[DONE] avrdude:did not find any USB device "usb"

[janpihlgren]

I whish to use Arduino IDE in MGA5x64.
When I try to load a sketch to an Arduino as root I get the following message:

[root@Humlan trinket-arduino-1.0.5]# Experimental: JNI_OnLoad called.
Stable Library
=========================================
Native lib Version = RXTX-2.1-7
Java lib Version = RXTX-2.1-7

avrdude: usbdev_open(): did not find any USB device "usb"

As serial port I only have the choice: /dev/ttyS0
What to do?

Seems a known issue, see http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=150690.0
or maybe http://arduino.stackexchange.com/questi ... device-usb
FWIW, those are the two top results when searching for the error message ...

Thanks for information.
Switching from
programmer = AVRISP mkII
to
programmer = USBtinyISP
solved the problem-
Thanks!
Edit.
To fast with my answer.
Trying to switch between different programmers doesn't solv the problem.
The Arduino IDE can't find the USB-device.
I get the following message:

averdude: Error: Could not find USBtiny device (0x1781/0xc9f)

Some search results on that one:

You can also take a look at some older threads for related issues, e.g. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8922 and viewtopic.php?f=41&t=7893
or hope that someone who's actually using avrdude chimes in and might have an idea.

Otherwise you might be better off asking directly in some Arduino-related forum like the ones linked to above.

That looks like the USB device handler not recognising the characteristics of the programmer when it tries to match a USB device to the list of known ids, and therefore complaining. But I verified: both, the avrdude programme and the udev rules file, know about the USBtiny, and expect it to have 0x1781 and 0x0c9f as provider-id and device-id respectively. That might not be correct, providers may modify these ids when they do important upgrades.

To verify this, I suggest you do lsusb (on a command line, no need to be root - but better do an unplug-replug sequence of your programmer to start with). In the list you obtain in reply, there should be a line that refers to your programmer and which contains these 2 hex values. Not having a USBtiny programmer, I cannot do much more than guesswork.

Some afterthought: make sure you use avrdude version 6.1.-7 - avrdude 6.1 contains quite some re-coding with respect to 5.1 (including USB communication). And, I can confirm that avrdude-6.1 correctly talks to Mageia-5 usb": my jtagice3 is a USB device and works perfectly with avrdude. I have no experience with the USB-2 / USB-3 issues mentioned in one of the references mentioned in this thread - I suggest you try to stick with USB-2.

I checked MCC and avrdude is:

lsusb is giving this result:

and I can see the tinyUSB on the first row.

When I started my laptop this morning avrdude find the USB-device and I could upload the program.
Mybee the problem have to do with the laptop. Because I some times can have the Arduino IDE to work correctly.
Now I know where to look when I get in trouble.
Thanks for help!

FWIW, some other threads mentioned that there are issues with USB3 ports and also with USB hubs, so best try an USB 2.0 port, directly attached.

And please mark the thread accordingly by editing the topic of the first post and prefix it by [DONE], thanks
