Dear Ponyprog,

Already enjoyed jusing your program for years!

Nowadays I want to get started with the "new" Atmel Mega 328 uC.
Only I discoverd there is no support with the newest version of P.P.

Can you please implement this processor? Would be great!!

Cheers,
Erik

Dear Sr:

I'm experimenting the same problem, in my version of PonyProg, there isn't support
for ATmega 328 or 328P. The question is, how can I solve this problem?, is it possible for any one to modify such parameters so the program recognizes new chips?.

Thanks in advance.

same as above need to program the Atmega328 328 328p please help

Hello Ron,

I have created patch to PonyProg 2.08c source files with supporting some new signature bytes for atmega processors.

These changes I have implemented:

+added support for ATmega328P
+added new signature bytes recognition for atmel processors
0x1E 0x94 0x0B // new ATmega168PA (RG 28.09.2012)
0x1E 0x95 0x0F // new ATmega328P (RG 23.06.2012)
0x1E 0x94 0x0F // new ATmega164A (RG 30.08.2013)
0x1E 0x95 0x15 // new ATmega324A (RG 30.08.2013)
0x1E 0x95 0x11 // new ATmega324PA (RG 30.08.2013)
0x1E 0x96 0x0A // new ATmega644PA (RG 18.04.2012)

+added text "Detected signature bytes: 0x1E 0x?? 0x??" on the unknown device message window
+added text "Detected device is: ..." on the bad device type message window

Due to download file link unavailability on the filedropper, I have created an alternative simple web page ( http://sonix.szm.com ) where you can download these files.

These changes are on CVS now, will be released as 2.08d soon.

Dear Sir,

i've tried the new Version.., but programming the Atmega328 doesn't work. Is the device signature 0x1e9514 from Atmega328 not integrated?

PonyProg said unknown device.

Can you help me?

Thank you!

Hello bb.

I have precompiled executable win32 test version with supporting same new signature bytes from atmega processors.

These models I have not tested and the signature bytes are from datasheet.

0x1E 0x92 0x0A // new ATmega48PA (RG 18.11.2013)
0x1E 0x93 0x0F // new ATmega88PA (RG 18.11.2013)
0x1E 0x95 0x14 // new ATmega328 (RG 18.11.2013)


You can find it in the attachment.

Mr. Lanconelli will release official version soon.

Yours sincerely
sonix

Hello sonix,

wonderful - this is really a better way to program the 328. Meanwhile i programmed the chip with AVRdude.., but this works only with an delay of 180µs. No i can use PonyProg :-)

Big thanks!

Greetings
Björn

Good morning,

I also like to program the ATMega 328(P) but the above file doesn't work for me... when trying to program a 328P. I can select ATMega328 and I'm able to read the content and the Fuse settings of the 328P but when trying to write I'll receive an Error Notice -21

I'm using the Parallel Port AVR ISP I/O LPT1 setting which worked for other devices in the past.

Update:
AVRDUDE seems to have a similar problem as it reports:
Device signature = 0x1e9514
Expected signature for ATmega328P is 1e950F

Maybe this is the same problem with Ponyprog

Many thanks for some kind support

Hello tokabln,

avrdude informed you about incorrect device selection. Signature bytes 0x1E 0x95 0x14 identifies ATmega328 and 0x1E 0x95 0x0F identifies ATmega328P. So in signature bytes there is no similarity with PonyProg. In PonyProg (my test version) are these signature bytes included, which is also confirmed by your mention of successful content reading.

What is the result when you execute Probe command from PonyProg menu Setup / Interface Setup with correct port settings? The result message should be "Test OK"


Anyway I suggest you to install latest official PonyProg from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ponyprog/files/latest/download

and then replace original PonyProg.exe with my modified version (windows 32-bit)


Best regards

sonix
