Sketch upload fails with raspberry pi [solved]

[cyrus007]

Have been trying to upload the GarageMote & GarageMote_base sketches but have been unsuccessful so far. I am using raspbian build with gpio version of avrdude (v5.10) with the autoreset wrapper (from https://github.com/deanmao/avrdude-rpi ) and here is the result:

avrdude-original done.  Thank you.

done with autoreset

Still after this, the moteino does not work, no LED indicator nor any output in serial link.

Note that I read somewhere that efuse = 0x05 is same as 0xFD  (www.engbedded.com/fusecalc)

What could be wrong ?

[cyrus007]

Needed to change the autoreset code a little bit to align with my pin assignment.

Was:

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)

To:

Code Select Expand

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
...
pin = 7

And with new pristine moteino ...here is the result.

Still unsuccessful.

The only thing I can think of is a corrupt hex file. Once the bootloader is finished flashing, it should jump to the program section. If that is bad it can stall like you're reporting.

[cyrus007]

Thanks Felix. Finally solved it by using codebender.cc tool. It seems the various Arduino configurations on my Ubuntu64 and RPi are faulty.

Using gpio with SPI overwrites bootloader so I had to start from scratch. Downloaded the DualOptiboot hex file, burnt bootloader and then used codebender.cc to flash the chip. Work fine now.

Cool, thanks for the update!
