[QUOTE="szymon, post: 87896, member: 189412"] Hey folks, Does anyone know where I can get hold of atmelprg.exe, the dos program for programming atmel cards (such as a fun card) in an Elvis programmer? It seems to have totally vanished from adteknik's site. However, their manual still says that if you're having trouble programming a fun card, you should use atmelprg.exe. I've searched this forum (and countless others), as well as as much of the web as Google covers, and I've been unable to find it. I have a fairly old Fun card with an AT90S8515 processor and a 24c64 memory chip, along with the typical 7 LED's. The processor clearly has some form of software on it, as I can use a phoenix programmer to program the external EEProm. I don't have a seperate fun programmer, and I was about to give up when I remembered that my trusty Elvis should be able to do this! The Elvis is an MP3.5 Firmware 1.7 (flash date 2002-04-04), and I have downloaded the latest multiprog 1.80. To ensure that Elvis is working just fine, I have written a couple of PIC cards, and I also put the 24c64 in the IC socket and read and written to it just fine. I also put the Elvis in Phoenix mode, and used that to read and write to the 24c64, and the Elvis "built in" phoenix tab also reads and writes the 24c64 just fine. The fun's data light shows it transmitting data, and it works perfectly. However, the moment I try using the Fun/ATMega tab to do anything, everything goes to pot. Whatever I try to do, be it read, write or even erase, the programmer returns "Error Initializing Card". Even removing the checkboxes from all of Flash, Internal Eeprom and External Eeprom, and simply choosing "Identify", I get a red "Error Initializing Card" at the bottom. This is the only AVR programmer I have available, and I'd really like to get it working on this card :) That's why reading the docs that said "if you have trouble programming an atmel card, use atmelprg.exe under dos", I figured I'd do just that. I have win98 on a machine somewhere here, and...well, damn, I can't find atmelprg.exe anywhere :-( I know it's on the original disk I got from cardman.co.uk when I bought the programmer a couple of years back, but of course I lost those ages ago... Any help much appreciated! -simon [/QUOTE]
