AxonII programmer tool , not FBOOT?
« on: September 29, 2010, 11:15:47 PM »
Hi,   

I just notice that FBOOT is not a option for my vista 64bit box.   
I've searched forum but I can't figure out how I can program.

I have a tiny usb pololu programmer for baby orangutan.

Can I use this programmer for axionII ?    AVR studio doesn't list atmega640 device
and I have no idea what to do. -.-

Does anybody use this programmer to use with axonII ?

Another possibility:  Get a distribution of Linux that can boot off of CD (leaving your harddrive and Vista 64 untouched) and see this FAQ for Linux bootloading.

Hi,

I've successfully flash axon_tst.hex with avrdude on my vista 64bit PC.

My programmer is  http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1300 

and the command I'm using is

c:\>avrdude -c avrisp2 -p m640 -P COM4 -U flash:w:axon_tst.hex

It was super-fast I think.  Does anyone know how to make shortkey to do this command in winavr-
programmer note pad ?   - I do not know how to make file selection dialog pop up.
