You will receive an error “sck cannot be set”, this is the reason we are performing the firmware update, and it will be corrected following the firmware update.Code: avrdude.exe -c usbasp -p m8 -U flash:w::i.

I used the command line AVRDUDE to upgrade the USBASP, since it was a short command.

Most of the cheap Atmel programmers come with outdated firmware, this one came with firmware from 2008 – Even though the most recent firmware available, was last updated in 2011! To update the firmware, you will need to:Ĭ.Install AVRDUDE (Command Line) or AVRDUDESS (GUI)ĭ.Put a jumper on the JP2 pin header of the TARGET (the USBASP) that you will be programmingĮ.Connect the two USBASPs with the 10-wire cableį.Copy the “” firmware to the AVRDUDE folder.The cheapest Atmel programmer I could find was the USBASP. In order to flash the XProg, you need at Atmel programmer.(I didn’t spend much time troubleshooting 5.7.4, since I only needed 5.5.1 for the FRM). I decided to update (downgrade) to 5.5.1, because 5.5.5 was not stable for me (Verification failed more often than succeeded) and 5.7.4 did not have valid certificates. This means you need to reflash the XProg to a version of the firmware which is not locked, and has a compatible software version. Because it has been a number of years since it was purchased, the level of support provided was…none.īeing a bit of a cheapskate, I decided that I didn’t want to throw out a perfectly good $100 piece of hardware, and was determined to make it work again.
Previously I was able to send a “.req” file to China, and they would send back a “.dat” file that allowed it to work. However, having since upgraded my computer, I needed to reinstall the XProg software…and this is where the issue of the Crappy Chinese XProg comes in. Having experienced this same issue a number of years ago, I went through the parts cabinet to find the XProg in order to recover my FRM. I woke up one morning to the dreaded “Lighting System! Stop Vehicle” error, which means the FRM is unreachable. but I still can’t swing 1000 Euro for something I only use once (or once every 4 years) I purchased a Crappy Chinese XProg clone a few years ago to fix my FRM.
