I am trying to burn MegaCore ATmega2560 bootloader on my board with the following settings:
BOD: 2.7V
Pinout: AVR pinout
Clock: 20MHz external
Compiler LTO: Disabled
Programmer: Atmel-ICE (AVR)
I have already downloaded the MegaCore files to my "~/Documents/Arduino/hardware" folder, and changed the resonator from 16MHz to 20MHz. However, when I click on Burn Bootloader I get the following error message (I have deleted the directories in front of each line):

Error while burning bootloader.
I have used Atmel ICE in Atmel Studio before, so I know my wiring is correct.
Does anybody know how can I use my Atmel ICE programmer to burn MegaCore bootloader on my board?
The problem is that MegaCore is using an outdated avrdude.conf file that doesn't have the programmer definition for the Atmel ICE programmer. Here's how to fix it:
Open ~/Documents/Arduino/hardware/MegaCore/avr/avrdude.conf with a text editor
Add the following:
programmer
id = "atmelice_isp";
desc = "Atmel-ICE (ARM/AVR) in ISP mode";
type = "jtagice3_isp";
connection_type = usb;
usbpid = 0x2141;
;
Save the file.
After doing that you should be able to burn the bootloader.
I actually copied my Arudino IDE 1.8.1 avrdude.conf file and overwrote the avrdude.conf file in MegaCore folder. Now the error message is reduced down to the following:

That's where I got the Atmel-ICE programmer definition from. That should probably be fine. The reason that MCUdude includes avrdude.conf with his hardware packages is that for some reason the stock avrdude.conf is missing definitions for some microcontrollers and he has to add them. I'm not sure if that was actually the case for MegaCore specifically or if he just did it for consistency with his other cores. Certainly the ATmega2560 is defined in the stock avrdude.conf so that is no problem but it's possible one of the less common parts supported by MegaCore is missing.

What am I doing wrong this time?!!!
I'm not sure, it's certainly progress. I get that same exact error when I try to burn bootloader using Atmel ICE (AVR) programmer with no ICE connected to my computer. I don't own an ICE so I don't know what it would do without.
Can you check the VID/PID of the ICE on your computer to make sure it matches the ones expected? I know you can do this via Device Manager in Windows. I'm not sure what the equivalent is for other operating systems.
It's possible it could be a driver issue. I seem to remember I got a similar error when I was trying to use my Atmel AVRISP mkII after installing the Jungo driver for it that is used by Atmel Studio. I had to install a different driver to get it working with AVRDUDE/Arduino.

So I found my Atmel ICE in Device Manager and it has exactly the same VID that Arduino expects but cannot find it!!!
OK, then look into the driver thing. That seems quite likely since you were previously using it with Atmel Studio. I think it's the libusb driver you need. Traditionally that was libusb-win32 but I've been using libusbK lately and it seems to be better. I use this program to install either: http://zadig.akeo.ie/
The way I ended up doing it was uninstalling Jungo and installing libusb so it's an either avrdude or Atmel Studio sort of thing but there is a way to allow both drivers to be installed and the correct one used for each program. It's explained here: http://www.avrfreaks.net/forum/atmel-ice-avrdude-cannot-find-device
and you'll notice they had the same error message.
markwright041:
Is it safe to do what rx8pilot did in this post?
I haven't done that because I had decided I didn't want to use Atmel Studio anymore because I was only using it for Visual Micro and didn't like it very much so I had no reason to keep the Jungo driver installed but if I was to be switching back and forth between AVRDUDE and Atmel Studio regularly I would definitely figure out how to do that filter thing.
Please let me know when you get MegaCore working with the Atmel ICE and I'll submit a pull request to get the definition added to the avrdude.conf on all his repositories in addition to an arduinoISP definition that's also missing. I'm sure it will work but I don't have the hardware to test so I'd rather have confirmation first.
I tired Zadig with both libusbK and libusb-win32, and they both produce the same results. Using either driver Arduino starts burning the bootloader, but shows a warning at the end!
avrdude: WARNING: invalid value for unused bits in fuse "lock", should be set to 1 according to datasheet
This behaviour is deprecated and will result in an error in future version
You probably want to use 0xcf instead of 0x0f (double check with your datasheet first).
That should be fine. AVRDUDE changed their handling of unused fuse bits in the 6.3 release, which was a big problem because it broke backwards compatibility with settings that previously worked. So Arduino patched it so that it would correctly handle the old values and print that warning message. It's possible that fix will eventually be dropped but when that happens we'll figure out how to make MegaCore handle it correctly.
I tried to upload a sketch and it didn't work! I am using an Adafruit FTDI Friend to upload sketches onto my board.
So I cut the trace to RTS and bridged DTR and added a 100n cap between it and Reset line. Also wired GND, VCC, RX, and TX according to the pinout diagram, but still cannot upload sketches, and board seems to be stuck in bootloader mode! I even swapped the RX,TX lines but still no luck.
Oh, never mind, I got it working. My bad. I thought I could change my board back to Arduino MEGA2560, and upload sketches like before, and that is why it wasn't working.
I just kept my board same as MegaCore2560 with AVRISP mkII as my programmer, and everything works now.
Hello everyone,
I'm in the same situation, I want to restore the bootloader of my Mega through the Atmel-ICE.
I updated the IDE to 1.8.5 and I use AS7 without too much trouble.
But unfortunately after selecting the Atmel-ICE ISPmode I have the following message:
Arduino: 1.8.5 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560, ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)"
avrdude: jtag3_open_common(): Did not find any device matching VID 0x03eb and PID list: 0x2110, 0x2140
Error while burning bootloader.
This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.
Verifying the card driver, however, I find that the VID 0x03eb and PID 0x2140 are correct. :o
@Simone72 if you're going to do that please add links to the other places you posted so we can avoid wasting time due to duplicate effort and also so others with the same problem can easily find all the relevant information.
I managed with Zadig to select a driver that allowed Avrdude to place the bootloader, the problem is to go back ... now AS7 fails to use the ICE
Zadig does not do the reverse and Windows does not restore the right one ... what a mess! >:(
I want to keep AS7 in order to study it and make it debugging via JTAG, now I can not use the ICE.
