So I will admit that I am a noob to Arduino. I have some experience programming microcontrollers, and that was back in the day (about 4 years ago - such as the Freescale 68HC12) so up until this point I thought I was experienced enough to get this Arduino Mega2560 rocking with AVR C using Atmel Studio and avrdude by lunch...

Wrong.

I believe I'm getting held up at what's possible...

What I want to accomplish: Write and compile a program in AVR C within Atmel studio. Use the hex file that was built and download that to the Mega. (Keep in mind I was planning on using USB and Arduino as my programmer between PC and ATMega2560 as per this gentleman's example... https://balau82.wordpress.com/2011/03/29/programming-arduino-uno-in-pure-c/ -- however, I was not using his code and he was compiling using avr-gcc...)

Question: Is this possible?

Using avrdude when attempting to write the file I get this message... (and my blinking LED goes dark for a few seconds before returning to normal operation)

avrdude error

When I searched the internet for this issue it was never related to avrdude, but rather a communications issue. I've verified my bootloader is still ok (uploaded other sketches with no issues).

It's certain that I am missing something minor, but this is my first day using Arduino so go easy on me!

Thanks

  • try -c wiring instead of -c arduino. Thats what the IDE uses when uploading to a mega. Commented Jan 10, 2015 at 23:45
  • Unfortunately, I tried that and I get - avrdude: Can't find programmer id "wiring" Commented Jan 11, 2015 at 14:23
  • Ok so I've got it to the point of actually uploading to the Mega... and that happened using this line - avrdude -F -V -c wiring -p m2560 -P COM3 -b 115200 -D -U flash:w:tmp\BlinkLED.hex:i but unfortunately I'm getting no blinking! But I think that it's a code/ports pin thing. Thanks for the help guys! Commented Jan 11, 2015 at 15:24
