USBtinyISP (minicore) programmer fails to burn bootloaders in minicore versions greater than 2.1.3.

I get the folowing message from avrdude

This appears to be an Avrdude-related issue. MiniCore was upgraded to use Avrdude 7.1 after the 2.2.0 release.

What kind of machine and which OS are you running?

Windows 10 Arduino ide 2.03

Which driver are you using for your USBTinyISP? Are you using libusb0.sys or WinUSB driver?

Can you try the official avrdude 7.1 Windows binary here?
https://github.com/avrdudes/avrdude/releases/tag/v7.1

You can use the command line avrdude.exe -c usbtiny -p m328p -v to see if that works.

No issue with either WinUSB driver or libusb-win32 driver (libusb0.sys) for my generic USBtinyISP (using ATtiny2313). Tested under Windows 10 and Arduino IDE 2.0.3.

libusb.sys and .dll

@smdg49

You can try the following.

  1. Unplug and plug to see if it works or not. Sometimes USBtinyISP may become not responsive.
  2. Switch to WinUSB driver if 1) does not work. You can use Zadig or the method here.

WinUSB works but only once.
I bricked a few chips like this all were smd atmega328p

That is strange. This should not happen. Are you saying the old avrdude 6.3 works for your setup yet the new avrdude 7.1 does not work?

The symptom looks more like HW problem to me. You may try to check the HW connection and your board layout first.

Arduino as ISP does not work either in the new minicore version.

Again, does the old avrdude 6.3 from Arduino work for you setup?

So nano only works with libusb
new minicore only works with winusb driver

It is expected that avrdude 6.3 from Arduino only works with libusb0.sys (libusb-win32 device driver), as it uses dynamic link to to libusb0.dll (libusb-win32 dynamic library) which does not support WinUSB driver. That is why you see the following error when you use avrdude 6.3 with WinUSB driver.

avrdude: Error: Could not find USBtiny device (0x1781/0xc9f)

As for avrdude 7.1 from Arduino, it is recommended to use WinUSB driver, as it is linked to libusb-compat-0.1 library (static link) which is on top of libusb-1.0 library. By right, libusb0.sys should also work but there are problems with libusb0.sys support for libusb-1.0. Therefore libusb project does not recommend the use of libusb0.sys for libusb-1.0 and libusb-compat-0.1 under Windows.
https://github.com/libusb/libusb/wiki/Windows#user-content-Driver_Installation

If you use the official avrdude 7.1 Windows binary from avrdude project, it should work with both libusb0.sys driver or WinUSB driver, as it is using static link to avrdude-libusb.

@smdg49

If you want to further debug the issue (not with avrdude project or MiniCore project, but with libusb project), you can add more info here.

You can run Arduino avrdude 7.1 version without the IDE, and set environment variable LIBUSB_DEBUG=4. Then post the debug log in the above issue.

What about "Arduino as ISP"? It does not use libusb at all so the issue is different.

Did not look into that yet. Rarely use it.

No problem.

BTW, did you encounter the issue every time or not with your Sparkfun programmer? Or is it happening only occasionally? When you encounter the issue, does it help if you unplug and plug it back?

Every time

Please help to post the verbose debug log from arvdude first by running the following under Windows command line.

"C:\Users\**********\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\MiniCore\tools\avrdude\7.1-arduino.1\bin\avrdude" 
"-CC:\Users\*************\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\MiniCore\hardware\avr\2.2.1\avrdude.conf" 
-vvvv -patmega328p -cusbtiny

Then do the same thing but with Environment Variable LIBUSB_DEBUG set to 4.

Arduino IDE is still using avrdude 6.3.x

Sorry but I do not understand this sentence. Arduino IDE with MiniCore 2.2.1 will use avrdude 7.1 version from Arduino. Arduino IDE with MiniCore 2.1.3 version will use avrdude 6.3 from Arduino. Take note Arduino does not use official avrdude release from avrdude project.

To troubleshoot the issue, you do not need to use Arduino IDE at all. Rather you just use the command line to see what is the problem.

To make it easier to you, maybe you can download the binary here and try it. It is the same as the version shipped with MiniCore 2.2.1.
https://github.com/arduino/avrdude-packing/releases/tag/7.1-arduino.1
https://github.com/arduino/avrdude-packing/releases/download/7.1-arduino.1/avrdude_7.1-arduino.1_Windows_32bit.tar.gz

Then you can run the following command line.

.\bin\avrdude -C .\etc\avrdude.conf -c usbtiny -p m328p -vvvv

I cannot reproduce the issue with my USBtinyISP programmer (clone with ATtiny2313), using libusb0.sys driver.

avrdude done.  Thank you.

It is okay if you find it troublesome to troubleshoot the issue as it is not really related to MiniCore or even avrdude 7.1, rather it is related to libusb-1.0 Windows support for libusb0.sys.

As mentioned, you should use WinUSB driver for avrdude 7.0/7.1 under Windows in general and not libusb0.sys.

If you agree, then you can close this issue.

Thanks.
I also switched out avrdude arduino boards to 7.0.x. everything seems to work fine now with winusb driver.

In that case, is it okay that you can close this issue? Thanks.
