I am getting an error while Uploading the Bootloader to Atmega8A I am selecting..
Board -> Arduino NG and Older
Processor -> Atmega8A
Programmer -> USBasp
and sketch code is ArduinoISP, After selecting port then I do "Burn Bootloader"
But getting an error of...
"efuse" memory type not defined for part "ATmega8"
Error while burning bootloader.
Please tell me what to do. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you
Google is your friend!!! Apparently this is a known regression bug not yet corrected. The possible solution is also suggested there by user rigelinorion and here is the quote:
Hello, I solved it this way...
Open for edit the file C:\Program Files\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\platforms.txt
this is standard section uploader/programmers tools

#==============================================================================
create a new tool called, for example, avrdude1
simply copy section tools.avrdude and name it tools.avrdude1
the trick is that we remove switch "-Uefuse:w:{bootloader.extended_fuses}:m" from "tools.avrdude1.erase.pattern="

I used Programmer "AVRUPro+" for Uploading Program. I downloaded its Software "Progisp" Then I did some few steps....
1) After downloading it, Run the Progisp.exe file.
2) Then went to Command tab, and clicked “Program Fuse”, It just did my fuse set.
3)Then I just did the simple process of burning the bootloader to my Atmega Controller.
4)After this I was able to upload my program to my new Atmega Controller.
Thank you
