yet serial com ports again

Post by efiLabs »

i'm running kubuntu 11.04 Natty and wine 1.2.2

installed avr studio 4.19 ... anything newer is a sellout to microsoft DOT.NJET

connected ftdi based usb to serial and verified connect ability with cutecom

set symlinks in HOME/.wine/dosdevices

the following serial com port tests in wine with win pgms have been made :

running br@y terminal successful ... detects com port ... note br@y terminal does work in win with on board com ports and usb com ports, but NOT with bluetooth com ports

termite, which does run in windows on on-board, usb and bluetooth com ports did not show any avail com ports ... so no connectivity

now to the avr studio 4.19 ... while many of you claim to have it running successfully under wine ... i do not

yes, it comes up, but using the serial com port based programmer (using avrdude) did NOT CONNECT.

a dialog says connection failed ... end of story....

now, this is exactly the functionality which i really need ... no i do not want to blow the wrong avr fuses again and brick more chips and have some more un / re-solder atmega328p-au qfp32 orgies.

pleas if anyone of you has it successfully avr studio 4.19 running on wine, please share your secrets in detail with me / us so that all can benefit.

yes, there were a whole bunch of talk on the web but nothing where i could follow it and succeed.

thanks and cheers, efiLabs

addendum :

sorry, i forgot some environment specs

using arduino uno board with ArduinoIsp program (sketch), which turns the arduino uno into an ftdi usb to serial com device.

now ... this arduino responded with a flashing led upon connection with br@y terminal ... couldn't do more, cause the br@y terminal is not capable to supply the required (most likely binary) avrdude commands ... it was only used to do a communications test ... now that i'm writing i realize that i also can try the commandline interface with avrdude direct to see if i can connect in wine ... in linux it works, but no gui ... that's why i wanted to use avr-studio.

after the br@y terminal to arduino connect test i repeated this with avr-studio 4.19 ... result was also a flashing led on the arduino board, which to me says that the device was addressed, sort of ... but avr-studio still said connection failure.

my question still stands ... please help

cheers, efiLabs

Your Wine version is 3 years old and no longer supported. Upgrade to the latest development release. If it doesn't work in the latest development release, post terminal output.

I am running (trying to...) AvrStudio 4.19 under Wine 1.6, 1.7.0 and Crossover 12.2.1 (Wine 1.5.15), and I get exactly the same behavior. I filed a bug report (Bug34227) a few days ago.

The problem is not com port related, AvrStudio detects the STK500, and it can update the programmer's firmware, but as soon as I try to read / write any data from the target, I get that message box popping up saying "STK500.dll - unable to connect to ...".

It would certainly be helpful if you could install AvrStudio on some recent version of Wine, and if the problem persists (which I assume) post a comment to my bug report. I have other problems as well (see bug 34226), maybe you can comment on this too.
