Libuse for communication through C232HM

Question

I have a problem with communication with Atmega644P. I am using C232HM Cable and avrdude. Unfortunately, every attempt of communication ends with the following comment from the command prompt: avrdude: Error: no libftdi or libusb support. Install libftdi1/libusb-1.0 or libftdi/libusb and run configure/make again. I installed following driver from Zadig 2.5: WinUSB (v6.1.7600.16385) and the error still occurs. What should I do?

Answer 1

To get past that error message, you have to do what it says: install the library that AVRDUDE needs and then build AVRDUDE from source in a way that it detects the library and uses it. But I am not sure exactly what you are trying to do and I cannot be sure that this will ultimately work for you. If you haven't built code from sourt before, it can be a challenge.

You never said how you installed AVRDUDE, but you might try downloading a binary version from a different place before you attempt to compile it yourself. The Arduino IDE comes with a version of AVRDUDE, and there is also an AVRDUDE package in MSYS2 (which I contributed).
