atmega328p burning bootloader

hi guys,

I'm trying to burn the boot loader and eventually program an atmega328p DIP using an arduino nano.
Im running Arduino 1.8.10 and also Mac OS 10.13.4

The atmega328p is wired up like this tutorial, albeit with using a nano rather than an uno.

I'm successfully uploading the ISP sketch to the nano, and then selecting the following options.

Tools - Board - "Atmega328"
Clock 16MHz External (16MHz xtal is connected with caps)
BOD 2.7v
Compiler LTO: LTO disabled.
Variant: 328P/328PA
Bootloader: "Yes UART0"
Port: usb140
Programmer: Arduino as ISP

This is the error message I receive once I attempt to burn the boot loader:

avrdude done.  Thank you.

Error while burning bootloader.

I'm new to burning bootloaders and this is slightly beyond me now, any thoughts tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Hi !

not sure but...

I've seen that in your log

Programmer Type : STK500
Description : Atmel STK500 Version 1.x firmware

avrdude: stk500_getparm(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x14

avrdude: stk500_getparm(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x02

avrdude: stk500_getparm(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x10

STK500 is different than "Arduino as ISP"
or maybe STK500 is how the bootloader burner see "Arduino as ISP"...
maybe you can check it

No it is OK, the STK500v1 is feasible for Arduino as ISP, even the response looks good, but why it is an error if it expects 0x14 and obtains 0x14, I don't know. Something with synchronization?

You can try this tutorial instead. It's not my site, just very good easy to follow info. His main site has a link to microcontrollers and that has links to tutorial blogs on many often discussed Arduino subjects with complete solutions. He shows photos and schematics, does the step by step with explanations and options laid out.

He shows the 328 and the 1284.

Just checking prices and ker-snap! ATMEGA328-PU is $1.95 to ATMEGA328P-PU at $2.14 for 1.

I don't see it shown in the tutorial that you are using, do you have a 10uF capacitor connected between reset and ground on the nano you are using as a programmer?
