[avr-gcc-list] uisp with byteblaster question

[Holly Gates]

Hello, sorry to ask what may seem like a silly question, but could 
someone give me the pinout for connecting the Altera Byteblaster (driven 
with uisp) to an ATmega128 board?

Normally I use ponyprog, but on my laptop ponyprog doesn't seem to work 
on a USB-serial adapter and there is no regular serial port :(

Sooo.., I though I would just use the handy byteblaster cable I have 
sitting here.

I've searched around quite a bit, and perhaps I just missed it or its 
obvious, but I couldn't seem to find the pinout for use with uisp. I 
tried looking through the uisp source, but I am much better at hardware 
than software so I didn't get very far. After looking at the lines of 
the byteblaster with an oscilloscope when uisp was trying to program 
something, I have come to the following mapping:


byteblaster 10-pin header              ATmega128
       1                                 SCLK
       2                                 GND
       3                                 TXD0(pin3)
       4                                 VCC
       5                                 Reset
       9                                 RXD0(pin2)
       10                                GND

So I wired this up to the board I am trying to program and tried uisp.

This is the command line I am trying to use with a sample hex file:

   address@hidden tmp]# uisp -dprog=abb -v=3 -dpart=ATmega128 --upload 
       if=juicebox.hex

which gives this result:
  
   Reset inactive time (t_reset) 1000 us
   AVR Direct Parallel Access succeeded after 0 retries.
   Vendor Code: 0x1e
   Part Family: 0x97

   Polling: count = 16, min/avg/max = 3.47/9.78/15.34 ms
   address@hidden tmp]#

But the program doesn't run on the board, and in fact when I give this 
command:

   address@hidden tmp]# uisp -dprog=abb -v=3 -dpart=ATmega128 --upload 
       if=juicebox.hex --verify

Then I get the same result as above, except for then when it starts to 
verify it just scrolls errors:

   Verifying: flash

   flash error at address 0xa0: file=0xfe, mem=0xfa

   #flash error at address 0xb5: file=0xed, mem=0xe1

   flash error at address 0xcd: file=0xe1, mem=0xa1
   flash error at address 0xce: file=0xde, mem=0x80
   flash error at address 0xcf: file=0xbf, mem=0xa0

etc, etc.

Anyone have an idea of some command line options that would make this 
work? Or maybe I have guessed the wrong pin mapping for uisp to 
byteblaster??

Thanks for any help,
