avr fried - advice on Avrdude
18 December, 2011 - 19:17
OK, firstly let me confess to being a dumbass. Today I rebooted my Livebox with the 1wire 3mm jack only half plugged in. This must have shorted my AVR as it has not worked since and the webgui shows version 1.0 when it was 3.4.
I have put in an old chip with the Bascom URF code on it and this works fine so I am sure it's just the chip I have fried.
However, cock up number two came when I decided to try to re-flash the broken chip using my ISP AVR programmer, this too got fried in the process. Yes I am a genious.
Anyhow my question is, I now have:
1x 328chip with an old HAH code on it
1x 328chip with an arduino bootloader on it
1x Arduino duemillanove
1x HAH
Is it possible to re-flash the recent HEX code onto either of these chips using the now inbuilt AVRDude and my arduino as per the wiki or does this still require a programmer?
Cheers

If you plug the Arduino with the 328 and its bootloader into the HAH you should be able to use AVRDUDE to flash up the .HEX file for the AVR onto this. In fact this pretty much the process we use for the HAH Nodes.
NOTE: if the web gui shows 1.0 this only implies that the xap-livebox process could not determined its revision. Which mostly likely means you have an issue with its firmware. Does the LCD display anything on booting it up? If not then yes you toasted it somehow!
