new WinAVR and AVR Studio versions

[Admin]

I haven't tested them out much, so don't know how compatible they are with the $50 Robot or the Axon. But I'm upgrading and will only release future code that works with the latest versions. Report any problems you discover here.

I'll be using this version from now on, I'll report back only if I find something broken.

I am reporting about a serious bug in AVR Studio 4.16 (build 628).

It is unable to write to the boot section.

AVR Studio 4.15 (build 623) however works fine.


Now if only I can get the last 3 hours of my life back, struggling to figure out why the bootloader wouldn't work on the Axon but everything else did


edit: Its fixed in the beta, along with two more bugs related to the ATmega640 (the Axon mcu):

AVR Studio build 638 was released like 2 weeks ago:

AVR Studio 4.16 SP1 (build 638) (34 MB, updated 5/09)
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/AVRStudio4.16SP1.exe

Strangely, AVR Studio isn't requiring registration to download it this time . . . I wonder if my little url hack had anything to do with it

(install 4.16 first, then install the SP1)

fyi - I haven't tried it yet
