AVR STK500 Firrmware upgrade failed - please help

Hi all,

I was just trying to use an STK500 AVR development board. My version of AVR studio told me I should upgrade its firmware. I did, and as luck would have it the power lead came out during the upgrade.

Now when I turn on the STK I only get the red power LED. No other LEDs light up, and I cannot talk to the board via AVRStudio.

I need to get this board running ASAP. Is it possible to recover from this failure? I have a working AVRISP programmer if it will help.

thanks,

Al

Please disregard this message. After I rebooted my PC, it worked for some reason.

Thanks for the reply.

I am having a similar problem with my STK500 where I cannot get it into upgrade mode. If I try either the jumper or the program button, the status LED still flashes through the three colors and ends on green.

AVRStudio claims it's version 1.0E on loading the program window, but the status says it's 1.41. Any suggestions on how to get the thing working?

Thanks, Jeremy

Apparently the 1200 micro wasn't programmed properly. After I hooked up it's programming pins to an AVRISP and reprogrammed that, things started to work properly.

That was the "other way" i mentioned ;-). Aparently the stk is vulnerable, i've seen at least a couple of 1200 screwed. Did you have trouble findind the soft, or is it running wild now?

Best Regards
