I installed Eclipse 2024-03 with the plugin to manage AVR MCUs. But when I try to indicate which MCU programmer I intend to use, using the Windows->Preference->AVR window, although I can see from the console window that the devices have been identified, I am not allowed to add them and therefore use them.
I use Kali OS (Linux 5.15.44-Re4son-v8l+ #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian kali-pi (2022-07-03) aarch64 GNU/Linux) on Raspberry PI4.
The avrdude (version 7.1) program works perfectly if launched from the command line. I can't understand why Eclipse is unable to configure any device starting from the configuration file /etc/avrdude.conf which however seems to find and manage (through the execution of avrdude).
I would simply to configure the device:
usbasp = USBasp, [/etc/avrdude.conf:1217]
Can anyone give me information on how to fix this issue?
I also had the same problem with previous versions of Eclipse; the problem is not Eclipse, but the fact that the AVR plugin does not handle avrdude 7.1.
I solved it by following the stackoverflow post AVR - Can't add Programmer on Eclipse.
Since I didn't like the solution of downgrading avrdude very much, I downloaed avrdude 5.11.1 from https://download-mirror.savannah.gnu.org/releases/avrdude/avrdude-5.11.1.tar.gz and I compiled it in a local directory. Then I set the AVR configurations in Eclipse in a customized way so as to use avrdude 5.11 in Eclipse, but have avrdude 7.1 on the command line.
If you do not want to downgrade avrdude you must configure Eclipse using the Windows->Preverence->AVR menu by modifying the AVR path (in AVR->Paths) and pointing (in AVR->AVRdude) to the avrdude.conf file located in the local directory where you compiled avrdude 5.11 and so your problem is solved!
