Problem programming XMega128A1U

I have a project designed to use the XMega128A1U. The program size is 95kB and the internal EEPROM used is 1982 bytes. When i use the programming software, it programs FLASH, programs EEPROM, then crashes out with a popup box saying error. I am using v6.00.04 AVRCo. If I revert back to v5.11.15 version, the project programs with no problems. I am now currently using v5.11 to develop my project.

Why does the programming fail with an error when I use v6.00?

Thanks

Sorry Alvin, I misunderstood your problem.

The issue is that v5.11.15 writes eep files in a non-standard format that only E-Lab programmers understand, and for a period ELab programmers were unavailable. That made in necessary to correct this issue. There is a firmware update available that allows ELab programmers to program industry format eep files.

However you should be able force the program to generate the non-standard format by using the switch

{$ZEROEEPFILE -}

I think that you misunderstood waht I was saying, Miparo. I am saying that the EEP file is now guaranteed to start at zero where it was not before. Nevertheless, you have a point. The EEPROM for xmega128A1U starts at zero, so the EEP files should be the same for both versions of compiler. I will take another look.

Hi,
the PDI port is usually wired incorrectly if it only works at low speed. I use the Xmega128A1 myself every day to test the programmer.
Whereby the Xmega128A1 is a crutch.
