Help

We'd like to track down the trinket/gemma verification error bug that some customers are seeing. we can't reproduce the bug - all our gemma/trinkets work great on all our computers and its a small number of customers (percentagewize!) so its hard to chase down the issue. we'd like to start with windows customers first

if you're having lots of verification errors, as in you cannot upload via the Arduino IDE and you are a windows user please help us out! answer these q's and we'll figure it out together :)

1) what exact version of windows are you using? win7, win7 64, vista, win 8, win 8.1...etc
2) what exact product is it? trinket 3v, trinket 5v or gemma?
3) can you paste the avrdude error?
4) if you edit the avrdude.conf file and change the 900000 to 400000, does that fix things? http://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-trinket/faq#faq-3
5) how about if you update your avrdude to this version attached here, does that fix things?
6) did none of those things help?

Thanks looks like this solves many people's problems, and we got a lot of feedback. to keep this from turning into a general-purpose thread i'm locking now. make a new thread if you need help!

1) what exact version of windows are you using?

Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit (Service Pack 1).
Arduino 1.0.5 (Clean zipped version not .exe with this driver and the steps on this page done (ie Added ATtiny85 Support, Updated 'avrdude.conf' and Updated 'ld.exe')

2) what exact product is it?

Tinket 5V

3) can you paste the avrdude error?

Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE: avrdude: error: usbtiny_receive: usb_control_msg: sending control message failed, win error: The device does not recognize the command. (expected 4, got -5)

After getting this message, Trinket will cycle in boot-mode indefinitely. (Windows device plug/unplug sounds occur seemingly in random order every 5 or so seconds).

4) if you edit the avrdude.conf file and change the 900000 to 400000, does that fix things?

Yes but message (above) is still displayed however Trinket gets programmed (tested only with "Blink" sketch).

5) how about if you update your avrdude to this version attached here, does that fix things?

With 'chip_erase_delay' set back to 900000 it fails with the following message:

Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE: avrdude: TRINKET BOOTLOADER SELECTED avrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x0000 0xff != 0x20 avrdude: verification error; content mismatch

With 'chip_erase_delay' set to 400000 it works with the following message:

Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE: avrdude: TRINKET BOOTLOADER SELECTED avrdude: TRINKET BOOTLOADER SELECTED

Hope this helps

OK, steve, so for you, *both* are required to have a clean programming experience. thanks for the notice!

Can't find post edit so I'll just add this here in case it helps someone:

Windows was booted with "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" mode. (Press F8 when Windows is booting up until you get the Advanced Boot Options menu, then select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement").

Without this I would constantly get the error message:

Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE: avrdude: Error: Could not find USBtiny device (0x1781/0xc9f)

n0rd, that is a driver problem, not a verification error. this thread is for debugging verification errors, only. thanks!

1) what exact version of windows are you using? win, win7 64, vista, win 8, win 8.1...etc

-> XP PRO

2) what exact product is it? trinket 3v, trinket 5v or gemma?

-> Trinket 3V

3) can you paste the avrdude error?

-> Same as n0rd

4) if you edit the avrdude.conf file and change the 900000 to 400000, does that fix things? http://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-trinket/faq#faq-3

-> exact same results as n0rd

5) how about if you update your avrdude to this version attached here, does that fix things?

-> exact same results as n0rd ==> YAY IT WORKS

6) did none of those things help?

==> Doing both got me from a very cumbersome programming (using command line, -D, and all that stuff), to a working Arduino IDE + Trinket combination. Many thanks !!!

1) what exact version of windows are you using?

Win7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit
Arduino 1.0.5
Using the 1.2.1 USBTiny Driver
Updated avrdude.conf
Updated avr-ld

2) what exact product is it? trinket 3v, trinket 5v or gemma?

This is a Trinket 5v

3) can you paste the avrdude error?

Sure, from avrdude:

Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE: C:\Users\Marc>avrdude -c usbtiny -p attiny85 avrdude: TRINKET BOOTLOADER SELECTED avrdude: AVR device initialized and ready to accept instructions Reading | ################################################## | 100% 0.03s avrdude: Device signature = 0x1e930b avrdude: safemode: Fuses OK avrdude done. Thank you.

Which all looks fine and dandy, when I try to upload from Arduino, I get this:

Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE: avrdude: error: usbtiny_receive: usb_control_msg: sending control message failed, win error: A device attached to the system is not functioning. (expected 4, got -5) avrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x0000 0x20 != 0x00 avrdude: verification error; content mismatch

This happens plugged directly into the laptop, and also when it's attached through a USB hub.

4) if you edit the avrdude.conf file and change the 900000 to 400000, does that fix things?

No. I've tried a couple different settings, from 300000 to 900000. Hasn't made a difference that I can tell.

5) how about if you update your avrdude to this version attached here, does that fix things?

I am currently using

Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE: C:\Users\Marc>avrdude -v avrdude: Version 5.11svn-20111019, compiled on Oct 9 2013 at 11:48:15

Previously, I'd been using this version:

Code: Select all | TOGGLE FULL SIZE: C:\Users\Marc>avrdude -v avrdude: Version 5.11-Patch#7610, compiled on Aug 31 2011 at 08:02:19

6) did none of those things help?

