Re: [Uisp-dev] [AVR-GCC-LIST] OT: STK500 programming slowdown?

[Theodore A. Roth]

Since this happens when using either uisp or avrstudio, it very much looks
like a hardware problem. Since the other poster saw the problem go away
after rebooting the PC host, I would think that the stk500 is having a
problem which is causing it to fall back to a timed programming mode
(instead of polling for flash write complete).

What firmware version is in the stk500? Probably 1.10 if you are using
avrstudio 4.x

What devices are you trying to program?

I assume you power the stk500 down before switching from PC to Mac?

:) any ideas ?
