Can't Erase or Program 89S52

[JeffreyPeter]

I got a programmer from my college its from Frontline electronics. I can read the flash contents of 89S52 but not able to erase/ write... it fails all the time..
Thanks in advance........

Seeing as it does Phillips AND Atmel... Is there a device configuration setting? They usually have to have different hardware!!

 

[JeffreyPeter]

Its a Atmel programmer ......and I'm using 89S52 but still no success......

 

[Ian Rogers]

Yes I know its an Atmel programmer... But THAT particular one programs Phillips chips as well.... They are completely different devices when programming.... I thought there MUST be a software configuration...

 

[JeffreyPeter]

I can't figure out whats wrong ......our college had two programmers but the same problem persists...

 

[DJ.]

is it showing some kind of error message or is it getting stuck?

 

[JeffreyPeter]

Yes It says "error at line 1" and quits programming........

Can you give me a screen shot..... Are you sure its not the assembler that's failing...
