I have run Nick Gammons Fuse Calculator.
I have run Nicks Board Programmer and after it fails, it stops responding at all.
@Nick:
I thought my chip is dead and I changed it with new one.
It opens programming mode and after a while it aborts.
Problems come after I run the Board Programmer with a try to write a bootloader (Uno).
Posible Errors (new):
New Fuse settings during the attempt to write the bootloader.
Maybe setup to external Crystal-and mine is defective.
Can somebody please take a look on the Shema if I made a mistake somewhere?
Nick, any Ideas?
Nothing jumps out at me. Should post the layout too.
Have you ohm'ed it out to check for shorts? Check all adjacent pins, particularly those used for programming, ensuring that they're not shorted to ground, supply, or eachother. Shorts underneath a capacitor are fairly common.
The schematic shows the "reset capacitor" between the FT232 and GND. That's wrong.
Your 328 pinout looks wrong; RX and TX are on PORTD, not PORTC.
(However, Neither of those explains your immediate problem.)
I changed the DTR output to Reset.
Corrected the RX/TX Ports and connected Test to GND.
I checked the PCB Layout manually.
The only difference between my standard design is the "missing" C5 Cap.
On this layout I relocated C5 far away from Pin18.
Usually I put it near the µC Pin.
Can this cause my Problems?
I'll fix this. If it works I'll make new PCB and post the results.
Programming over ISP working now. Not over USB.
On Nicks FuseCalculator I get this:
Atmega fuse calculator.

As I was not sure why my previuos Boards doesnt responds after I run Nicks Programmer,
this time I burn the (Nano) Bootloader directly with my Uno over the IDE.
When I plug in the Board, there is a Handshake between the Computer and the Nano.
The serial Chip get 4,75V over USB.
Is this enought?
On Abort I get this:
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x28
uno.bootloader.low_fuses=0xff << same for both
uno.bootloader.high_fuses=0xde << DE vs DA, low 3 bits 110 vs 010. Bits 2-1 set boot size
11 = 128 words, 01 = 512 words.
uno.bootloader.extended_fuses=0x05 << low 3 bits match, xxxxx101, sets brown out level.
I think the high fuse byte needs to change so the bootloader starts at the correct place.
I noticed something strange today.
As You maybe noticed, I made 2 Setups.
One with 32U4 and another with 328P-AU and the FTDI Serial Interface.
Uploading over USB on 32U4 needs manual RESET till the "Upload" message appears.
This is known problem on the Leonardo boards.
I also need this Upload procedure under the Micro bootloader.
Now, the strange one.
The Board under Nano (or UNO) bootloader behaves the same like the leonardo.
The only difference is the timing for pressing the reset Button.
While on the Leonardo I have to press it till the Upload message comes
on the Nano i have to press it once at the same time when I press upload on the computer.
I tried on different USB I/Os and different Computers.
Both was unter Win7.
Sounds like on the 328P design you do not have DTR from FTDI going thru a 0.1uF cap to the Reset pin, with a 10K pullup on the Reset pin to +5. That would allow the PC software to reset the 328P chip. Hence the need to press reset manually to get the bootloader started.
