Programming ATMega16 without bootloader

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards
1

Hi,

I want to program this http://tiny.cc/4nmwkw Development Baord with the Arduino IDE.
The board has the following specs:

  • AtMega16
  • TEA5767 FM-Radio receiver chip (this is why i bought this board)
  • 10pin ISP connector
  • LCD1602 LCD connector
  • 4 pushbuttons

I do not want to use the Arduino bootloader because of the delay on powerup/reset.

I read through this http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,24073.0.html article and took a look at the modified board.txt file from Alternate CORE files for Arduino, but they are all about using the bootloader and reference arduino 0020 or older.

So here is my question:

How do I have to modify the boards.txt and the pins_arduino.h file to make the IDE compile for ATMega16 and program with the USBTinyISP ?

I am a bit confused by the following lines from the boards.txt file from avr-developers.com:

arduino_atmega16.upload.protocol=stk500v2
arduino_atmega16.upload.maximum_size=14336
arduino_atmega16.upload.speed=57600

arduino_atmega16.bootloader.low_fuses=0xE4
arduino_atmega16.bootloader.high_fuses=0x98
arduino_atmega16.bootloader.extended_fuses=0xFF
arduino_atmega16.bootloader.path=atmega
arduino_atmega16.bootloader.file=ATmegaBOOT_168_atmega16.hex
arduino_atmega16.bootloader.unlock_bits=0x3F
arduino_atmega16.bootloader.lock_bits=0x0F

Can I just erase the arduino_atmega16.bootloader... lines to prevent use of the bootloader?
And how do I change the ...upload... lines to use an ISP programmer?

Many thanks in advance for any helping comments :slight_smile:
