Error while burning bootloader on mega2560

Sya · February 9, 2018, 2:49am

Hi i tested these methods with functional arduino it works but I test with a 2560 nine it is impossible for me to have other things that the erector below (the seller claims that the products are original)

and

I have already spent more than 10 hours on the test I always the same erector

if you have an idea thank you for your help

Are you trying upload to brand new chip? If yes, then USBasp may have problem with SCK. Usually the USBasps from ebay have not mounted jumper JP3 for slow SCK. Solder the pins and plug the jumper to short these pins. It should work then. Another way is to upgrade the FW on USBasp which can do it automatically but it is not from Fischl. I cannot find the link at this moment, maybe someone else or later.

This: USBasp FW.

I tested with JP3 what gives me that):

This: USBasp FW.

I do not understand what I have to do with this file I read the "Readme.txt" but it did not help me ):

The JP3 must help if it is the problem I am writing about. Just another thing, there can be differences in JP marking depending on producer. You can check it according the schematics if JP3 is correct.
Here is the most frequent type in my opinion:

This is a FW for USBasp which solve the problem described above by SW. You have to upload it to the USBasp with another ISP programmer.
Forget it for now. If the jumper does not solve it, the problem will be somewhere else.

the USB ASP that I use is the same as the one on the photo, but the tests did not give more result):

Check your HW setup again. Wait a moment, here on the picture there is 10uF cap between RESET and GND. Do I see correctly? It disables to reset the MCU.

I directly replace the chip on a mega arduino card, to be sure that everything is ok
