Bootloading ATMEGA8515L #11

Closed RayyanTahir closed 4 years ago

RayyanTahir commented 6 years ago

Hi, I'm new to bootloading. I followed the instructions with the circuit provided in the details. After running ArduinoISP on ArduinoUno and bootloading to ATMEGA8515L at first I got a message stating that my device was recognized as Device Signature: 0x1e9301 whereas in the config the signature for the microcontroller was set to 0x1e9306 which led the bootloader to stop. I ran the bootloader a couple of times and after a few restarts of Arduino IDE and my PC, the device signature always shows as 0x00000000. Please see the log below:

I tried adding another ATMEGA8515L but when I try to bootload it I get Device Signature: 0x00ff00. The second time I try to bootload it, it gives Device Signature: 0xff0000 and then doing this repeatedly the ff part of the address just changes position of ff like 0xff0000, 0x00ff00 and 0x0000ff. See below for the logs:

Hi! This is most likely caused by an improper connection. Can you post a picture of your physical hardware? You should also check all connections, including the reset line

Hi @RayyanTahir

I'm far from an expert but had very similar issue and got it figured out.

Assuming your wiring is correct (do double check it!) it might be that you're running the chip on wrong clock speed. On the ATmega8515 datasheet it says that the L variant is capable of running at only up to 8MHz. Not 16!

It also appears to me that if you select the an external crystal as the clock from the Arduino IDE, it is impossible to communicate with the chip without a suitable crystal connected. (which I obviously didn't have)

I got around this problem by using my Arduino UNO as the ISP with a modified sketch that creates an around 1MHz clock signal on digital pin 3. I plugged this into XTAL1 pin on the 8515L and burned a bootloader successfully. I used the internal 8MHz clock from that point on since clock accuracy wasn't critical for my project.

ArduinoISP_external1mhzclock.zip

I have included the sketch here but, I did not create it. I found it on AVRfreaks forums somewhere.

I hope this is at least somewhat helpful.
