Cant bootload ATMEGA328PU-TH

[RyanAES]

So i am at my wits end with this as i have never had problems with boot loading before.. I made some pcbs with the chip on the subject title above and cant for the life of me upload a bootloader via arduino as isp.

I am using an arduino nano in order to do this but i get an error even when using minicore, I posted similar subject on the wrong thread so hopefully i wont get in to bother for this, Anyway this is the chip that is currently on my board:

Microchip Tech|Microchip Tech ATMEGA328P-AU|ATMEL & AVR|LCSC.

I have never used these chips before as i am used to the chips on the uno ATMEGA328P U.
Whatever the difference between these two microcontrollers i just cant seem to boot load the AU version successfully!

I decided to test each pcb against each other and found two of the pcbs had 5 volts coming from the MOSI pin of the microcontroller so decided to sit those to the side although i still cannot upload the bootloader successfully, I decided to order another version the atmega chip ATMEGA328-AU which is without the P, Could it be the chips themselves due to having different signatures? I will post a picture of my schematic below which also could be the error.

avrdude done.  Thank you.

You have a second SPI device on the bus (mcp2515) and it's chip select is controlled by an atmega pin, which will be floating, there is no pull-up/down resistor there that I can see. So could the mcp chip be interfering with the bus?

Have you taken onboard the suggestions from your other thread?

I would suggest you implement what was advised in #1 and #2 as a starter.

I'm guessing (judging by the value that you've assigned to it) that the component L1 between the RESET and VCC was meant to be a resistor, rather than an inductor?

In the designs I've seen, AREF generally has a 100n capacitor to GND.

You will not want to use the 328. The 328P (the one in your link) is the right one, and it's the one found on the Uno, Nano and Pro Mini. From other threads, it's not clear the Arduino IDE will even work as is with the 328.

Have you made sure your Uno as ISP will successfully flash a bootloader to something else?

ShermanP:

Yes, it works fine. You can select 328 or 328P with minicore.

But changing to use 328 instead of 328P will not help the OP. The problem for the OP is jumping into the deep end of the pool before learning to swim.
