AVR JTAG ICE (mki) can not program EEPROM in terminal mode #1054

mcuee · 2022-08-03T11:50:34Z

PR #1031 fixed Issue #443 (AVR JTAG ICE is unable to write fuse and lock bits). It helps EEPROM write a bit but not yet fixed the issue of EEPROM write.

Apply jtagmki patch provided in #443 #1031 (comment)

Comment from @dl8dtl

Yes, I think EEPROM should be added to these dummy reads. Without, the JTAG1 completely wedges, and the remaining AVRDUDE session is unusable (needs a reconnect). With that, it only fails to actually write to EEPROM.

@dl8dtl
Can you share your failed test case?

My JTAGICE clone (square unit) seems to be dead but luckily I just got another cheaper clone (small size like the ATmega88 based USBISP clone). I did a simple test with an JTAG enabled ATmega16A and EEPROM writing seems to be okay now, verfied using usbasp as well.

I happened to have a few spare ATmega16's laying around, so I might as well build a DIY JTAG ICE mkI programmer with it to help out with further testing.

@mcuee you don't happen to have the latest ICE mkI firmware, do you?

mcuee · 2022-08-05T07:36:08Z

@mcuee you don't happen to have the latest ICE mkI firmware, do you?

I do not have myself. But maybe @dl8dtl will have.

mcuee · 2022-08-05T07:59:44Z

@MCUdude
I think the following website should get you there. You can replace the serial connection with a USB-TTL converter.
https://scienceprog.com/build-your-own-avr-jtagice-clone/

dl8dtl · 2022-08-05T08:54:24Z

The usual way to get the firmware is that you flash the ATmega16 with an AVR109 bootloader, and then let AVR Studio 4.x upgrade the firmware. ;-) (That's the reasons why these clones used to pop up everywhere by their time. Atmel charged USD 300 for a complete device.)

@MCUdude If you're interested, I could send you a bare PCB for a clone. I had to order three of them but only need one. It includes a footprint for an FT232RL so you can directly attach it to USB. (Alas, obtaining FTDIs might be an issue these days.)

However, the PCB uses a TQFP ATmega16 – don't know which case your spare parts do have.

MCUdude · 2022-08-05T11:08:11Z

@dl8dtl Thanks for the offer! At the moment I only have ATmega16's in DIP packages. However, I might know a guy that has a spare, ATmega16 in a TQFP package. Would you like to share a picture of your board?

dl8dtl · 2022-08-05T18:05:04Z

Would you like to share a picture of your board?

Sure.

One is the Kicad rendering, the other one my real device.

dl8dtl · 2022-08-05T20:29:49Z

Can you share your failed test case?

IIRC I tried to write some bytes into EEPROM in terminal mode.

Indeed this does not work.

@dl8dtl
Your design is quite nice. I actually like your design better than my clones as it makes FW upgrade much easier with the ISP connector for the ATmega16 (I believe J4 is for ATmega16).

I am trying to revive my dead clone using AVRprog.exe from AVR Studion 3.x/4.x, but somehow it does not work (verficiation error).

My dead JTAG ICE clone (square box type) is using ATmega16A, CH340T and 74HC244. I have another working one (small USBAS{/USBISP shapre with metal housing) is using ATmega16, CH340T and 74HC245.

MCUdude · 2022-08-09T13:19:04Z

Sorry for being so late to reply. If you still have a PCB left, I'll happily take one! I got my hands on an ATmega16 in a TQFP package, so I'll be able to get it running after a bit of soldering.

mcuee · 2022-08-10T00:12:00Z

I guess my bad unit has the corrupted bootloader. AVRProg can program the flash (using the official ebn file) but verification failed. avrdude does not seem to work with it.

Actually the current documentation already mentioned the above limitation. So I change the label to enhancement.

https://avrdudes.github.io/avrdude/7.0/avrdude_39.html#Troubleshooting

Problem: Updating the flash ROM from terminal mode does not work with the JTAG ICEs.
Solution: None at this time. Currently, the JTAG ICE code cannot write to the flash ROM one byte at a time.

Edit: hmm, not correct. The above is about Flash write.

I believe this is fixed by #1106.
