Error burning boot loader with USBTinyISP

Hello I have a Arduino Uno clone. I can burn the bootloader and upload my sketch using the Arduino IDE just fine. I can also use Visual Micro with Atmel Studio 6.2, along with a USBTinyISP to upload my sketch without problems.

But When I try to burn the bootloader using Visual Mirco I get the following error:
System.Exception: Burn bootloader failed with an exception ---> processing.app.debug.RunnerException: avrdude: can't open input file {runtime.platform.path}/bootloaders/optiboot/optiboot_atmega328.hex: No such file or directory
avrdude: read from file '{runtime.platform.path}/bootloaders/optiboot/optiboot_atmega328.hex' failed

I have placed the path to the optiboot_atmega328.hex in the project toolchain-> directories path. But still get the error.

If I burn the boot loader with the Arduino IDE and then try to upload the sketch using Visual Micro, via the USB port, I get the following error:

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00

I really want to move away from the Arduino IDE to Atmel Studio. Any Ideas on how to fix these issues?

Hi,

For question 1 it sounds like the burn bootloader is trying to use Arduino 1.0.x format

For question 2 it sounds like the Arduino Ide is unable to bun the bootloader correctly.

The upload error signifies a missing boot loader. 

You do not specify if you can you upload using the Arduino IDE after burning the bootloader with the Arduino IDE?

Please read the first line again:

Question 1.  Arduino 1.5.x is set in the Visual Toolbar

Question 2.  The boot loader can be burned from the Arduino IDE,  just not Atmel Studio with the Visual Micro Plugin.

All default paths were used when Installing Atmel Studio and Visual Micro.

It looks like a configuration issue with Visual Micro

Thanks

Hi,

I think there is some confusion here. I accept that there might be a problem burning a boot loader which we will fix however you have stated the following

My question is, after you have burned the bootloader using the Arduino Ide can you then upload a sketch to your board using the standard serial upload in the Arduino Ide?

Hello,  I can burn the boot loader using the Arduino IDE and upload the sketch using either the bootloader through the Arduino IDE, using the USB port,  or using the USBTinyISP as the programmer. 

If I an burning the bootloader then I of course want to use just the USB port without a programmer. 

Thanks

Hi,

Yes I agree you should use the usb port after burning a boot loader but you had not previously confirmed that after burning the boot loader the usb upload worked in the Arduino Ide. Please re-confirm this is the case.

If that is true then we can ignore, for now, any discussion about burning the boot loader or using a programmer because that confuses things.

1)

You are saying that you now have a board that can upload using usb in the Arduino but not in Visual Micro? It is important to be clear about these two tests please without discussion of boot loader or programmer.

2)

Please confirm the board you are using and the name and date of the usb driver in windows>control panel>device manager

3)

Please post the full output from the compile and upload. It should show which port Visual Micro is attempting to use.

Thanks
