Hello guys,
I have build a simple AVR programmer
(AVR Programmer).
Can i use this to burn the arduino bootloader on my atmega168 chip using the arduino 0018 software itself ?
I am using Serial version of arduino...
I am pretty sure that the answer would be a "no". I think from within the IDE the programmer support is quite limited.
But you should be able to burn bootloader using avrdude though.
Is there any tutorial for the same ?
Yes - and there are even windows GUIs for that. Google/Yahoo... is your friend.
I got my Atmega168 from on of the dealer of arduino.
Now i am having some other problem...
I am facing problems in uploading the sketch...
I have the troubleshooting guide.. tried all the options provided, but still unsuccessful...
Operating System: Windows XP
Arduino Board: Serial
Controller: Atmega168
I am geeting an error which says this:
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51
Please help !
Do you know for sure that you have bootloader on the chip? It looks like the PC is not communicating with the chip.
I called the dealer and asked for a solution... He replaced the chip with a new one...
But when he tried to program the chip, using my hardware, the same error appeared.
So now, i have a problem with my hardware (i think so)... Bcoz, i tested the board with the bootloader default blinking LED program on D13 and it works well but while programming the chip i get the same error....
I have used the transistor version of the Arduino Serial Board...
How can i debug my problem ?

Well you have to determine if you have a good serial link back and forth to the PC.
- Remove the processor chip for this test.
- wire a jumper from pin 0 to pin 1. This will cause a loop-back connection.
- Launch the Arduino IDE, select the proper comm port number.
- click on the Arduino serial monitor, anything you type and send in the transmit window should be echoed back into the receive window.
- If you don't see data coming back, time for a scope to see which direction the serial data is failing.

@retrolefty
Which pins (pin 0 & pin 1) are you talking about ? I checked schematic but i could not get pin 0 and pin 1 labeled anywhere !

I will check it and let you know !

I'm talking about the standard Arduino pin connectors that have pin 0 and pin 1. If you do not use standard arduinon connectors then pins 2 and 3 of the processor chip.

okay i got it now...
I ll do the said and let u know !
