Hi,
I'm trying to update the firmware on my newly acquired TinyG. But when I try to run avrdude I get 100 000-ish lines of ***failed;.
The avrdude version I have installed is 6.0.1. And the tinyg.hex file I used was from git and under /firmware/tinyg/default/tinyg.hex.
I can't get what I do wrong.
I don't know if it helps but here is a terminal log of the command. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2028820/avrdude.log
Could anyone give me some pointers?
** FIXED **
Figured it out. Turns out that you can't flash it with avrdude 6.0.1, downgraded to 5.11 and it worked perfectly.
Hmm weird. I have flash with 6 before. But cool. BTW if you flashed your v8 with tinyg.hex you blew away your bootloader. I am not sure if you understood that but its pretty easy to get it back on if you have an AVRISP MKII programmer.
riley
Then it is indeed even more weird. Because I still get the led blinking indicating that it got a bootloader...
