My question is - how do I use it?
The pins are MOSI, NC, RST, SCK, MISO on the top,
and VCC, GND, GND, GND, GND on the bottom.
Can I cable this up to the ICSP connector on a Duemilanove?
Or does it need to go to the same pins on a standalone board?
And then select something under the -0022 IDE menu?
I tried this approach http://www.geocities.jp/arduino_diecimila/bootloader/index_en.html
It has some issues with Windows Vista SP2 - the read boxes don't populate, altho the message boxes seem to have the correct info.
The Write-Verify seems to finish, altho it just stops when done with no messages.
Can't upload a sketch afterwards, get the common 'can't sync' 0014/0051 error message.
My end goal is to be able to download bootloader & sketch into a '1284P.
Thanks
Robert
No help at all? Really?
I tried plowing ahead, selecting "AVR ISP" as the bootburning tool. Didn't work.
Comes back with "Error while burning bootloader.
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x30
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51"
Did manage to get something programmed in using bitbanging. I think the -0021
ATmegaBOOT_168_atmega328.hex . Every ten seconds the D13 LED turns on for 1 second.
But when I try and download, there is some hopeful looking flickering, then a long pause with no lights, and then
Binary sketch size: 1018 bytes (of a 30720 byte maximum)
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51
Thanks very much Coding.
I updated programmers.txt.
MDFLY showed up in the list -IDE reported "Done burning boatloader". That was a big improvement. Nice once a second blink from L.
Removed the programmer to ISP connections, installed the regular USB cable: and sketch still won't upload.
WIll try another chip, board tomorrow, and -0022. I need to get go bed.
Hi Coding B,
Too hot too think last night, didn't get anything done.
Heading home earlier today, hopefully will make some progress!
Going to visit skyjumper tomorrow to start board assembly also.
My neighbor, who knows nothing about predicting the weather, has become a phenomenal sage. Last night he predicted we would have a 100 degree sunny day followed by an 80 degree clear night. So far, he's made a perfect prediction. I suppose, when every day for weeks has been exactly the same, it's not too difficult to figure out what tomorrow will bring. To add insult to injury, we've been hankerin' to travel north to South Dakota but the weather there has been exactly the same as here. I haven't been able to solder in weeks. Dripping sweat keeps getting in the way!
Oh, 103F at Logan airport on the coast.
Supposed to cool down to 80s by 9PM.
I moved my stuff down to the basement, getting ready to try burning/downloading again.
Thanks on the boards. I bought some +3.0 reading glasses on the way home to use as magnifiers.
Skyjumper having a problem with his Rev 2 board - parts all soldered on, getting 34 ohm from +5 to Gnd, will see if I can help him with that also.
Ok, -0021, AVRISP reports "done burning bootloader" holding shift key does not verbose, so no insight.
Something seems to have gone in, L flashes once a second, maybe 1/10 of a second?
Loading blink sketch, get this:
Not much documentation for the programmer. Has a jumper on it:
but no description
Description: This compact USB programmer is specially designed for Atmel AVR controllers. It is based on USBasp design and will work under multiple platforms, Linux, Mac OS and Windows. For more details, you can visit USBasp website.
Features:
Programming speed is up to 5KB/sec << should this be a concern? Or a typo?
SCK option to support targets with low clock speed (< 1,5MHz)
Powered by USB
Standard 10-pin ISP connector
Compact design
Schematic - J1 only seems to be used to power the board being programmed.
I don't see a J2, J3 (pad, traces, nothing), and R8 is not installed. Nor C4, sothis is not the correct shematic.
Alright, went to straight bit-bang method wih avrdude-GUI.
Give it erase-write-verify, L LED stays on a lot, no indication one way or the other that it passed or failed when the green bar completese. L changes to 3 quick flashes once a second with -0021 Optiboot_atmega328.hex.
Still won't take a sketch, goes back to 3 quick flashes afterwards.
OK! Seem to have a combination that works.
S/N CBO807 Duemilanove, -0022 optiboot_atmega328, MDFLY boot loaded, accepts new sketches.
S/N N0251 Duemilanove, -0022 optiboot_atmega328, MDFLY boot loaded, accepts new sketches.
However, ATMega328, call it #3, goes thru the motions, lights flash, but won't take a sketch. Think I have a bad chip - two others program ok using the same method.
