Well, STK500 and JTAGICE3 are not affected by this bug as they use an alternative method to read the bits since commit r1336. Yet, many other programmers are still affected. See the patch proposal #8996 for possible fix.

Is anything fixed in this regard in 6.3? I just tried STK500 and JTAGICE3 which both read unused lock bits as 1.

This bug is a result of commit r1336, which is a move in the right direction as far as fixing of inconsistent behavior described in bug#21954 goes.

But now we should make the behavior of all other programmers consistent.

Per Atmel recommendation unused bits should be set to 1. They are supposed to read back out of hardware as 1. Therefore the user writing the lock bits should just follow the recommendation and get the correct outcome.

Currently:

@$> avrdude -patmega328p -cstk500v2 -Pusb -e -Ulock:w:0xff:m

yields:

 avrdude: verifying ...
 avrdude: 1 bytes of lock verified


But:

@$> avrdude -patmega328p -cusbtiny -Pusb -e -Ulock:w:0xff:m

yields:

 avrdude: verifying ...
 avrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x0000
          0x3f != 0xff
 avrdude: verification error; content mismatch

 avrdude: safemode: Fuses OK (E:FD, H:DE, L:FF)

 avrdude done. Thank you.


Therefore the lock definition in avrdude.conf should no longer mask reading of unused lock bits the same way as it has already been done for efuse bits with commit r1335 per discussion of bug#22248.

Setting lock bits with avrdude version 6.1 woks as expected while
version 6.2 yields verification error:


  @$> avrdude -patmega328p -cstk500v2 -Pusb -e -Ulock:w:0x3f:m

  [ ... ]

  avrdude: verifying ...
  avrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x0000
           0xff != 0x3f
  avrdude: verification error; content mismatch

  avrdude: safemode: Fuses OK (E:FD, H:DE, L:FF)

  avrdude done.  Thank you.



I'm getting the same regression with both AVRISP mkII and AVR Dragon
programmers on ATmega328p, ATmega32U4 and ATmega2560 microcontrollers.
