In the past I have had problems getting the Atmel AVRISP mkII<\/a> to work with Virtualbox<\/a>. \u00a0This can be really irritating if, like me, you want to write code in Linux but are forced to run Windows for Skype and various closed-source development tools<\/a> (ugh).<\/p>\n

Today, it seems to be working. \u00a0I can talk to the AVRISP with avrdude<\/a> and program devices. \u00a0Cool!<\/p>\n

I’m not sure what I changed. \u00a0I’m using Virtualbox 3.2.10 r66523, running on a Windows 7 64-bit host. \u00a0The VM\/client OS is Ubuntu 10.10. \u00a0I created a USB filter for the AVRISP in the Virtual Machine settings; it doesn’t seem to work without it. \u00a0That might be what I was missing before.<\/p>\n

To avoid having to run avrdude with root priveledges, I created the file \/etc\/udev\/rules.d\/10-avrisp2.rules with the contents:<\/p>\n

SUBSYSTEM==\"usb\", SYSFS{idVendor}==\"03eb\", SYSFS{idProduct}==\"2104\", GROUP=\"adm\", MODE=\"0666\"<\/pre>\n
Pretty simple.<\/p>\n
Oh, I should add that there is no guarantee other combinations of host\/client OS will work. \u00a0 If you’re getting different results, leave a comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
