AVRDUDE 6.x does not yet support the MTX1S. A working patched version
can be found at

http://www.mattairtech.com/software/avrdude_6.0.1_patched_windows.zip

Thanks to Larry Viesse. For support on Linux 64bit, download

http://www.mattairtech.com/software/avrdude_6.0.1_patched_Linux_64.zip

For support on other Linux (especially with xhci (USB 3.0)), replace the usb_libusb.c file from
6.0.1 with

http://www.mattairtech.com/software/usb_libusb.c

●

If you are having problems communicating with the programmer using Atmel Studio 6.x,

download the Zadig USB driver manager at

http://zadig.akeo.ie/

Under options, List All Devices. The AVRISP mkII should show up in the list. Replace the

current driver with libusbwin32 (v1.2.6.0), which comes embedded with Zadig.
Alternatively, please use the procedure at
