Program Not Uploading

Hi every one,

Tried to upload my first program but it is not happening :(.

Please find the below error code

I selected the com port and the Board from the tool correctly.

OS: win 10.
Board: UNO Genuino.

This error is a programmer error. Either you need to select the Atmel stk500 programmer or the AVR ISP.

You could have a corrupt bootloader.

Thanks for your reply.
I tried Atmel stk500 programmer and AVR ISP with the same error .

There is an option under tools >> burn boot loader. Is this can help ?

6

Before doing that, can you post your code?

7

2trillion - OP is attempting to upload to an Arduino Uno. When doing Upload (as opposed to upload using programmer) to an Arduino board with a serial bootloader, the tools -> programmer option is ignored. Tools -> Programmer is only used for Burn Bootloader and Upload using Programmer (and normal uploads to third party boards like ATtiny). This refers to a physical device used for programming AVR chips (the most popular being the USBAsp, because they're like $2 on ebay).

The code is irrelevant, it's a problem with communication with the bootloader, not the code.

The out of sync errors are a very generic error, and it's hard to tell from the error what exactly is wrong. Do the loopback test to make sure the serial interface is working (see the topic at the top of this section with loopback test instructions).

If that is working, watch the LED on the board (not tx/rx LEDs) - when you try to upload, do you see a series of a couple of blinks in rapid succession on that LED (I think it should be three fast blinks)?

If not, it's not resetting, or the bootloader isn't installed - in this case, press the reset button - does it give the triple blink? If not, the bootloaded isn't installed (this can be done using an ISP programmer, like a USB Asp, or another working Arduino running Arduino as ISP sketch), or the chip is completely dead. If yes, there's a problem with the autoreset circuit.

Kindly can some one post a video on YouTube for how to perform a loop Back test for UNO .

9

I followed the instruction and when I type something will go to the below box.
Is this successful test

10

If that is what you typed,it is successful indeed.

Type some text you can recognise instead of hacking around at you keyboard (if that is what you did, sure looks like it).

11

Thanks for your reply. I was typing letter by letter and it was correct. I will go back to the other post as I can not do any thing with this error (avrdude: stk500_recv())

http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=400142.0

12

Thanks for you reply.

The loop back test is done and it is working fine. This is brand new auduino, why this issue is happening?

I will check the lights and I will post back ....

13

Threads merged. @armada7ksa, please do not cross-post.

14

1.7.10 has same problem, FLASH uploads time out at 98% in Linux or just hang in windows 10. Code compiles without errors or warnings and ran in 1.5. Happens on UNO and new MEGA 2650 R3

15

If you are still getting errors:

Running current versions of the IDE did something to change how older versions run.

I solved these same errors by simply updating Java!

Good luck! -Roger

Thanks for your reply. After clicking on upload the RX is blinking three times and TX is not blinking at all.
In addition, after clicking on reset button RX is blinking one time only.

Is there any useful information in this. The below log for the issue.

Thanks . I have latest JAVA update installed.

I have the same problem with a new genuino one and everything I tried doesn't work...
armada7ksa , have you found a solution?

I did fair amount of bracket testing. FLASH load fails on UNO and MEGA 2650 anytime its greater than about 17K, below that it works. This is clearly a bug that needs to be fixed. The loader is still intact because it still works fine with smaller array's. All IDEs past 1.5 including 1.7.10 seem to have this problem. It appears that loading starts to fail avrdude, not sure what that code is but probably is serial link time out issue. So works fine on small loads once a size threshold is past, then it hangs and eventually times out. Very consistent between Window 8/10 and Ubuntu 16+ only difference is how fast the time out message is delivered. Once Arduino fixes this bug, its easy to validate, simply load flash with 256K array, it should load without issue. Hopefully they will fix this someday.
