If your board has an atmega8u2 type atmega8u2 instead of atmega16u2 in the command lines above. Your board should be ready and up to date. You can check this by looking in the serial port menu of the Arduino software. Your port should re-appear.

You create a connection with the 2 x 3 ICSP pin headers. Take note of the way you connect the pins to ensure a proper connection.

You will also need a power source that you can get via a USB port or external power supply. Select the programmer and then click on burn bootloader to finish the process. We will highlight the step-by-step process for you below. You also have the option of the Arduino as a programmer.

You can, for example, use an Arduino Uno. Isn't the standard bootloader compiled for 16Mhz while the V will be running at 8 Mhz: i. Does this mean arduino bootloaders will work at any speed without recompiling? I thought the boards entry just fixed the millis timing. With custom boards I have not been able to boot them at 8Mhz with the standard bootloader. I had to use the Lilypad 8Mhz one instead. Yes, if you adjust the upload.

If you take a bootloader that uploads at bps when running at 16MHz, it should work fine uploading at bps when running at 8MHz. Why do they bother putting different bootloaders into the IDE with different speed arduinos using te same chip? If the bootloader was built for 16MHz and baud, then yes, you would divide by 16, but that would result in a baud rate. Not quite standard. When my hex size is less than that critical size, it works perfectly.

It enables the internal pullup resistor on pin 6, and doesn't enable the internal pullup on the RX pin. Nor does it timeout upon receiving invalid data, so if you send data to it immediately after it resets, your sketch will never start. The ATmega8 bootloader only takes up 1 KB of flash. It does not timeout when it receives invalid data, you need to make sure that no data is sent to the board during the seconds when the bootloader is running.

Some ancient versions of the bootloader run at baud instead of In order to successfully upload sketches to boards with this bootloader, you'll need to change the serial.

Third parties have also worked on the bootloader. This page is link to some other bootloader development. The 'Burn Bootloader' commands in the Arduino environment use an open-source tool, avrdude. There are four steps: unlocking the bootloader section of the chip, setting the the fuses on the chip, uploading the bootloader code to the chip, and locking the bootloader section of the chip. These are controlled by a number of preferences in the Arduino preferences file.
