Using Arduino as ISP to burn sketch directly to ATmega328 without first installing a bootloader on the ATmega328

It is possible to skip the Burn Bootloader step. When you do Upload Using Programmer the bootloader is overwritten and thus serves no purpose. However, there is another reason for the Burn Bootloader ...

Using Arduino as ISP to burn sketch directly to ATmega328 without first installing a bootloader on the ATmega328

The bootloader only enables serial programming of the device; it is perfectly possible to run Arduino programs without it provided that the code is compiled with the same hardware options (MCU model, ...

Help understanding how avrdude works with ArduinoISP and why its not working for me

The target board was not reset. The "Arduino as ISP" sketch uses pin 10 to reset the target, not the SS pin. So even on Mega, wire reset of target to pin 10, not to pin 53. Is this an error ...

Suddently, "avrdude: Device signature = 0x000000" with ArduinoISP. Is my chip dead?

Mostly this error is due to connections/powering issues (as already mentioned in your output ). Check connections, especially power and ground also check the resistance between Vcc and GND of your ...

How can I program a ATmega328 au tqfp32 ( SMD ) chip?

To upload compiled code (.hex) to a bare atmega which doesn't have a bootloader installed you can use ISP. As this stands for in-system-programming you don't have to flash the chip before assembly, ...

Can I avoid having a bootloader if I use ISP to flash to an arduino?

It looks like the Trinket Pro has an Atmega328P processor. You can change the fuses to not run the bootloader, in which case you don't need the space taken by it. I have a hex uploader sketch which ...

Arduino as ISP - program is being uploaded on Arduino, not breadboard

Use the "Upload using programmer" in Sketch menu to upload a sketch over ISP warning, it deletes the bootloader

How to use reset pin as I/O pin with ATtiny44

The data sheet gives insights: Chapter 1.1.4 states: The reset pin can also be used as a (weak) I/O pin. "Weak" means here, that the output function cannot deliver as much current as the ...

Uno Wifi Rev2 Programming via Uno R3 ArduinoISP

The new generation of AVR chips created by Microchip no longer use the same ICSP protocol as the old ones. Instead they use a new protocol called updi. You need to use a different sketch and wiring to ...

How to use -F option while Burn bootloader for ATtiny 85 using Arduino IDE

For what I know there is no easy way to pass custom options to avrdude via the Arduino IDE, but Sloeber (to which I'm a contributor) does. Beware though, the -F option of avrdude command doesn't ...

Setup of Arduino Uno as ArduinoISP for programming attiny45

The capacitor is meant to prevent the programming Arduino from being reset. Normally, when you open the serial connection, the Arduino gets reset and first starts into the bootloader (which would be ...

How can I program a ATmega328 au tqfp32 ( SMD ) chip?

I use Atmel AVR ISP MKii, which is a dedicated Programmer - it connects via USB to the PC, and to the Power/Gnd/Reset/SCK/MOSI/MISO pins of the SMD device (i.e. the pins that connect to an ICSP header ...

How do I use ATTiny pin 5 (RESET) as a digital output?

RSTDISBL is bit 0 of the high fuse byte. Use avrdude to read the current value of the high fuse byte (-U hfuse:r:-:h), clear bit 0, and then write the value back out (-U hfuse:w:0xXX:m).
