avrdebug.exe binary for Windows - please compile...

[Anon]

Could someone please compile and provide for downloading the avrdebug.exe (Windows binary) from the avr-doper package? Installing the whole gcc toolchain just for building a single small program is, well, a bit too much for me

Thanks a lot in advance!

Don't know whether avrdebug will run on Windows, since it uses libusb for connecting to a HID compliant device. This could result in a driver conflict.

Any Windows experts out there? We need to attach two applications to the same device, one using the HID interface, the other plain control transfers on endpoint 0 to query the debug data.

I tried it myself. Well, it seems to work. Sorry, I'm in no way a guru (that's why I asked for someone to do that), but here's what I did:

Installed MingW, installed libusb-win32, tried to compile, couldn't determine where to get date- and time-related functions in avrdebug code, commented them out, replaced a call to usleep(100000) by the call to Sleep(100) and it compiled.

It seems to work - I can program and receive debug messages from the same device... If there is a "real guru" who could compile it properly - it would still be great to have a downloadable .EXE from the original code...

Sorry, forgot to say that I've only tried it in CDC mode, not HID (but that's good enough already for programming from AVR Studio)...

CDC or HID, Windows attaches a class driver to the device in both cases. In order to run avrdebug, you would have to attach a second (device specific) driver, in this case the libusb driver. I don't know Windows driver development well enough to tell how this can be done.

I have not tried it, though. Maybe it just works...