Unfortunately no. Though I have faith that we'll sort this out. Adafruit hasn't steered me wrong yet, and I doubt you'll start any time soon.

mtb369, please turn on VERBOSE UPLOADING (in Arduino IDE preferences) and post the entire output from trying to upload blink sketch to a trinket

by mtb369 on Fri Nov 08, 2013 5:15 pm

Hello again.

As per your request, I've enabled the verbose uploading. I tried uploading it a number of times, just to make sure I was getting a consistent error. I managed to get two errors. One of which I've not been able to reproduce, so I don't know if it's important, or was just a hiccup.

This is what I've seen every time but once:
(Also, it seems like it says more at the beginning of the upload, but may be getting cut off.)

Thank you.

I've only seen it return this once, but thought it might be useful to add as well. This is what came up the second time I tried it:
EDIT-- I've gotten this a couple times now. It seems to make a difference how long of a delay I have between pressing the bootloader button, and trying to upload... A shorter delay returns this message.

That seemed really odd to me, so I ran avrdude again just to see what the signature it was showing there, and it came back with:

Thanks for looking into this. Please let me know if there's any other info I can provide. :)

it does not appear that you replaced
C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude
as arduino is reporting
avrdude: Version 5.11, compiled on Sep 2 2011 at 19:38:36
if you did you should see avrdude: TRINKET BOOTLOADER SELECTED
also make sure you changed
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf"
first since that is required. right now it says
Chip Erase delay : 4500 us
that number should be changing!!!

we suggestion downloading a new version of arduino ZIP NOT INSTALLER and following the instructions from the beginning so you know you have a fresh install

Made the changes and I have a nice slow, steady blink. :D Hooray!

# | 100% 0.12s avrdude: verifying ... avrdude: 832 bytes of flash verified avrdude done. Thank you.

I think I just got confused between setting it up to work with avrdude vs. arduino. I had been changing the conf in the wrong path... :roll: (Which would explain why it all looked good in avrdude.)

My bad. Thank you so much for getting me on the right path... Adafruit kicks ass. :D

I am running Win 7 Professional SP1 32-bit on a Toshiba Satellite L355 laptop.

I manually installed the usbtinyisp driver from the usbtinyisp_w32_driver_v1.12 zip folder. I did not encounter any driver certificate warnings or errors.

I initially installed WinAvr. Afterwards I downloaded/extracted avrdude.exe and avrdude.conf from Rick’s posting at http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releas ... -win32.zip and copied them into the WinAvr/bin directory. I have since downloaded/extracted these two files from Adafruit’s Nov 6, 2013 forum posting containing the link to avrdudetrinket11513.zip.

I edited the avrdude.conf to reflect the suggested chip erase delay value.

The new avrdude.exe and modified avrdude.conf were saved in two locations: In the WINAVR location of C:\WinAVR-20100110\bin and in the Arduino location of C:\Program Files\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\bin.

When I run avrdude.exe –v from the command line, this is the response I receive.

When I try attempt Rick’s trinketblink (command line) programming exercise, I consistently receive a verification error. However, the byte location where the error occurs is not consistent as in these examples:

Example 1:

Example 2:

Even though I do receive the verification error, sometimes the programming appears to work as the behavior of the Gemma will change. The rapid led blinking and repetitive bootloading will change to a slow blink rate and after the intial bootload attempt, will not bootload again until I either press the reset button on the Gemma or unplug/replug the usb connection.

I have tried programming the Gemma through the Arduino IDE without success. The first time I installed the Arduino IDE I used the Arduino windows installer. After reading Adafruit’s November 8th response on the forum to mtb369, I uninstalled Arduino, download/extracted the arduino-1.0.5-windows.zip file and again attempted to program the Gemma without success. Before I attempted to upload to the Gemma, I did copy the lastest avrdude.exe and avrdude.conf to the respective Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\bin directories. I receive similar errors from both Arduino locations.

The errors I appear to be getting from the Arduino IDE are:

I suspect I am suffering from being too close to the forest and cannot see the obvious.

Doug, its not possible to read the text on those images, please crop them and upload them without resizing so we can read the text
also, please try another computer in case its something with your laptop

Sorry about the screen shots. I hope these are better.

Here is what is going on with these screen shots. This evening I made over 50 attempts to program the Gemma using avrdude. I guess my timing wasn't very good at hitting the bootloader because I generally received the following error:

avrdude: Error: Could not find USBtiny device (0x1781/oxc9f).

Out of those 50 attempts, 4 times I did get the timing right and avrdude reported Trinket Bootloader Selected and transferred the hex file to the device. Only once, did I not receive the verification error (which I also believe was the only time I ever had an error free transfer.)

As far as the Arduino IDE goes, the last screen shot shows the messages I generally receive. However, it is doing something to the device even though it appears that it is not talking. Prior to this upload attempt from the Arduino IDE, I had successfully transferred the trinketblink.hex file using avrdude. The led was blinking slowly and the bootloader was not recycling. After the upload attempt, the led again flashes quickly and the bootloader again recycles.

Doug, you've got a very finicky one! :) is it possible for you to try another computer?
