also tried a 120ohm resistor between reset and 5V.
The error that I get in both cases is:
"C:\Arduino\arduino-1.0\hardware\arduino\cores\arduino/Arduino.h:212:26: error: pins_arduino.h: No such file or directory"
looks like I have missed something. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
I was trying to upload a sketch to a blank atmega328. I'll reinstall and have another go. I have been able to upload other sketches but just not via arduino as ISP. I was thinking it was something, maybe to do with the "atmega on breadboard (8Mhx internal clock)" board file that was installed i.e. the breadboard.zip. When I looked at it I didn't see anything that referenced arduinoISP, this is what it is:
##############################################################
atmega328bb.name=ATmega328 on a breadboard (8 MHz internal clock)
Hi John
thanks for your last comment. Still learning this environment and now see what you mean. I've reinstalled everything and makes not different but it is a verify/compile issue not upload.
This time tried with blink example code (no changes and just used everything as described). Here is the error
C:\Arduino\arduino-1.0\hardware\tools\avr\bin\avr-g++ -c -g -Os -Wall -fno-exceptions -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -mmcu=atmega328p -DF_CPU=8000000L -DARDUINO=100 -IC:\Arduino\arduino-1.0\hardware\arduino\cores\arduino C:\DOCUME~1\User\LOCALS~1\Temp\build3115065296870135004.tmp\Blink.cpp -oC:\DOCUME~1\User\LOCALS~1\Temp\build3115065296870135004.tmp\Blink.cpp.o
In file included from Blink.cpp:8:
C:\Arduino\arduino-1.0\hardware\arduino\cores\arduino/Arduino.h:212:26: error: pins_arduino.h: No such file or directory
can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this issue?
OK take another go at this and it definitely the board selection. choosing the uno instead of the Atmega328 on breadboard verifies/compiles so there is something happening with the setting of this board (Atmega328 on breadboard ).
Hi Erni
looks like the pins_arduino.h files are there but not in the location you are talking about. In ...arduino-1.0\hardware\arduino\variants there are several folders (eightanaloginputs, leonardo, mega, micro and standard) each of these has a pins_arduino.h
This looks right to me, but I am not expert.
Hi Karl_b
thanks for that, tried what you said and added that line to boards but made not difference
Deleted the boards from from my sketchbook location and appended the boards information to the boards.txt file in ...arduino-1.0\hardware\arduino (not sure that its good practice but ...)
This compiled so that was good news. But still was not uploading properly. So I compared the information with Attiny code that uses the arduino as ISP and noticed that "Atmega328 on breadboard" that this line "atmega328bb.upload.protocol=stk500" seemed strange to me so I replaced it with "atmega328bb.upload.using=arduino:arduinoisp", which is what we are doing.
This worked so I'm very happy with. So here is my boards information for AtMega328 on breadboard(8Mhz internal clock), thanks for you help Karl_b great to get jigwas together.
If anyone can see any problems with this let me know.
hah! I just posted about the same problem. Apparently the boards.txt loading from sketchbook/hardware folder is broken. Works fine in 022, broken in 1.0
Sounds like you created a new folder under the hardware folder to contain your new boards.txt file. In order for the compiler to find the right arduino_pins.h header is for the build.variant line to look like this:
atmega328bb.build.variant=arduino:standard
By the way, that baud rate has to match the baud used by the ArduinoISP sketch (mine came set to 19200). Trying high baud rates created new problems with data overruns. You might also want to find your programmers.txt file and set the baud for ArduinoISP there too.
Here is the whole board description for my mega328p running at 20MHz on a breadboard:
MWB20MHz.name=ATmega328 on a breadboard (20 MHz external clock)

Docedison:
Did you get the millis / micros() issue fixed? and is it possible that you'd be willing to make the boot code available?
Doc
I think you are asking me, forgive me if I'm mistaken. This isn't my thread and I don't want to hijack it. I'll tail onto the thread I started with details on where I'm at with this. It's the "pages aren't erased" thread.
No it was the 20 MHz bootloader I was interested in, You sharing your work... But I'll not hijack it or the thread I can wait until it comes by again..

Ok, the bootloader was no big deal, I just added some stuff to the Makefile and compiled it. I didn't do anything to the source itself. I'll post it in the other thread. I haven't even had a chance to really test it, but I know it loads and runs. I don't have an FTDI cable like I need to program it, so I have just been using ArduinoISP to flash it. That wiped the bootloader out the first time it erased the chip. It was doing its thing though.
