Well, all that timeout handling is a mess. A lot of that is probably just heritage from AVRDUDE's 22-year old history.

I wonder whether there's a better way than introducing just another timeout hack^H^H^H^Hsetting though.

The jtagmkII.c code tries to implement a kind of adaptive timeout setting, by doubling the value on missed transactions. Doesn't that already help in your case?

Short of that, maybe we should implement a kind of per-programmer notion of a short vs. long timeout (defaulting to 100 ms / 5 s) that is subsequently be used to toggle between both values. Then, the wavr programmer driver could establish a longer "short" timeout than those 100 ms.

How does that sound?

Thanks for looking over the patch.

From memory, I think the fixed ethernet timeout was required because round-trip times for TCP over WiFi can exceed the low values set by some drivers.

For instance, jtag3.c sets serial_recv_timeout to 100 mS, which is cutting it fine on a moderately congested WiFi connection.

I reviewed the patch, and mostly like it.

What I don't understand is why this SERIAL_ETHERNET_TIMEOUT is needed. The basic idea behind that serial_recv_timeout variable is that individual drivers might override the default. Why can't that also be used for the network traffic here?

Here are a set of patches against trunk which add the following features:

- support for my WiFi-enabled AVR programmer which I’ve just started selling commercially,
- support for uPDI in the jtagmkII protocol (used by the above programmer),
- tweak serial timeout in ser_posix.c/ser_win32.c to be more network-friendly.

The programmer supports ISP, PDI and uPDI using the jtagmkII protocol using the "-p net:<ip-address>:<port>" option. It also supports ISP and PDI over stk500v2, and I may extend that to uPDI later.
