USBasp pro16MHzatmega328 upload error

yarogniew · January 22, 2019, 5:31pm

I try to upload Blink using USBasp to Arduino Pro Mini clone 16MHz 5V atmega328 . Upload Using Programmer USBasp with Arduino IDE works perfectly. This is my env:

[env:pro16MHzatmega328]
platform = atmelavr
board = pro16MHzatmega328
framework = arduino
upload_protocol = usbasp

I’ve got this message:

0x14 != 0x16

avrdude: verifying …
avrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x0042
avrdude: verification error; content mismatch
avrdude done. Thank you.

*** [upload] Error 1

please help

Can you give the part of the verbose output (pio run -v -t upload) where avrdude is invoked? Can you enable verbosity in the Arduino IDE and post how it invokes avrdude?

yarogniew · January 22, 2019, 6:16pm

I do not know what you’re saying to me, I’m very new to programming.

use Embedded System | ShareTechnote

Execute this command a terminal while being within your project’s folder.

Also how did you wire up your USBasp programmer to your Pro Mini clone? Do you have a link where you bought the Arduino?

I’m sorry, I could not answer for a moment, account on hold. Pro mini:

My blog on this topic. USBasp connections. In Polish, but everything is clear;)

Hm… I just tried myself as I’ll be doing some ISP programming with a pro mini soon… and hit a verification mismatch error myself in PlatformIO, but not in the Arduino IDE. But I can’t get a log dump for platformio as after I double checked in the Arduino IDE that it was uploading fine, when I went back and did a verbose upload in platformio it worked just fine! :-/ Anyway, here are the logs for my uploads for reference, which may be helpful if the OP can give logs of it not working still.

Does it work with pio run -t program?

Hi,

I have the same problem with upload as pferick had.
When I do “upload” with icon (below left corner), then I get:

avrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte xxxx.

When I put in terminal pio run -t program it works like a charm.

What is the difference ? What is wrong with upload icon script ?

ivankravets · August 30, 2019, 3:07pm

program target has different behavior. It removes or ads “erasing” flag. You need to use Program task. You will see it in VSCode.

Sorry for the Mee Too, but I am using a CP2102 clone that works with USBasp in the Arunio IDE for my ProMini 5v 16 Mhz

But in VSCode using PlatformIO selecting either USBasp or USBasp-clone complain they cannot find the a device with correct VID… I wanted to try the oip verbose command but pio seems to not be acommand in my vscode terminal

PS C:\Users\nicko\OneDrive\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\Music Test> pio run -v -t upload

PlatformIO commands should be available in the PlatformIO core CLI.

A verbose upload can also be achieved by using project tasks → Advanced → Verbose Upload. It’ll be the same output.

nickolas1969 · October 24, 2023, 3:12pm

I may be at a disadvantage using PlatformIO inside of VSCode as I am not seeing a way to access the PlatformIO shell.

maxgerhardt · October 24, 2023, 3:30pm

So there’s not even a PIO sidebar icon as detailed in the documentation linked above?

nickolas1969 · October 26, 2023, 6:31am

I did not see one, that is there is a PIO Sidebar, and it has Home/Projects/Inspect/Libraries/Boards/Platforms/Devices but nothing I saw that would give a PIO Shell so the command would be in path.

Was thinking if I can edit the USB ID’s list in the USBasp-clone device, maybe I can add mine?
