Re: timeouts on USB ISP programmer

Mystery solved ;-)

For avrdude `-P` parameter defines the the programmer port __BUT__ (as
obviously stated in man page) if you use `usb:` device then you need
to provide programmer SERIAL NUMBER last bytes not the OS serial port
device ;-)

If you run avrdude with `-vvv` switch then you get increased
verbosity. It will tell you what it found. You will notice that it
found a device that matches VID:PID pair but not Serial NUMBER of the
device (not the port) ;-)

Details here: https://github.com/avrdudes/avrdude/issues/920

Because avrdude keeps all its Programmer and Target definitions in a
configuration file it is possible to define completely new Programmer
and Target MCU with a simple commands in `~/.avrduderc` (see
`/usr/local/etc/avrdude.conf` for reference).

It is also possible to build the port with `cd
/usr/ports/devel/avrdude; make WITH_DEBUG=1; make reinstall` to obtain
binary that can be easily debugged with `lldb` (btw I just discovered
`gui` option). `usbhid_open()` and/or `usbdev_open()` is the place
where VID:PID and serial is handled.

I hope that helps move things forward :-)
