I've this message while trying to upload the hex file :

avrdude: invalid file format 'arduinooscillo.cpp.hex' in update
specifier
avrdude: error parsing update operation
'flash:w:c:arduinooscillo.cpp.hex'

hey!

Are you using a very old version of avrdude?
I'd try renaming the file to arduinooscillo.hex, probably the ".cpp"
part if confusing your avrdude

Let me know how it goes!

I had to change my command line to be able to achieve a successful
upload as below :

C:\Users\Arnaud\Desktop\arduino-0021\hardware\tools\avr\bin>avrdude -c
stk500v1
-p m328p -P com6 -b 115200 -U flash:w:arduinooscillo.hex -C ..\etc
\avrdude.conf

I have an Arduino UNO. Don't know why I couldn't use c:
\arduinooscillo.hex as filename ...

After that I tried the exe file without success, the application hang.

yeah I notice that avrdude cannot handle underscores in the firmware
name....

Is it still hanging? Were you able to flash other firmwares
successfully?

I can upload the firmware successfully since last time. The problem is
now the .exe application which hang (Win 7 x64 here)

You might want to check what your trigger condition is and apply some
signal that meets that condition, otherwise the arduino is sitting
there and if it does it for too long the pc side crashes
