Mega2560_8MHz: CFLAGS += -D_MEGA_BOARD_ -DBAUDRATE=57600 -DUART_BAUDRATE_DOUBLE_SPEED=1 Mega2560_8MHz: BOOTLOADER_ADDRESS = 3E000 I have attempted to modify the makefile for the existing stk500v2 bootloader to include compatibility at 8 MHz, but so far have been unsuccessful - the bootloader will upload successfully, but I will have timeout() errors when attempting to upload the sketch (so maybe something with the baud rate?).įor completeness, here is my attempt to change 'Makefile' in the 'stk500v2' directory of the Arduino source: #

I have been able to upload sketches with my AVRISP mkII with no problem, and have also been able to upload the standard Aruduino Mega 16 MHz bootloader without this error (though of course it won't work - was just testing to make the verification error go away). It is the exact same as the above and reads: ***failed Īvrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x0000Īvrdude: verification error content mismatchįrom reading and experimenting, it seems that this is a problem with the lock bits.

The full error appears immediately at the end of the bootloader burn processes. I can confirm this issue: I have attempted for the past weekend to upload a bootloader to a custom Arduino Mega board I built, also running at 8 MHz. Write them with the following command: avrdude -V -D -p m2560 -c usbtiny -U lfuse:w:0xd6:m -U hfuse:w:0xd4:m -U efuse:w:0xfd:m Then I used avrdude to read and write the fuse bytes. I soldered an ISP header onto the Mega Pro Mini board and connected the pocket programmer (pin 1 is marked on the Mega Pro Mini board, power the board with a separate power source). I used the AVR pocket programmer for sale here on SparkFun. slowly rising power') and measured it running at 8MHz dead on. I set the low byte to 0xD6 (this sets the clock source to 'Full Swing Oscillator Start-up time: 258 CK + 65 ms Ceramic res. The fuse bytes were set to L:0圎2, H:0xD4, E:0xFD, which means the processor is configured to use its internal oscillator. The AVR pocket programmer isn't suited to flash this processor, but it can be used to read and write the fuse bytes. While the description says the board comes with a 8MHz external resonator, the processor isn't configured to actually use it (I measured it running at approximately 7.85MHz).

zip archive below contains all of the files that you'll need including a 'readme' file with simple instructions for how to install them.

Note: If you are using Arduino, modifications were made to the bootloader to support the 3.3V system, you will need to download and install a new board definition so that the Mega Pro can be programmed in the Arduino environment. This board connects directly to the FTDI Basic Breakout board and supports auto-reset.

The Pro series is meant for users that understand the limitations of system voltage (3.3V), lack of connectors, and USB off board. In order to shrink the Mega Pro down to its minimum footprint, we've condensed the board layout, removed the barrel jack footprint and replaced the traditional Arduino-style headers with compact vertical JST connectors. This is a 3.3V microcontroller running a version of the stk500v2 bootloader at 8MHz. Do you need 'Mega' power in a 'Mini' package? We can do that! We're continuing our Pro series of Arduino-compatible microcontrollers with the addition of the Mega Pro Mini.
