[Tutorial] How to burn 1Mhz & 8Mhz bootloader using Arduino IDE 1.6.5-r5

[LastSamurai]

Hey guys, I have been building my own sensor nodes that should consume as little power as needed, so I burned a 1MHz bootloader with lower BOD settings which I found in the "slime 2AA battery node" thread (I guess this here is the same one).

I had some problem with the node afterwards, which I fixed by setting the baudrate of the mysensors library to 9600. It seems like that is needed (too), beside settings the upload speeds. Can you guys confirm that? If so I would suggest adding that to the (great) manual!

[rsachoc]

@LastSamurai I've been advised that setting the baud rate in myconfig.h is the correct way to get things working when uploading sketches to the slim node. Don't think it matters when burining the bootloader though.

[ahmedadelhosni]

@LastSamurai I have faced this problem a couple of times but I don't remember how do I solve it. I just keep trying different solution. But I have to say thay I am using development branch and I don't redefine the baud rate if I don't wan't the serial debug.

thx for the tutorial. I perfomred every step you described, but I get errors when trying to upload a sketch:

And I also get this error message:

I tried to upload the 1MHz version

edit:

some more info form verbose mode output:

edit2:

Another problem: I could burn the bootloader on to one of my ATMega328 MCU´s but I needed to use a 16MHz Crystal when uploading for the first time. Now I can just burn and burn the bootloader again. Here ist the output:

But it is the only MCU that works, all the other give the "Yikes" error, also when 16MHz Crystal is connected:

Any explanation?

- bootloader burning problem solved by rebuilding the wiring.

- for some reason I could upload the sketch now, don´t ask me why. In the end I just reuploaded again and again...I hope I will be able to upload sketches to the next MCU´s as well

Sorry for asking so many questions, but after spending hours and hours of setting up a raspberry pi with openhab, MQTT Broker and MQTT Gateway I am so close to finishing my first standalone sensor and it´s not going any further, I could cry :cry:

[drock1985]

Hi,

Maybe someone in here can help me. I can't seem to compile any sketches on my Arduino IDE and keep getting errors spit at me. I can burn the bootloader with no problem but not any sketches. Any advice/ideas please? I'm running out of things to try. :(

@drock1985 - please dont crosspost, see forum guidelines.

Hello,

Could someone help me and give info what I'm doing wrong or have an idea whats happening.

I use this tutorial and burn 1Mhz on Atmega328. After that I'm trying to upload sketch with FTDI and test Atmega in two ways:

1. When I connect power supply 2xAA batteries (new ones)
2. When I connect power supply 5V from FTDI.

When I trying to upload sketch with 2xAA batteries, Atmega comes unresponsive and I get:

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp=0xe3

When I trying to upload sketch with 5V from FTDI - everything ok, example works (blink or ASCII table example).
When sketch is uploaded with 5V and then I try to connect 2xAA bateries - its not working again. When I open serial monitor from arduino IDE I see blank window or few times there was strange character.

I checked few times boards.txt file with fuse setting, and there is set "apm96.bootloader.extended_fuses=0x07" wich means BOD disabled. So it seems should be like that.

I was trying to do all steps with different Atmega328 and also trying same steps when I burn 8Mhz bootloader. Got same result.

Please give me some shots what I could test else here, becose I'm out of ideas. I'm trying to run My Slim 2AA Battery Node.

Thank You! Any help would be very useful.

[GertSanders]

@jacikaas

From the symptoms you describe, it seems the BOD is still set at the original 4.3V.

There is an Arduino sketch which allows an Arduino do check which fuses are set on another processor:

http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=11633

This will allow you to be certain that the fuse settings on the slim node are correct.

The boards.txt file is just a settings file, so better to check the fuse settings on the processor itself.

Thank You for reply! I got the results:

Programming mode off.

How I understand:
LFuse = 0x62 this one ok
HFuse = 0xDE this one ok too
EFuse = 0xFF this one is not ok and thats why I get struggling, how I understand it should be 0x07
Lock byte = 0xEF this one not ok too, am I right?
Clock calibration = 0xA0 don't know is this one ok or not

So what I should do differently for programming theese fuses?

[GertSanders]

@jacikaas

Actually the fuse setting for EFuse is correct. In the boards.txt file only the least significant 7 bits are set (0x07), instead of all the bits (as in the result of Nic Gammon's sketch or the AVR Fuse Calculator).

So 0xFF is correct.

What else can be wrong ?

Bad connection of the battery ?

