ATmega 328P Code transfer how ?

Dear colleagues,
I have a problem putting the code created by Bascom into the 328P

I am running short of memory with my AT Mega8.
The alternative for the AT Mega8 was a pin compatible Atmega 328P.

So far I did the program transfer to the chip via PonyProg and a serial link.
The processor is for programming in a development kit that I got from Pollin.

So far PonyProg does not support the 328P.

Does one of the existing types of Atmel processor setups within
Ponyprog work with the 328P. I am not sure e.g. the fuse bits. I
think there is a high risk that I will lock me out if something goes
wrong with programming.

In case there is no solution with PonyProg what other program will work with the serial link.

Please be so kind and let me know.

best regards
Christian

Hi autoguider,

when PonyProg is not supporting ATmega328P I can recommend STK500 Programmer because there is also a native driver in BASCOM and you can program your ATmega direct from BASCOM (including Fuse Bit's). I'm using it and I'm very happy with it. Is is also over serial interface (RS-232).

One additional benefit is the High Voltage Programming with STK500.

Search BASCOM Help file and this forum for stk500.

Can you fit your code in a mega168? This may be supported by ponyprog (I don't use ponyprog) and might also be easier to buy.

If you want a source for the Atmega328p

Check http://www.tuxgraphics.org Ordered some and they came from Canada.

Have fun

The STK500, as mentioned above, is great for working with most of the AVR chips, (excluding XMega, and a few tiny's, I believe). It can also be used as an ISP programmer for chips on your own PCB.

If the STK500 is too expensive, an inexpensive option is to use an Atmel AVR Butterfly (small Demo board, with LCD, Mega169, 5-way joystick, piezo beeper, thermistor, eeprom, etc., all the size of a credit card), and program it to act as an ISP programmer.

You can do this using Dean's Buttload program. The software, by Dean, is free. Butterfly ISP Programmer, ButtLoad .

The manual explains it all, you need the AVR Betterfly, and whatever connector you want. LEDs are optional, but useful.

The Butterfly costs about $20 USD.

The Butterfly ButtLoader interfaces with AVR Studio4, (Free from Atmel's web site, and also what is used for the STK500 interface).

What i use for now is the schematic from here http://dybkowski.net/elka/ispprog_en.html (this is also nice and support this chip)

You can also use the bascom with this hardware: from the Bascom AVR select the Programmer "STK200/STK300 Programmer"

And another one software is the AVR - ISP from Kanda (i like more this one) go to http://www.kanda.com/ register (free) and download the setup file

Now if you use laptop and you don't have external power then i prefer the solution for Ben, with the USB Programmer Very Happy

This solution it will cost you 5 Euro ? no more Very Happy

Enjoy it

Hi,

I use the MCS programmer, cheap (39 euro) and very fast USB programmer.
It works fine with the ATmegaxx8 versions.
As I had same problem with M88 was to small, I started to use the M168. Even that is already 95% filled Very Happy

You can directly program from BASCOM AVR, as I use it as ISP for all my designed hardware.
