Atmel ICE Burn Bootloader

Hi

I can use the Atmel ICE to program a sketch from Visual Micro/Atmel Studio 6.2, but if I try to "Burn Bootloader" I get the following error:

Burning bootloader to board 'Arduino Nano w/ ATmega328' using 'Atmel Studio ATMEL-ICE (ISP)'
C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\bin\avrdude "-CC:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino/hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf" -v -v -v -v -patmega328p -c{protocol} -t atmelice -i ISP -e -Ulock:w:0x3F:m -Uefuse:w:0x05:m -Uhfuse:w:0xDA:m -Ulfuse:w:0xFF:m

         System wide configuration file is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino/hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf"

avrdude: Can't find programmer id "protocol"

Valid programmers are:

  atmelice_isp     = Atmel-ICE (ARM/AVR) in ISP mode [C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino/hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf:995]

   at processing.app.debug.AvrdudeUploader.burnBootloader15(MCUPreferencesMap programmerPrefs, String programmer)
   at processing.app.debug.AvrdudeUploader.burnBootloader(Board boardPreferences, String programmerName)

I tried adding the Atmel ICE to avrdude.conf but it did not help:

programmer
  id    = "atmelice";
  desc  = "Atmel-ICE (ARM/AVR) in JTAG mode";
  type  = "jtagice3_isp";
  connection_type = usb;
  usbpid = 0x2141;
;

programmer
  id    = "atmelice_pdi";
  desc  = "Atmel-ICE (ARM/AVR) in PDI mode";
  type  = "jtagice3_pdi";
  connection_type = usb;
  usbpid = 0x2141;
;

programmer
  id    = "atmelice_dw";
  desc  = "Atmel-ICE (ARM/AVR) in debugWIRE mode";
  type  = "jtagice3_dw";
  connection_type = usb;
  usbpid = 0x2141;
;

programmer
  id    = "atmelice_isp";
  desc  = "Atmel-ICE (ARM/AVR) in ISP mode";
  type  = "jtagice3_isp";
  connection_type = usb;
  usbpid = 0x2141;
;

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Dave,

The ICE stuff is new and I only had time to put in the upload for the last release.

We just need to find out the commands the ICE requires to burn a bootloader.

Once we have the commands it might be possible to alter the config files to support it or I can issue a new build.

If you can find the commands then great otherwise I will put it on the list and try to find time before the next release

Thanks

No luck on my end. I have tried different versions of avrdude, etc. stumped..

I keep getting "usbdev_open(): did not find any USB device "usb" (0x03eb:0x2141)" from the command line and everything I read out there has no fix.

Thanks, I await your expertise on this.
Dave

Hi,

The error is confusing because it is trying to use the standard arduino system which in your arduino ide does not support ICE.

You need to use the atprogram.exe command line utility installed with atmel studio instead of avrdude.

Having said this I might have read that the latest Arduino IDE now supports the ICE (avr only version). If this is true then it should appear as a valid programmer on the Visual Micro menus but the name of the programmer will not contain the text "atmel"

So there are two things to explore if you have time.

Hi
Did you make any progress on this, I'm getting the same error in AS 7.