[GertSanders]

@jacikaas

What is the upload speed you are using now ? This is defined in the boards.txt file for each board selected.

I found that if I burn the bootloader with 5V FTDI, and then try to upload sketches at 3V (with batteries connected), the internal oscillator runs at a slightly different speed.

When you use higher upload speeds, this small difference can result in too high error rates.

That is why I use 9600 baud to upload sketches for 1MHz mcu's.

For 8MHz mcu's I use 38K4 baud, and for 16Mhz I can use 115K on Arduino Uno's, but I tend to use 56K on my 16Mhz nodes.

Each time I use the approriate bootloader compiled for that clock speed.

[GertSanders]

@jacikaas

Is this the part of the boards file you use ?

[jacikaas]

@GertSanders

Battery connection is good. Battery voltage: 3.25V (when not connected to circuit)
I check again all wiring, measure voltage on circuit and its 3.22-3.23V, check voltage directly on chip pins - its same voltage too.

Still got "not sync" when trying to upload sketch. Interesting that when I have connected battery power and try to upload sketch over FTDI, led conected to D13 blinks and after that I get "not sync".

Upload speed is: apm96.upload.speed=9600

Yes, I use same part in boards.txt file like in screenshot you posted and also like in the given link in tutorial: https://forum.mysensors.org/uploads/files/1443392940975-add-to-boards.txt

If I burn bootloader to Atmega328, with battery powered, shoud it might work?

[GertSanders]

@jacikaas

It's worth a try. Not sure if it will make any difference. But centainly try it.

[GertSanders]

@jacikaas

I think you lock byte should be different in the boards.txt file:

bootloader.unlock_bits=0x3F
bootloader.lock_bits=0x0F

Now you have 0x2F as lock-bits value, and I think this is for a different processor. Most atmega328 based boards have a 0x0F value in the boards.txt file.

So try that too.

[jacikaas]

@GertSanders

No luck with burning bootloader when I powered it with battery. Got swearing from arduino:

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

Error while burning bootloader.

Trying to change lock bits to 0x0F in boards.txt file. Burn 1Mhz bootloader. Check it with Atmega_Board_Detector and I could see it has changed to Lock byte = 0xCF. Connect to FTDI(RX,TX,RESET) and connect battery power. Trying to upload sketch and got:

Also I tried to connect 3.3V from Arduino UNO to Atmega328 and upload over FTDI. Sketch uploaded and working (in serial monitor ASCII table).
In this situation I disconnect 3.3V from Arduino UNO. Connect Battery power and in serial monitor with same baud rate 9600 I see empty white window. When I change the baud rates, LED on Atmega328 D13 pin blinking, but still serial monitor empty. Sometimes, randomly, I get character "˙".

No idea what could be wrong now. Not being able to burn the bootloader using battery is strange.
I use a seperate "master" Arduino compatible board as ISP, and I burn the bootloaders when the nodes are powered by the 3V3 from the "master" arduino. After that the FTDI (also giving 3V3) never gave me any grief.
I have no experience using just AVRDUDE directly, I always go via the IDE.

So I will wait when moon phase will change and then try it again :D

I do a little pause, then try to do all steps from zero very carefully. :)

Hey, today I start everything from begining. What I do first: I reinstall my Windows and install newest version of Arduino IDE.

Check all wirings. Try to add resistor on bootloader burn breadboard like in this picture.

First I was trying all the same tutorial as described in this topic with 1Mhz, on 3x Atmega328.
Then I try to change the lock bits to 0x0F also on 3x Atmega328.

When I burn bootloader, I do the same, like You, @GertSandees, write before:
I use a seperate "master" Arduino compatible board as ISP, and I burn the bootloaders when the nodes are powered by the 3V3 from the "master" arduino. After that the FTDI (also giving 3V3) never gave me any grief.

In 3 scenarios (when lock bits are 0x2F and later 0x0F) I have:

1. When I connect power from FTDI (3.3V) Everything works fine.
2. When I connect battery power (~3.25V) with ASCII table template I have:

3. When I connect battery power (~2.66V) i got in serial monitor:

AÓÿ

or something like that "ASÿ". Randomly.

I dont know whats happening. Battery powered circuit somehow reacts... I fell a bit frustrated. I don't have an answer what is bad with it...

@jacikaas

You will need to make a picture of your setup so we can see how you use the FTDI interface and how you use the processor when only on battery.

I wonder how you are connected when using battery and when using FTDI. Without seeing the two ways of connecting , there is no guessing what is going on.
