2 simultaneously with AVRDUDE and AVR Studio. It would depend on you which one you prefer. You need to change the firmware of AVR-ISP-MK2 (using Atmel Flip or dfu-programmer software) AND the Windows drivers every time you switch between Arduino and AVR Studio (or vice versa).

Click “Run” and after it completes, unplug and plug again AVR-ISP-MK2 from the USB. 7. Uninstall any previous drivers (selecting delete option) from device manager and scan for hardware changes or plug/unplug again.

    In case you encounter erros consider the AVRDUDE bug mentioned at the end of the previous sub- chapter. Try using Arduino IDE version 1.5.7 or earlier. Special mention for Olimex boards – sometimes the board refuses to reset before programming when using Arduino. Try holding the reset button and release it simultaneously while clicking “Upload Using Programmer”.

    AVR-ISP-MK2 via USB and “Atmel Flip”. It is stored on the main microcontroller inside AVR-ISP-MK2. In rare cases it is possible to corrupt this software bootloader and, thus, make it impossible to change the firmware inside using only USB and “Atmel Flip”. In such cases you would need to re-upload it with the help of a third-party programmer.
