Arduino with Debian

[petty]

Hi everyone
I have Arduino clone ELEGOO UNO R3 and it has Atmega16U2 programmer with Atmega328p 28 Dip chip. I have an issue using Arduino under Debian Linux. I haven't tried under win or mac either.

/home/petty/.arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/avrdude/6.3.0-arduino17/bin/avrdude -C/home/petty/.arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/avrdude/6.3.0-arduino17/etc/avrdude.conf -v -pm328p -carduino -P/dev/ttyACM0 -b115200 -D -Uflash:w:/tmp/arduino_build_808690/Blink.ino.hex:i

I tried with different baud rates -b19200 and -b57600 and
-carduinoisp -carduinoisp -carduinoisporg -cavrisp -cavrisp2

         Use -P usb:bus:device

avrdude done.  Thank you.

how do we use -Pusb:001:007

avrdude: Error: Could not find USBtiny device (0x2341/0x49)

avrdude done.  Thank you.

Looks like you're trying to upload using programmer which is via the ICSP header (the 6 pin header at the side of the board, not the one next to the USB).

Why? I guess the confusion comes from the below

@petty

it has Atmega16U2 programmer

That's not a programmer, it's the TTL-to-USB converter.

For a normal upload via USB to an Uno, the command should look like below; this is for a windows system, you'll have to translate for linux.

"C:\Users\yourUsername\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\avrdude\6.3.0-arduino17/bin/avrdude" "-CC:\Users\yourUsername\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\avrdude\6.3.0-arduino17/etc/avrdude.conf" -v  -patmega328p -carduino "-PCOM37" -b115200 -D "-Uflash:w:C:\Users\yourUsername\AppData\Local\Temp\arduino-sketch-D31A7FD5D7575C0758DA028A5C8DABA7/double2float.0.3.ino.hex:i"

The relevant part: -patmega328p -carduino "-PCOM37" -b115200

[petty]

@petty

-pm328p -carduino -P/dev/ttyACM0 -b115200

If I try to use those parameters I still get these errors

Is it possible to check Atmega16U2 TTL-to-USB converter If it works?

[sterretje]

Yes, use the loopback test descibed in this section of the forum.

Did you configure your user permissions as directed in the Linux installation instructions?

I used the install.sh from Linux Mint GUI rather than the console which should not matter but I have completed this numerous times on multiple hardware. I did not have to install using sudo.

Maybe retrace your steps from this guide:
How to Install Arduino IDE on Debian 10 - VITUX

[Budvar10]

But the problem is also under W7 and it looks like the board is visible there. It is something with the bootloader or HW.
I would try loop-back test as sterretje wrote.

ELEGOO UNO R3 and it has Atmega16U2

I do not have an ELEGOO but since it has a 16U2, That chip is the USB interface for the board. This means, when you jack the USB into your PC, a Windows driver is invoked via the plug&play Windows interface. The driver then provides the necessary software connection to mimic a Com port... said Com port if correctly enumerated will appear in your Device Manager utility.
Microsoft also provides other utilities: USBview being one:

Everything works under Debian just like this Loop-Back Test Instructions

same thing with windows 7 also drivers are all loaded properly. But same error

[/code]At the end I took off all the connection jumpers as usual. Reset-GND, TX-RX
I just tried with the Original Arduino Uno from the old project everything works fine. I think there is something wrong with the drivers or Elegoo device.

[Budvar10]

Drivers should be the same. There is the same USB/serial - ATmega16U2. Its FW is the only thing it could be different. How it comes that it works with lnx? A cable or some another trivial thing?
Anyway, if it works under Debian so the next step could be the bootloader. Check it again with e.g. the blink sketch. Be sure your settings are correct.
If it will not work, you can replace the bootloader with Arduino as ISP. Use the original Arduino UNO. Or, you can interchange Atmega328P MCUs between them to see what happen.

[petty]

I mean Loop-Back Test works for the both operating systems Debian and Win. I going to try Arduino as an ISP and load a Bootloader. I think your statement is reasonable. I have a CH340g usb stick with 8 yellow female plugging. Could it be used as an ISP?

pins.

[Budvar10]

No. It is USB/serial transceiver. You need USBasp board or similar, or just use another Arduino. There is tutorial on this site.

[petty]

Yes, Thank you. it works now. https://docs.arduino.cc/built-in-examples/arduino-isp/ArduinoISP I did it as it here describes. One last question is it possible to flash bootloaders ft232 and ch340g chipsets?

[Budvar10]

Great!
I don’t understand. What is about USB/serial chips and the bootloader? There is no bootloader in FT232 and CH340.

[petty]

which chip did we flash during Arduino Elegoo for the bootloader? Atmega16U2 or Atmega328p. I thought ft232 and ch340g doing same thing as Atmega16U2 does.

[b707]

@petty

which chip did we flash during Arduino Elegoo for the bootloader?

the answer is

@petty

Atmega328p

[petty]

@petty

Atmega328p

and during serial interface the loopback test? My questions can be awful sorry about that.
