AVR32 support #1882
Comments
Previously the idea is to forget about AVR32 support as it is not popular. |
That makes sense. The If the concern is about testing hardware, we have plenty that is using the If the official plan is to completely remove AVR32 support, then I would suggest to rip out as many mentions as possible (i.e. the Regardless. How do I add a new MCU when I can't run the |
avrdude has a distinct focus on 8-bit AVR. The one 32-bit I don't think the current maintainers have

We have a handful of products (for the curious, this is one of them) that is using I have talked to my boss about this, and we (sadly) don't have the resources available to lift additional maintenance tasks on this. The plan is to continue to use the official (outdated, and frankly quite buggy) If any future historians are reading this conversation, you can download the
You may close this issue and mark as Regardless, I think it would be a good idea for avrdude to remove the avrdude -c dragon_jtag -p uc3a0512 -t -vvvl error.log
# then just ctrl+d to exit terminal mode It seems that it produces the same error. So it looks like it would make a lot of sense to just remove the config entry. As an aside, I have used avrdude on 8-bit AVR on other unrelated projects, and it has been an absolute joy to use. |
Thanks for the error.log @sillydan1 Although it shows an error it doesn't look like the error is fatal. The bleeding edge avrdude built from git main might show a warning (probably not even that) but certainly not an error. Can you try reading/writing to that part, say by writing a simple .hex file to flash memory ( |
I am trying to add a new MCU to the list of supported parts. Specifically, I am trying to add the
AT32UC3C0512C
MCU, which is (sorta) similar to theAT32UC3A0512
which is already in the default config, so I (perhaps naively) assume that it should be somewhat straight forward to add. However, when I try to use my initial config, I get an error:Doing some digging, it seems that the culprit is a lookup in an autogenerated table in
avrintel.c
. However, it seems that the autogeneratedavrintel.c
file is not being updated on compilation. According to the comment, these files are autogenerated by the perl script calledmkavrintel.pl
, but during my research, I found this and this comment which indicate that the script is simply not available, and doesn't seem to ever will be.If this is the case, I am left to wonder:
How do I even add a new MCU, when the script that is required to use is not available?
Personally, I don't mind unreadable code, so publishing a required, but messy perl script is astronomically better than leaving it as "an exercise for the reader", so to speak.
P.S.
I noticed that the
AT32UC3A0512
MCU is not in the autogenerated table either. Is this on purpose?P.P.S.
For the curious, my initial config is (obviously not working yet):
I am using an AVRDragon as my programmer, and yes, I have a good, solid connection.
