RE: [avr-gcc-list] AVR Programming in Cygwin (WinXP) under uisp

[Al Williams]

One problem I have had is that my PCI LPT board has an odd address (0xB400).
It is easy enough to modify the source code for UISP to not check the base
address specified. 

In DAPA.C:

#if 0
    if (parport_base!=0x278 && parport_base!=0x378 && parport_base!=0x3bc) {
      /* TODO: option to override this if you really know
         what you're doing (only if running as root).  */
      throw Error_Device("Bad device address.");
    }
#endif

I added the #if, but it really should be done smarter (as alluded to in the
TODO comment) :-) But for my purposes, quick and it works. Command line
like:

uisp -dprog=xil -dlpt=0xb400 --erase .....

>From the uisp man page:

  -dlpt=address|device name
     specify device name (Linux ppdev, FreeBSD ppi, serial) or direct
     I/O parallel port address (0x378, 0x278, 0x3BC)

If you are using cygwin, try '-dlpt=com1' or '-dlpt=/dev/com1'
