Title: Burning bootloader
Post by Tomek Gorski on Aug 1^st, 2013 at 7:45pm

Hi everyone.
I use visualmicro plugin to program ATTiny85 with Arduino as ISP. It works perfectly, but when i try to burn a bootloader into ATTiny I receive this message: This board does not support the burning of a bootloader. I have to use Arduino IDE to burn bootloaders. Is there any way to do it in visualmicro?

Hi,

It might be a bug in recent version we will look into it.

In the meantime you might be able to fix it by copying the programmers.txt file from arduinoide\hardware\arduino to the location of the boards.txt that contains the attiny defs.

Alternatively you can switch on External Editor in the arduino ide File>Preferences then have the sketch open in Arduino and Visual Micro at the same time. Edit with Visual Micro then click upload in Arduino.

Hi, I have the same problem, not it is 5 years later, any solutions?

[code]Burning a new bootloader
System.Exception: Programmer can not found for the current board: arduinoasisp
bei Visual.Micro.MiroAppAPI.debug.AvrdudeUploader.burnBootloader(Board boardPreferences, String programmerName)
Burn failed[/code]

I selected attiny25/45/85 \w attiny85 and Programmer: Arduino as ISP and tried with and without "Always used Programmer for Upload..."

A lot has changed in 5 years and now we use board manager to install hardware + there are many variations

Please post install instructions for your hardware

Thanks
