Signature error when burning bootloader on ATMega32-AU

Using Arduino Avrdude, stk500, Bootloader issues
1

Hello,

I want to burn bootloader on an SMD atmega328-au with the arduino sparkfun redboard, but I seem to be having trouble with the device signature:

Not sure how to fix this or if I installed the wrong package. I used the atmega328p as my board and I have a 16Mhz crystal connected so I did external 16Mhz. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Thanks

and

are slightly different chips, just like atmega328p and atmega328pb

You can not program the 328 with the standard AVR board package. You will need another board package like MiniCore (GitHub - MCUdude/MiniCore: Arduino hardware package for ATmega8, ATmega48, ATmega88, ATmega168, ATmega328 and ATmega328PB) and use that for burning the bootloader and programming of the chip.

Note:
Screenshots of errors are in general useless. Next time just copy the error message and paste it here (using code tags).

Thank you; I followed this and it worked!

Would you know if I can program the atmega328 using the sparkfun redboard? Without an FDTI adapter?

Thanks!

do you mean with CH341 chip? yes it ist possible to programm RedBoard as "Arduino as ISP" programer and flash with it barebone AVR chips or arduino boards

What do you mean by flashing it? Is there a step by step process that I can look at?

putting some sort of code in the flash memory of µC
