I'm coming back to a project from a couple of years ago and i can't get my programmer recognized. I have a 328 in a uno board with a pololu programmer on com8 which identifies as an stk500v2 type programmer. when i try to burn a bootloader(to set fuses) I get a timeout and when i look at the programmer line in the menu ut says no programmers available for this board. The ide is 1.8.13
The list of programmers AFAIK should be populated by the core you installed. Looking at the options, it seems as if you're using MiniCore. In that case the list of programmers should definitely be populated. Have you tried reinstalling this core/board?
(Are you running that 328P off-spec at 20MHz? AFAIK only PB is rated for 20MHz @ 5V but I could be wrong. It's not the cause of your problem.)
The Arduino IDE's handling of the Tools > Programmer menu changed in the time since you were working on your project last:
This change means that each standalone Arduino boards platform must provide its own programmer definitions, as opposed to the old system where all programmers of all installed boards platforms were listed.
The recent versions of MiniCore do define its own programmers, so if you are indeed using MiniCore then you only need to update to the current version:
Thanks. I'm embarrassed to say the chip was in backwards! A fresh chip still shows the "no programmers" but the bootloader burns ok. I believe 20mhz is legit for the 328.(the 328p in the image is just from me poking around).
I will update the minicore and hopefully avoid future confusion.
LOL, good that you solved it and that the chip still lives as well!
Never know that about the 20MHz, but with my stash of 12 & 16MHz crystals I never really paid attention to it I guess. I did notice that today's generation of ATTiny's tends to run at 20MHz even from their internal RC clock - or at least the 3227 I sometimes play with does.
and that the chip still lives as well!
Oh no, that chip has gone to its reward. I don't need any help screwing up a future project.
Oh, and when updated the boards manager the programmers showed up.
Well, that's some good news at least
