How To Check Usbasp Firmware Version

  1. After you have unzipped everything and have the files, we want to copy the usbasp.atmega8.2011-05.28.hex to the same directory where avrdude is. Once you have that, move on to the next step. STEP 4: Now that we have the software and firmware all ready, we now need to connect the USBasp up to the Arduino. Make sure that the JP2 jumper on the.
  2. To get rid of this warning, you must update the firmware to the latest version: usbasp.2011-05-28.tar.gz. If you have another ICSP programmer already, such as a USBtinyISP, programming in the new firmware is quite simple. Here are the steps: 0. Verify that you have a USBasp V2.0, and that it has a 12MHz crystal and an ATMEGA8 or ATMEGA8A MCU.

Downloader is a tool that is essential for the program to flash the microcontroller which typically uses ATMEGA chip. Most of my friends use the USB downloader type of ASP. Today there are types downloader ProgISP types sold in the market. physically to form between USBasp and USB ProgISP as follows

Problems often occur when using the USB downloader ProgISP. Among the OS does not recognize the driver, there is also a “USB Unrecognize”. To overcome this, there should be flashing firmware USBasp.

Step 1:

The most important thing is to have good connections. A proper soldered ISP header. I understand, and yes I have a nice little PCB with a 8pin socked and a 10pin header, with the original USBasp the t85 flashes, with the 'updated' programmers it does not - with the description above of how I flashed the new firmware, I am not too sure what else to described or show. Hi, I've modified the USBasp firmware from 2011-05-28 to add automatic speed detection, but I would like someone else to check over my work before I release it at large. I've done a bit of very basic testing to see if it works, mostly 'can it communicate' and 'can it read flash', but I don't have a large range of devices to check it on. Extract this and go to usbasp.2011-05-28 bin firmware. There are 3 hex files, use the correct one according to chip information. Step 3: Backup Your Original Firmware.

Prepare:
1. USBasp
2. USB ProgISP
3. Cord Jumper
4. Laptops / computers
5. Program flashing [Khazama / eXtreme Burner]
6. Firmware USBasp, download here

Step 2

Open the case and connect with jumper cables between USBasp with USB ProgISP using pin configuration

Pin 1 Pin 1
Pin 3 Pin 3
Pin 5 Pin 5
Pin 7 Pin 7
Pin 9 Pin 9

Step 4
Flashing using USBasp firmware

After flashing, release the jumper, then plug in the downloader into port usb
note : Red LED when firmware ProgISP, and Leb is blue when it is using firimware USBasp

How to Update the Firmware on a USBasp V2.0

REVISED 2018-07-16

If you buy a cheap USBasp V2.0 ICSP programmer on eBay, chances are, avrdude will give you the following warning message:

avrdude: warning: cannot set sck period. please check for usbasp firmware update.

While it’s just a benign warning message which can be ignored with no ill effects, it’s still a constant irritant. Furthermore, it also prevents my speed up technique from working, because it relies on changing the sck period. To get rid of the warning, you must update the firmware to the latest version: usbasp.2011-05-28.tar.gz

If you have another ICSP programmer already, such as a USBtinyISP, programming in the new firmware is quite simple. If you have more than one USBasp, you can even use them to program each other. Here are the steps:

0. Verify that you have a USBasp V2.0, and that it has a 12MHz crystal and an ATMEGA8 or ATMEGA8A MCU onboard. DO NOT CONNECT IT TO THE USB PORT OF YOUR COMPUTER.

1. Short the JP2 (self-programming) jumper.

2. Connect the USBasp V2.0 to the USBtinyISP (or other ISP) using a 10-pin ribbon cable

3. Flash in the new firmware: avrdude -c usbtiny -p atmega8 -U flash:w:usbasp.atmega8.2011-05-28.hex

4. Reprogram the USBasp’s fuses: avrdude -c usbtiny -p atmega8 -u -U hfuse:w:0xc9:m -U lfuse:w:0xef:m

If you’re not using a USBtinyISP, substitute the proper parameter after -c (e.g. -c usbasp).

Note that the usbasp.2011-05-28.tar.gz archive doesn’t contain a compiled .hex file, so you have to re-compile it using WinAVR. Instead, you can just use my hex file, which I compiled directly from the sources: usbasp.atmega8.2011-05-28.zip

If you don’t have another ICSP programmer, you can use an Arduino, following these instructions: Updating firmware on USBASP bought from eBay. However, you may also have to also set the fuses according to Step 3 above. My PC wouldn’t recognize the reprogrammed USBasp until I set the fuses.
