TUTO: How to burn Yocto v1.0 Bootloader with an ArduinoISP

Discuss use it and firmware update
  • Thank you for this. Any recommendation as to which arduino board I should buy?
  • Dear Brok0791,

    You can buy very cheap chinese board of Arduino UNO on ebay. http://www.ebay.fr/itm/ATmega328P-UNO-R ... 4631f40b7d

  • I'll just buy it on amazon since I'm in canada and don't want to wait but judging by that link I'll assume the UNO model works. Thanks again

  • are the instructions the same for OSX. I cant seem to be able to add the Yoctoboot folder using the arduino software
    .
  • I was hoping someone might be able to help with this. I've completed the build, and when I power the yocto, all the LED's light up.

    When I try to upload the firmware it gets as far as step 8 which fails with the following message:

    avrdude: Device signature = 0x000000
    avrdude: Yikes! Invalid device signature.
    Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
    this check.

    I've checked the connections with a multimeter and they seem to match up to the chips data sheet. I've brought a new Atmega 1284P chip, which does the same thing. I've tried with 2 different Arduino's with the same result.

    I'd happily pay for a pre-burnt chip, but they don't seem to be for sale.

    I've limited experience using arduino, so not sure what to try next.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
  • What are the fuse settings? I'd like to stay away from Arduino and just use AVRdude or Atmel Studio

    Lock = 0x3F , efuse = 0xFD, hfuse = 0xDC and lfuse = 0xD6
