Description: With avrdude-6.2.1 I cannot upload files to the Arduino (no TX/Rx LEDs) but if I rollback to 6.1.1 it works fine.


Additional info:
* package version(s) avrdude-6.2.1 x86_64
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce: Load arduino software, browse "File menu" for "Examples" -> "Basic". Try to upload any of these files to the Arduino and it fails with trap errors in dmesg as attached.
   dmesg - avrdude-6.2.1 (2.1 KiB)
This task depends upon

Do you see anything in console. Is it the same bug?

If not please send your question upstream maillist.

I cannot determine if this is the same error, but I encounter the same thing with 6.2 whereas 6.1 works.
This dmesg entry seems to indicate a divide by zero:

[43671.166094] traps: avrdude[11195] trap divide error ip:442b32 sp:7ffc14e66a60 error:0 in avrdude[400000+6a000]

@Anatol I think the bugs you refer to are the same. Thank you for your time.

Kindly note that after the upgrade of avrdude to version 6.2 I cannot upload anything to Arduino Uno and Mega.
The error in dmesg is the same like the ones above:

avrdude[22189] trap divide error ip:442b32 sp:7ffd7b8749e0 error:0 in avrdude[400000+6a000]
Downgrading avrdude to 6.1 works ok.

I can reproduce this issue and it's caused by the mentioned ticket http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?46483#discussion

Still no any feedback from upstream. I am going to revert it back to 6.1. It will be in [testing] soon.
Comment by Anatol Pomozov (anatolik) - Wednesday, 09 December 2015, 21:12 GMT
Please put pressure to upstream to fix this bugs and release working version of avrdude.

I want to bring your attention that avrdude-6.3 just hit [testing]. That release suppose to fix the problem above. Please give it a shot and let us know if 6.3 works for you.

There are no complains with 6.3. Assume it is fixed.
