Hi,

I have some Duemilanove I want to give a bootloader that support the avr watchdog feature.

I found that adaboot fixes this compared to that standard boot loader.

I though get this whenever i try to install the new boot loader

avrdude -p m168 -c avrisp -P /dev/tty.usbserial-A700e1ay -b 57600 -F -U flash:w:ATmegaBOOT_xx8_adaboot328.hex 

avrdude: AVR device initialized and ready to accept instructions

avrdude: Expected signature for ATMEGA168 is 1E 94 06
avrdude: NOTE: FLASH memory has been specified, an erase cycle will be performed

avrdude done.  Thank you.

I did try other booloaders and they have same problem.

I have OS X.

Now I got this

avrdude -c arduino -B 1 -p m328p -P /dev/tty.usbserial-A9007VJJ -U flash:w:ATmegaBOOT_xx8_adaboot328.hex  -b 57600 -F -D

Try it with larger values for B, like -B 10 etc. This will slow down the process of writing/reading and might help.

Edit: are you trying to upload a new bootloader using the current bootloader in the chip? That can't work!

Hi,

Got it running via,

avrdude -p m328p -c avrisp -P /dev/tty.usbserial-A700e08D -b 19200 -F -U flash:w:ATmegaBOOT_xx8_adaboot328.hex

I am uploading via the ArduinoISP....
