Can't get it to work - Githubissues

botletics commented 7 years ago

Hi there, could someone please explain step-by-step how to use this repo? I know people have used this and gotten it to work, but I can't seem to. I added the 328PB boards using Boards Manager but I'm a bit confused as to which files I need to update under /arduino/hardware or what I need to install. To me it almost seems as if the 328PB boards added under Boards Manager will automatically load all the necessary things so that I don't have to install the avr toolchain. Also, exactly how do I load the code onto the 328PB chip? (For example, do I just select the ATmega328PB with Crystal Clock/16 MHz and upload the sketch?)

Originally what I did before coming here is I loaded ArduinoISP into an Arduino Uno and used it to burn the standard 328P bootloader into the 328PB chip, and that ran successfully. In order for that to work I changed the avrdude.conf file device signature for the ATmega328P, then changed it back after I flashed the bootloader. However, I can't seem to upload sketches onto the 328PB chip with my FTDI, even though it has the bootloader. Do I need a special 328PB bootloader in order to upload sketches to the chip?

Additional info: I am using an ATmega328PB chip with a 10k pullup resistor on the RESET pin and 16MHz resonator. I am using Arduino IDE v1.6.11

Any guidance would be much appreciated, thanks! (If I get this to work I will probably make an Instructables on it! I think lots of other people are having the same issues with the 328PB)

botletics commented 7 years ago

Update: I upgraded to IDE 1.8.2 and can now successfully upload the bootloader as well as code with the Arduino as ISP and with the "Upload Using Programmer" option in the IDE. However, I have to select 1MHz Internal for the 328PB even though I have a 16MHz resonator, because all other clock settings have the wrong timing (for example, 1s delay would be more like 15s or something). Any ideas why the timing isn't correct?

Also, I would still love to be able to upload code via an FTDI so that I can use the serial monitor without disconnecting the Arduino Uno then plugging in the FTDI each time I change the code. Right now, even with the bootloader successfully flashed I cannot upload code with FTDI.

I think you have not set the fuse bits and so the AVR runs with the default settings: internal 8MHz RC oscillator with 1/8 prescaler. With 1MHz clock the bootloader will also not work, because the default UART speed (115200) is too high. The internal clock is also not very accurate. Try to flash the bootloader directly with AVRdude. Here are the settings: https://github.com/watterott/wattuino/tree/master/software/Optiboot#fuse-settings-for-atmega328

botletics commented 7 years ago

It seems like the default speed is actually 1MHz because all the other options yield the wrong timing. I can successfully burn the bootloader with the IDE at 16MHz but it seems as if it is still running at 1MHz because a 1s delay becomes 16s, so somehow it's not setting the fuses properly I guess? I also can't upload code with the FTDI after the bootloader is flashed.

Also, the page you referred to only shows the avrdude configuration for the 328P, not the 328PB. When I simply change 328p to 328pb, it says "AVR Part atmega328pb not found"

awatterott commented 7 years ago

The fuse settings of m328, m328p and m328pb are the same and you have to use the right avrdude.conf. Please try it with the Arduino IDE and enable the verbose output on upload and send the log messages, when burning the bootloader.

You have to choose as board "Atmel ATmega328PB Crystal Clock" otherwise the fuses are set for internal clock.

botletics commented 7 years ago

Yes, for now I want to use 8MHz internal clock. I also tried 16MHz Crystal Clock and it burns the bootloader just fine, but when I upload code to it, 1s delay becomes 16s delay. Likewise with the 8MHz, 1s becomes 8s delay. It seems like the bootloader isn't actually setting it to the right clock rate even though it seems successful.

On the 328PB datasheet I may not be able to use 16MHz at 3.3V anyway.

awatterott commented 7 years ago

Please send the log messages to confirm the fuses, otherwise I cannot help.

botletics commented 7 years ago

Sorry, where are the log messages? Thanks.

awatterott commented 7 years ago

I mean the log messages, when burning the bootloader with the correctly selected board.

botletics commented 7 years ago

I'm sorry, I'm still not quite following what log message you are referring to. I pasted the entire verbose output (the stuff that prints out at the bottom).

botletics commented 7 years ago

Also, one tweak I had to make using this Github repo is I had to change the avrdude.conf file located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\etc to be able to upload the code with "Upload Using Programmer". I added the following code at line 8711 (right under the m328p section):

part parent "m328" id = "m328pb"; desc = "ATmega328PB"; signature = 0x1e 0x95 0x16; ocdrev = 1; ;

Without that tweak, it would give me the message:

System wide configuration file is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr/etc/avrdude.conf" avrdude: AVR Part "atmega328pb" not found.

Would my tweak cause any issues? I replaced Arduino\hardware\tools with the folder in this repo (but only the folders with the same names) and added the atmega328pb folder. Am I using this repo correctly?

awatterott commented 7 years ago

If you select as board "Atmel ATmega328PB Internal Clock" then the fuses will be set to use the internal clock and no external crystal, when burning the bootloader. The right board is "Atmel ATmega328PB Crystal Clock" for an external crystal and with this settings you should send the log messages.

botletics commented 7 years ago

For now I would like to use 8MHz Internal, not the crystal. However, I ran it with 16MHz and here is the verbose output:
