atmega32u4 breakout wont enumerate...

[niknak]

Hello all.
I'm having some issues with the atmega32u4 breakout board.
Perhaps someone here might be able to help?

I purchased this back in November 2011, so i think originally it was runing the leonardo bootloader.
Since its been a while, I checked out the latest bootloader from ada's github repo.

https://github.com/adafruit/Atmega32u4-Breakout-Board/blob/master/BootloaderCDC.hex

i then used my buspirate to write that new bootloader to the atmega32u4. Output is below:

Code: Select all

Avrdude is so polite!

Now.. here's my problem: When i plug in my breakout board, the power light is on, the green boot light is "breathing", but my mac won't enumerate the device.

Its not showing up in /dev/tty.usb* and when i checked the system log i found this:

Code: Select all

9/25/12 7:05:25.000 AM kernel: USBF:   8849.711   [0xffffff802033f600] The IOUSBFamily is having trouble enumerating a USB device that has been plugged in.  It will keep retrying.  (Port 2 of Hub at 0xfd100000)
9/25/12 7:05:28.000 AM kernel: USBF:   8852.713   [0xffffff802033f600] The IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate a device.


I've tried writing the bootloader again just to make sure, but with the same result.

I'm stuck.

thought this might prove helpful as well: this is the results of running avrdude with verbose output:

You might try a different port. Preferably not a USB 3.0 port. If you don't have any USB 2.0 ports, try connecting through a USB 2.0 hub.

Are the fuses and lock bits correct? Your avrdude log doesn't show the explicit setting of fuses that is normally done when programming a bootloader. to ensure things like the boot area start address being set appropriately.
You can find the expected settings in the Makefile. Looks like:

Code: Select all

$(AVRDUDE) $(AVRDUDE_FLAGS) -U lfuse:w:0xFC:m -U hfuse:w:0xD0:m -U efuse:w:0xF3:m
$(AVRDUDE) $(AVRDUDE_FLAGS) $(AVRDUDE_WRITE_FLASH) $(AVRDUDE_WRITE_EEPROM)
$(AVRDUDE) $(AVRDUDE_FLAGS) -U lock:w:0x2F:m

Thanks guys,
I'll give it another go tonight and post the results!
