Atmega32A programming with arduino

esemve · April 28, 2021, 3:36pm

Hello!

I'm trying programming my atmega32A with my arduino uno and arduino ide 1.8.13 on linux mint. I found this https://www.instructables.com/Burning-Arduino-Bootloader-to-Atmega-32A-PU-Using-/ and the bootloader is burning but after i can't upload any program to the Atmega32A. Anybody have a good guess what is the problem? I want to use with 16mhz external oscillator the chip, but it wrong with 8mhz internal settings too.

I checked the pins many times, not the christal and not the arduiono as an isp pinout is a problem.

Bootloader burning output:

avrdude done.  Thank you.

But if i'm trying upload a sketch:

avrdude: Expected signature for ATmega32 is 1E 95 02
         Double check chip, or use -F to override this check.

I choose the good settings for the MightyCore so Atmega32, external 16Mhz, Bod 2.7v, Standard pinout, Arduino as isp programmer.

Thx you for your help!

Please post the full output. It should say which signature was detected. That information can be useful for identifying the problem.

esemve · April 28, 2021, 3:48pm

A vázlat 1004 bájt (3%)-ot használ a program tárhelyből. A maximum 32256 bájt.

There is no more information about what is the detected signature. Can i found any more about this in any log file?

pert · April 28, 2021, 3:53pm

I order to gather more information that might help us to troubleshoot your problem, I'm going to ask you to post the full output from the upload when in verbose mode.

Please do this:

Select File > Preferences from the Arduino IDE's menus.
Uncheck the checkbox next to Show verbose output during: compilation
Check the checkbox next to Show verbose output during: upload.
Click the OK button.
Attempt an upload, as you did before.
After the upload fails, you'll see a button on the right side of the orange bar Copy error messages. Click that button. This copies the full output to the clipboard.
Paste the copied upload output, using code tags as you have been (thanks!).

I see this bootloader is for the Atmega328p but i dont understand, i selected the atmega32 from the boards and after clicked to burn button.

How do you have the ATmega32A connected to your computer?

esemve · April 28, 2021, 4:04pm

Exactly like this

pert · April 28, 2021, 4:18pm

OK. I see they neglected to provide instructions for uploading in that tutorial. The problem is that you're using the standard "Upload" process. With your current configuration of the board, that expects that you have a USB to serial adapter (AKA "FTDI") connected to Arduino pins 0 and 1 on the ATmega32A. But you don't have that. Instead, you have an Uno connected to the computer, so it's trying to upload to the Uno. In this configuration, you can upload via the IDE's Sketch > Upload Using Programmer.

However, MightyCore allows you to configure the board for even more convenient usage of the ATmega32A in this situation:

Select Tools > Board > Bootloader > No bootloader from the Arduino IDE's menus. This will do two things:
- Configure the board definition to not reserve any space in the flash memory for a boot section. Since you aren't using a bootloader, that would only be a waste of precious memory.
- Configure the Arduino IDE so that the "Upload" button actually does an "Upload Using Programmer". This is convenient.
Tools > Burn Bootloader. This will set the fuses on the ATmega32A for no bootloader.

Now you can just click the "Upload" button to do an upload.
