From within either AVR studio 4 or 5 it will not support the ATxmega128A1 from the AVIISP mkII (000200051108). The status for the programmer is Available but it just says ATxmega128A1 Support is No. I have the eval board powered up and both LEDs are green on the programmer. Under Tools->AVR programming I have the Tool=AVRISPmkII, Device=ATxmega128A1, Interface=PDI I cannot read the Device ID but the Target voltage test returns 3.0V I just get this error "Unable to enter programming mode. Please verify that the programmer is correctly attached to the target and that target power has been switched on. Also verify that the correct device and interface settings have been specified." I don't know what I am missing here. Hey Frank, I just got a XMEGA-A1 XPlained evaluation kit and hooked things up like you said but am having no luck programming it.

Under Tools->AVR programming I have the Tool=AVRISPmkII, Device=ATxmega128A1, Interface=PDI

I cannot read the Device ID but the Target voltage test returns 3.0V

I just get this error “Unable to enter programming mode. Please verify that the programmer is correctly attached to the target and that target power has been switched on. Also verify that the correct device and interface settings have been specified.”

I don’t know what I am missing here.

I'm looking to get into the xmega products but don't have the dough at the moment to buy the JTAGICEMKII. I'll look forward to playing with the Xplain board with my AVRISPMKII. Thanks too for your other Xplain Xmega Gotchas post! Thanks for the info Frank. I’m looking to get into the xmega products but don’t have the dough at the moment to buy the JTAGICEMKII.

It works. Yes, as the posting above says, the AVR ISP II supports programming XMega with PDI. It works.

I have searched a lot and found that I need to buy AVR ISP mkII programmer. Is it true? If I buy this programmer can I be sure that I can program Xmega? Does this programmer programmes just true PDI for XMega? I need to program Xmega. I have searched a lot and found that I need to buy AVR ISP mkII programmer.

Last time I checked AVRdude, it didn't support this. I guess it's just a matter of keeping an eye on AVRdude periodically and waiting until it's supported. I don’t know.
