Reflashing SIO2SD

Recommended Posts

Today I was testing an 835 modem with the SIO2SD connected and 835 made a weird noise. Afterward the LCD display on the SIO2SD came up with a row of blocks on the top line, and only the green LCD lights up...

 

Can I reflash the atmel chip from the six pin connections on board? If so, How do I wire it up to an LPT Port?

 

Or how can I get a new programmed Atmel for it?

 

Thanks,

Jay

Next Question:

What program is used in that configuration?

AVRprgWin's docs says to use different pins on the LPT port for SCK snd Reset...

I'd say if you use the diagram I posted in Post #2 and the software I also posted, you'll have no problems. The crystal and +5v supply are unnecessary, since the power and timing will come from the SIO2SD itself when you're flashing it.

What's the exact model PIC used in SIO2SD (I don't feel like pulling my LCD off again) ?

 

It's almost looking like worth being buying a spare then programming it and having it stored away in case anything goes wrong.

Thank you for the clarification FJC :)

Woo Hoo!!! Got my SIO2SD back up and running with v3.0rc5, also set the Fusebits to (H: 0xC3, L: 0x3F)...

:D

 

Thanks again for the help...

For what it's worth, I really, really, really like the Atmel AVR Dragon as a do-all programmer. It's now supported by avrdude so I can use it from OS X without issue. I've got a bit about mine and the DIP40 ZIF socket that I fitted it with here.

 

(This is the device that I used for flashing the SDrive NUXX AVRs via HVPP mode.)
