I can't select a serial port because none shows up.

When I use Upload Using Programmer I get:

Sketch uses 22,124 bytes (4%) of program storage space. Maximum is 524,288 bytes.

STK500 firmware version v1 and v2 use different serial protocols.

Using the 'stk500' protocol tells avrdude to try and autodetect the

firmware version. If this leads to problems, we might need to add

stk500v1 and stk500v2 entries to allow explicitely selecting the

firmware version.

Notes about Dangerous Prototypes Bus Pirate as ISP

Bus Pirate V3 need Firmware v5.10 or later

Bus Pirate V4 need Firmware v6.3-r2151 or later

Could happen that BP does not have enough current to power an Arduino board

through the ICSP connector. In this case disconnect the +Vcc from ICSP connector

and power Arduino board in the normal way.

hello,

I have Arduino 1.8.1. I am trying to upload a program in arduino uno board(ATmega328P) using AVRISP MKII. I had try to change in board.text but when i uploading it show the error in board.text. Please help me to upload the program on board using AVRISP MKII. and tell me what to make changes.
its urgent.

omkar123:
I had try to change in board.text

What change? It's board.txt, not board.text. It's very important to be exact with this sort of thing.

omkar123:
but when i uploading it show the error in board.text.

What error? Please post the FULL text of the error here USING CODE TAGS (</> button on the toolbar).

omkar123:
tell me what to make changes.

You shouldn't need to make any changes at all other than making sure the correct driver is installed, as described in the original post.

  • Connect programmer to Uno's ICSP header
  • Power the Uno via USB or barrel jack
  • Tools > Board > Arduino/Genuino Uno
  • Tools > Programmer > AVRISP mkII
  • Sketch > Upload Using Programmer

omkar123:
its urgent.

Then just do a normal upload over USB.
