Comments on: Arduino Full Memory: how to upgrade to the last ATMEL Toolchain version https://www.open-electronics.org/arduino-full-memory-upgrade-to-the-last-atmel-toolchain-version/ Open source electronic projects Wed, 29 Jul 2015 14:01:16 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.1 By: Boris Landoni https://www.open-electronics.org/arduino-full-memory-upgrade-to-the-last-atmel-toolchain-version/#comment-8894 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 14:52:13 +0000 http://www.open-electronics.org/?p=2147#comment-8894 @Westfw, currently the only toolchain working with all operating systems contains the compiler version 4.3.2, which has the bug we’re talking about.

Since we would like to solve the problem, in Windows OS, yours is the same question that we had placed without an answer, so we decided to start this experiment. At that moment, the issue was no solution, so we started and completed this work.

Even today the latest version of the IDE compiler works with 1.0.1-rc1 4.3.2, so the only way to overcome the problem would be to use the AVR Studio, but we had to solve the problem on the IDE, hence the our work.

Upon more testing, it works with my Uno but not my 1284P board. I’m a bit confused, but still looking. Thanks very much, sorry to have made that error.

I just tried again with the sketh “ascii table”, both with the 0023 IDE to 1.0, and it works perfectly.

I tried this, and it all appears to work. Example sketches compile, link and AvrDude uploads them to the board successfully. Strangely, though, my compiled apps don’t seem to be able to talk to a serial terminal. For example, the ASCII Table example can’t talk to my terminal (through the FTDI chip). But if I compile with the original, it works fine.

I am using IDE 1.0. Any ideas?

Thanks…

(IIRC, Atmel provides “avr-gcc x.y.z + patches” rather than flat gcc. You can check by looking at the code produced.)
