Flowcode Support Board

Unfortunately I've lost the AVR Toolchain, which is part of my Licence.
Now I have tried to reinstall it but I was nor successful.
It shows either - AVR Toolchain is not installed
or - You do not have the Licence to perform this action
What shall I do now ?
Thanks for help

Did you try to install the AVR toolchain download that is available as a download from your Flowcode account page?
https://www.flowcode.co.uk/accounts/

In what way was is unsuccessful? Did you get error messages during the installation process?

After installing that toolchain, you should run Flowcode and open the global options. In the "locations" tab, there will be a list of the installed toolchains and your AVR installation should be listed. If it is not listed there, you can enter the correct location manually.

Hopefully that will solve your problem. Please let me know if it doesn't.

Thanks
Now I did exactly step by step as you suggested. I can see under Global Settings Location that the AVR Toolchain is installed properly now. But when I try to send under Build a AVR file to the target, then appear the message :
You do not have the licence to perform this action.
Please help again
Thanks

Which chip are you using as your target? And what licences are shown in the "Licensing" screen?

My Target is a ATMEGA 168
and my Lizence No is 38396505 wich includes the AVR and the RPI Toolchain.
Thanks for help

I would advise that you reinstall Flowcode, the error message should not change between two different ones.

Your licence does have AVR added, you can try reapplying your licence by going to "Licensing >> Manage" and typing in your username and password again. Then if you go to "Licensing >> View" you should see the AVR as being added.

As for the toolchain not being installed, i would advise you uninstall all versions of the AVR tool chain (there are two, v8 and v9 versions). Using Program removal via Windows. Then reinstalling the AVR Toolchain downloaded here:

https://flowcode.co.uk/download/file/do ... _AVRv5.msi

Now I have a new situation after having removed the AVR Toolchain and reinstalled it again. Now I get the error message :

avrdude.exe: Error: Could not find USBtiny device (0x1781/0xc9f)
avrdude.exe done. Thank you.

after having given the command to compile my AVR file to the target.

I do not dare to completely reinstall the Flowcode file, because a had a very big job till it was working properly especially together with ESP devices.
Thanks

It sounds like the original issue has been solved - you can now compile ok. The error reported by avrdude is indicating it cannot find your USBtiny device, so perhaps it is not connected, or the parameters to avrdude are wrong.

Can you please post the complete msg.txt file.

This is my message text.
It is possible, that the target device I'm using is not compatible to Flowcode.
It is a development board with an embedded Atmega 168 released by FRANZIS about 10 years ago.
But I also have a Atmega 168 as a single chip microcontroller as it is shown in your library.
But this means, I would need a Atmega Programmer Interface Device. Could you please give any hints or links to devices
siutable to Flowcode. Tutorials are also helpfull.
Thanks for help

A search on the internet leads me to this:
https://www.elektronik-labor.de/AVR/AVRdude.html

Is this any help?
