Can't burn a bootloader anymore

Development Tools Uploading
1

Hello,

I can't burn a bootloader no matter what i do. A few years back i did it all the time.
I checked my connections over and over again so im confident that thats not the problem.
I understand this is a vage problem but i wonder if there are more people with the same problem.
Can anyone please give me a hint?

I tried on ubuntu as well as windows, with different arduino's and different 328p-pu chips, on breadboard as well as fromn arduino to arduino, i even tried the older IDE 1.6 but i still don't succeed.

Is it possible that one kan only burn thye bootloader once? I can't recall this. Something to do with fuses being set?

Thanks for reactions in advance!

Hello,

How can this be? I believe it happend after i tryed burning a bootloader.

Anyone encountering this?

Thanks

3

Which processor?

4

Which board? Error log?
Details, please.

The 328p-pu..

6

Arduino uno as well as the duemilenove.

I did find a define "old style wiring" wich i enabled.

I get this error:

avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x15
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 2 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x15

Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.

Fout bij het branden van de bootloader.

PS: i do select arduino as isp as programmer and before that uploaded the sketch ArduinoISP..

what board model is programmer and what target? did you select the target board type to burn the bootloader? do you have a capacitor on reset pin of programmer board to disable auto-reset?

A am using an arduino uno, wich i only can upload as a duemilenove by the way, as the programmer and a breadboard to program a 328P-pu.

I don't recall ever have to use a capacitor. I will try that. This isn't in the arduino tutorial i believe. Which value should i use and should it be an elco? And it needs to be connected to GND or 5v?
Thanks

Edit: i found it myself. 10mf from reset to GND

it is mentioned for Mega, but sometimes it is required for Uno/Nano too

You need the capacitor. Without it, the programming Arduino will just reset when the USB port is opened by avrdude.

Thanks very much it works!

For the likely explanation of why you didn't need the capacitor before but needed it now, see:
