There was a bug in the USBasp firmware which caused timeouts on some systems. It is fixed in usbasp.2006-12-29 which you can download from http://www.fischl.de/usbasp/

I've downgraded to usbasp.2005-11-14.hex.
The write speed increased to 5.5 kbyte/s :)

I suppose the problem is not directly an error in the AVRDUDE part. It seems that something with hardware, firmware, kernel or lib-usb goes wrong. Does this timeout also occur with older firmware versions like usbasp.2005-11-14?

There were some reports that long usb cable cause read or write failures. Perhaps you can test it with a short usb cable!

Howdy folks,
I've just put together this usbasp programmer (mega8, xtal, and
 some cables).

I see good read speeds (6 kbyte/s), but the write speed seems to
be 'wrong' (40 byte/s).

I get this message in the kernel log every 5 seconds:

kernel: usb 2-2.2: avrdude timed out on ep0out len=200/200

This timeout does not cause any data problems! (Verify is OK)

I think something is wrong with the function usbasp_transmit in
the file usbasp.c. It seems that the call to usb_control_msg()
is the one that times out after 5000 ms.

I can increase the write speed by lowering the timeout value,
but I don't think thats the right way to do it.


I did the test on x86 linux 2.6.15 with an intel uhci and libusb-0.1.12.

The programmer runs the usbasp.2006-09-16.hex firmware.
