load error. avrdude reads fuses but won't write.

So I'm having an issue with my program in trying to upload it to my arduino uno. The output when I run make load is:

avrdude  -v -D -patmega328p -carduino -P/dev/cu.usbmodem1421  -b115200 -UFLASH:w:hw8.hex:i

avrdude done.  Thank you.

make: *** [load] Error 1

I'm not really sure what the issue is and I've tried a lot of different approaches to correct the issue. Anybody have any suggestions?

2

It looks like you are not using the Arduino IDE. Is that correct?

Do you have a copy of the Arduino IDE installed?

3

No I'm not using the IDE, but I do have it installed.

4

If you do an upload (of any program) using the IDE does it work?

5

Yeah, I made sure to test the IDE and even wrote the same program using the IDE. I just went a step further to try and write the same program in assembly, but ran into this problem.

6

I'll take that as a "yes" to my previous question.

Here's my suggestion:
(In the Arduino IDE) File > Preferences > Show verbose output during: > upload (check) > OK
File > New
Sketch > Upload

After the upload finishes, scroll up the black console window at the bottom of the Arduino IDE window until you find the avrdude command generated by the Arduino IDE. Copy that command and then change the .hex file name to you hw8.hex, then verify this command works.

There are a couple things that might be different between your non-working avrdude command and the Arduino IDE generated working command. The first is that the Arduino IDE's command specifies the avrdude.conf file from the Arduino IDE's avrdude tool, which might be different from the /usr/local/Cellar/avrdude/6.3/etc/avrdude.conf used by your non-working command. Also, the IDE-generated command is surely using Arduino's version of AVRDUDE, whereas your command may be using a separate version installed on your system. Arduino has a special build of AVRDUDE with some modifications.

7

That worked, but now I'm curious as to how I correct this problem. Do I need to uninstall avrdude and then reinstall it or is there something more in depth that I need to correct?
Thanks for the help.

8

What is the problem you want to correct?

9

I want to be able to run any program I write without having to paste the arduino IDE output and altering it to suit my needs. I want to be able to just have my makefile do the work for me.

10

Well you have the working command now, which can be used to upload any file. You only needed to use the Arduino IDE that one time to get it.

"FLASH" memory type not defined for part "ATmega328P"

The memory type is flash not FLASH.

12

Thanks for that sure enough I had "FLASH" in my makefile instead of "flash".
