Package: avrdude Version: 5.6-1 Severity: important
sometimes "something" causes the parallel port to be left in a state where the reset pin or data pins are driven high by the STK200 programmer In this state there no way to reset the port using avrdude as the -E parameter is being ignored. This seems like an oversight, for although the STK200 by design cannot power the target AVR it can interfere with its operation. it also denies the use of the STK 200 for togling the RESET line etc... when I get into this bind I find that writing 0xff to the data pins of the parallel port gets things working again. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers stable APT policy: (700, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-bpo.2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages avrdude depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18lenny2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.7+20081213-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.2-4 GNU readline and history libraries ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-13 userspace USB programming library avrdude recommends no packages.
