I wanted some clarity on the combination because what I found was that 1.0.6 does not like the 328 used in conjunction with an Uno board type selection. The result is a not in sync error. Later version IDE’s do not do this, they will fail and report the invalid chip signature.
ahh, good for those later IDEs then.
yeah - i was really underinformed by the 1.0.5 as well then.
avr_fred:
In this situation, 1.0.6 will download if the Duemilanove board type is selected along with the 328 chip type which needs to see a chip signature of 1E 95 14.This does not appear to agree with you’ve said so I’m now questioning the chip you’re calling a 328. Do you know what the chip signature is as returned by avrdude? Or, your board identifier tool? The picture you posted in #11 is not a 328, it is clearly a 328P as the signature is 1E 95 05.
yeah sorry - my post in Reply #11 wasn't clear enough then.
i was already swapping chips in and out, just (mindlessly) documenting (thinking i'd look back at them carefully later when less 'stressed' (!) ), and i probably uploaded the wrong image for that post at the time.
the signatures are correct as you have outlined ... 14 vs. ... 05 - (sorry to harp on it again, but this was all in that "saga" thread)
i basically found the solution to "handling" the 328_ chip based on the information on these two threads;

and
http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=58670.0
hopefully that clears up any gaps on this thread for anybody with the same problem in the future.
should i edit the topic Subject to reflect a better parameter for other ppl's searches ?
