Burn bootloader on new 328p

[jeff51]

I bought some new atmega328p chips from DigiKey, no boot loader. I tried burning the boot loader w/ a Genuine UNO and a ZIF hat. Got the "Expected signature for ATmega328P is 1E 95 0F Double check chip, or use -F to override this check.". This set up works for older 328 chips, but not the new 328p. Where can I get a boot burner that works on new 328p chips?

Hi @jeff51. 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:

1. Select File > Preferences... (or Arduino IDE > Settings... for macOS users) from the Arduino IDE menus.
   The "Preferences" dialog will open.
2. 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.
3. Click the "OK" button.
   The "Preferences" dialog will close.
4. Attempt a "Burn Bootloader" operation, just the same as you did before.
5. Wait for the "Burn Bootloader" operation to fail.
6. 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.
7. Open a reply here on this forum topic by clicking the "Reply" button.
8. 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.
   
   
9. Press the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut (Command+V for macOS users).
   This will paste the error output from the upload into the code block.
10. Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
11. Click the "Reply" button to publish the post.

Take a few minutes to look at Nick Gammons' article on burning bootloaders.

I Googled gammon.au burn bootloader.

It's a bit old now, but gives a good insight.

Is that a 328P, or a 328PB - it matters!

This is the chip I am trying to burn:

This is the DigiKey order:

[TwirlyWhirly555]

Seems this is a case of its not a P type given its marked PU and Looking around on the web I found this mentiond a few times ;

" base model ATMega328 (no suffix) and the ATMega328PU, both of which yield a 0x1e9514 signature instead of the expected 0x1E950F "

[van_der_decken]

You have the ATmega328, not the ATmega328P (the pico power version). You wanted

ATMEGA328P-PU | DigiKey Electronics

You can still use the ICs you have. Use the MiniCore coreplatform, and choose the "328 / 328A" variant of "ATmega328".
