Hello i have an Arduino UNO R4 WiFi, i want to use it as a bootloader burner to burn it to my Freaduino UNO, is it possible?
Hi @itz_g3ermox. Yes, you can use the UNO R4 WiFi or UNO R4 Minima board as a programmer to burn the bootloader to your 3rd party UNO R3 clone/derivative board.
The procedure is slightly different from how it would be when using an UNO R3 or other AVR board as the programmer. I'll provide instructions for doing it:
ⓘ In the instructions below, the board used as an "Arduino as ISP" is referred to as the "programmer board". The board the bootloader is being burned on is referred to as the "target board".
A. Prepare "Arduino as ISP" programmer
-
Disconnect the USB cables of the Arduino boards from your computer.
-
Make the following connections between the pins on the "programmer board" and the "target board".
Programmer Target 10 reset 12 SPI CIPO (AKA "MISO") 5V 5 V 13 SPI SCK 11 SPI COPI (AKA "MOSI") GND ground ⓘ The documentation for the target board will identify the location of these pins. If you are using an official Arduino board, check the pinout diagram on the documentation page for the board.
-
Connect the "programmer board" to your computer with a USB cable.
-
Select File > Examples > 11.ArduinoISP > Arduino ISP from the Arduino IDE menus.
The "ArduinoISP" sketch will open in Arduino IDE. -
Add the following line at the top of the "ArduinoISP" sketch:
#define USE_OLD_STYLE_WIRING -
Select your "programmer board" from Arduino IDE's Tools > Board menu.
-
Select the port of your "programmer board" from Arduino IDE's Tools > Port menu.
-
Select Sketch > Upload from the Arduino IDE menus.
-
Wait for the upload to finish.
You are now ready to burn the bootloader using your "Arduino as ISP" programmer.
B. Burn Bootloader
Instructions for burning the bootloader:
ⓘ It is not possible to do this via "Arduino Web Editor". You will need to use Arduino IDE or Arduino CLI.
- Select the "target board" from the Tools > Board menu, and any other custom Tools menus (e.g., Tools > Processor).
- Select Tools > Programmer > Arduino as ISP (ATmega32U4) from the Arduino IDE menus.
- Select Tools > Burn Bootloader from the Arduino IDE menus.
- Wait for the process to finish successfully.
- Disconnect the USB cable of the "programmer board" from your computer.
- Disconnect the "programmer board" from the "target board".

Which version of Arduino IDE are you using (e.g., "2.0.1")? The version is shown on the window title bar and also in the dialog that opens when you select Help > About (or Arduino IDE > About Arduino IDE for macOS users) from the Arduino IDE menus.
I ask for this information because I want to give you the appropriate instructions for the IDE version you are using.
I have deleted your other cross-post @itz_g3ermox.
Cross-posting is against the Arduino forum rules. The reason is that duplicate posts can waste the time of the people trying to help. Someone might spend a lot of time investigating and writing a detailed answer on one topic, without knowing that someone else already did the same in the other topic.
Repeated cross-posting can result in a suspension from the forum.
In the future, please only create one topic for each distinct subject matter. This is basic forum etiquette, as explained in the "How to get the best out of this forum" guide. It contains a lot of other useful information. Please read it.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
I'm going to ask you to provide the full verbose output from a "Burn Bootloader" operation.
This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information.
Please do this:
- Select File > Preferences... (or Arduino IDE > Settings... for macOS users) from the Arduino IDE menus.
The "Preferences" dialog will open. - Check the box next to Show verbose output during: ☐ upload in the "Preferences" dialog.
ⓘ This preference applies to "Burn Bootloader" operations in addition to uploads. - Click the "OK" button.
The "Preferences" dialog will close. - Attempt a "Burn Bootloader" operation, just the same as you did before.
- Wait for the "Burn Bootloader" operation to fail.
- You will see a "Error while burning the bootloader: ..." notification at the bottom right corner of the Arduino IDE window. Click the "COPY ERROR MESSAGES" button in that notification.
- Open a forum reply here by clicking the "Reply" button.
- Click the
<CODE/>icon on the post composer toolbar.
This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.
- Press the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut (Command+V for macOS users).
This will paste the error output from the upload into the code block. - Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
- Click the "Reply" button to post the output.

now its giving other error
ok so on the arduino uno which to i need to burn the bootloader the TX LED blinks when the attempts are running and i get this error:

You didn't correctly follow step (2) from the " Burn Bootloader" instructions I provided in post #2:
I can see from the output that you selected Tools > Programmer > Arduino as ISP from the Arduino IDE menus instead of Tools > Programmer > Arduino as ISP (ATmega32U4) as I specified.
Select the correct programmer from the Tools > Programmer menu and then try again.
i get this error:

ok so i found the problem i forgot to change the Arduino as ISP and the Arduino UNO to which i needed to burn the bootloader.
Congratulations on finding the cause of the problem! I'm glad it is working now. Thank you for taking the time to post an update.
