You do realize that you have to refresh/update the forum screen by clicking on "new post" from time to time, right? It does not automatically update with every new post.
Go to the toolbar in the AVRSTUDIO4 and select the DEBUG drop down menu.
Near the bottom of the dropdown menu you will see "Select Platform and Device".
Click on this selection and you will be presented with a window where you can select the Platform and the Device. Select "AVR simulator" on the left side window and select your ATMEGA32 on the right side window. Then click on finish. That should get you closer to where you need to be. The AVR dragon indication at the bottom of the screen should now say AVR Simulator.
Perform this selection and then get back to me to let me know how it turned out.
I have noticed if I keep clicking the verify button under the Main tab
I get the signature changing from 0x01 0x03 0x05
to different values 0x01 0x03 0x06 ,....etc
I have check the connections and no wire is touching any other wire.
So I am not getting any cross talk.
So I think it is safe to assume it is rigged up correctly.
Ok when I connect and verify it still gives me the same problem.
When I hit program it gives me
Geting isp parameter 0x04 .. OK unable to open specified file
But in the message box it doesn't say that the mkII failed?
Let's slow down the speed that you are using to talk to your target.
Click on the "MAIN" tab on the programming window and go down below the signature section and click on the "Settings" button. Change your ISP speed to 125KHz and then check your signature again. If that doesn't work, select the next lowest speed. Try all of the lower speeds to see if one of them works.
I believe the signature you are looking for is 0x1E 0x95 0x02.
Yes, signature matches selected device.
That what it say's with 0x1E 0x95 0x02 as you said.
But still cann't program it.
It still gives
Geting isp parameter SD=0x06 .. OK unable to open specified file
instead of
Geting isp parameter SD=0x04 .. OK unable to open specified file
Have you recompiled your program since you made the change to the platform and got rid of the AVR DRAGON indication? If not recompile your program and see if that helps.
I have noticed alot of werid stuff under the fuses and lockbit tab that I don't under stand and may have screwed up in the passed if this could be the cause.
