The technique of modifying the avrdude.conf file to load the bootloader on this MCU worked flawlessly using Ardunio-22. THANKS TEN TONS!!!!BUT, is there a way to modify another settings file (maybe boards.txt???) to allow uploading of sketches to this chip with the Arduino programming interface? I get the same error that occurs when trying to load the bootloader to this chip with an unmodified avrdude.conf file...
I did modify the boards.txt file, noting a 328 chip (vs. 328p), but the sketch won't compile.
See my last posting on: Trouble burning the bootloader to Atmega328-PU - #7 by retrolefty - Microcontrollers - Arduino Forum
Once you have a arduino bootloader installed on a non p 328 chip, you need no further modifications to any arduino files to compile and upload to the chip from the arduino IDE.
