USBprogAVR32 Programmer available!

Here is the first elease of the USBProg avr32 NGW100 programmer.
We have successfully programed flash chip on NGW100.
But the codes need further testing.

Re: USBprogAVR32 Programmer available!

I tested this firmware with my Grasshopper.
The AVR32 can be detected correctly but the flash chip, which is the same on NGW100, can't be detected because every read to it delivers another (maybe random) id.
Is there any experience about this already?

And there's a little question: In the manual for the flash chip is written that one has to sequently write 0xAA onto address 0x555 and 0x55 onto address 0xaaa in order to enter Software Product Identification Mode.
But in the flash.c the second write is done onto address 0x2aa instead of 0xaaa. Is that correct?

I also compared the schematics of the NGW100 and Grasshopper and it seemed that there are no differences concerning memory and flash connectivity.


Regards,
Marcell

Re: USBprogAVR32 Programmer available!

The way to connect the USBporog to the NGW100 ist not very obvious from the descriptions given.
Is it simply a 1/1 connection or do i need to scamble the wires?
If i need to rewire, how?

Tnx

Re: USBprogAVR32 Programmer available!

You're right; it is not clearly told.
I made it this way:

USBProg -> Grasshopper:
------------------------------

1 -> 9
2 -> 4
3 -> 6
4 -> 8
5 -> 5
6 -> nc
7 -> 1
8 -> nc
9 -> 3
10 -> 2

Re: USBprogAVR32 Programmer available!

Hi,

is the stuff shipped in usbprogAVR32_demo.tar.gz working without any bigger chances of destroying my uboot which is currently on the flash? (Don't have a JTAGiceMkII but I have to update uboot to at least 1.3 to get my SD-Card working ...)

Regards,
Chris

Re: USBprogAVR32 Programmer available!

Hi all,
I haven't understud yet if I can debug AVR32 micros on custom boards or it works only as programmer, so far...
Can I debug SW in AVR32 Studio, using step-by-step instructions and breakpoints?
thanks, J

Re: USBprogAVR32 Programmer available!

Hi,
back again... I built the programmer and succesfully downloaded the bootloader, and it works well as ISPmkII, but I couldn't get how to detect as target in AVR32 Studio. I tried both main.bin and usbprog_firmware.bin but it didn't work.
where am I wrong?

Re: USBprogAVR32 Programmer available!

sorry guys, I wasn't clear:
I mean that it works well as ISP for the 8 bits family, but when I program it as AVR32 programmer, using the firmwares as above, I can't detect it in AVR32 Studio.
cheers

Re: USBprogAVR32 Programmer available!

Hallo. I have installed the usbprogavr32, connected the ICnova AP7000 Base board to the usbprog v3.0 and entered "usbprogavr32 detect"
Then i get following messages:

USBProg AVR32 programmer

Firmware version is 1.
Detecting ...
  Target is not AVR32!

Any idea?

Re: USBprogAVR32 Programmer available!

I have USBProg and 2 x NGW100

Taken into account the doc (see http://www.embedded-projects.net/index.php?page_id=236) it is still not clear how to connect UsbProg with NGW100

In the German doc version -the autor mentionned- a signal level buffer?
Who can help me out please?

Re: USBprogAVR32 Programmer available!

hi there!

little question: how do I upload that firmware, or better, how do I load that firmware into local firmware repository?

Edit: okay, rtfm works fine.

but I got another problem:
Now, usbprogavr32 tells me that the target is not an avr32..
I already looked under my desk twince and IT IS an avr32.. (ngw100 with broken filesystem- never ever use the wrong SPI channel..)

Re: USBprogAVR32 Programmer available!

High together.
Will there be any support for the UC3xxx µC's in near future (just program the flash)?
Is there a trick, for a workaround for this message?

USBProg AVR32 programmer

found 8 busses
Firmware version is 1.
Detecting ...
  Target is not AVR32 AP7000!

Thanks and greetings,
  Lunar
