Problem: after flashing a firmware that reduces the target's clock
speed (e.g. through the @code{CLKPR} register), further ISP connection
attempts fail.
Solution: Even though ISP starts with pulling @var{/RESET} low, the
target continues to run at the internal clock speed as defined by the
firmware running before. Therefore, the ISP clock speed must be
reduced appropriately (to less than 1/4 of the internal clock speed)
using the -B option before the ISP initialization sequence will
succeed.
As that slows down the entire subsequent ISP session, it might make
sense to just issue a @emph{chip erase} using the slow ISP clock
(option @code{-e}), and then start a new session at higher speed.
Option @code{-D} might be used there, to prevent another unneeded
erase cycle.
