If I go to Tools > Device Programming in AVRStudio 6.0 to program the Atmega8 everything is working fine. I've set the ISP frequency to 1 MHz and checked the fuses as well.

But as I just hit F5, programming most of the times failes (sometimes it works for whatever reason) giving me an error message:

enter image description here

Error: ispProgramMem: Error status received: Got 0x80, expected 0x00

but unfortunately no further information.

The build output does not report any errors:

Does anybody know what the problem might be?

  • \$\begingroup\$ If the chip was using an external oscillator previously and now you are trying to reprogram it without that oscillator - it will not work - put that oscillator back. Check the power lines/connections. Do you have anything connected to the pins that are used for programming? \$\endgroup\$

Recently I was debugging with mkii in atmel studio 6 win7 x64. In sudden, after couple of tens flash writes, atmel studio stucked with same error. I resolved issue by playing with frequency of ISP clock in Device Programming Window.
