By connecting a Atmeg328p microcontroller to these pins, we will be able to flash the Atmeg328p microcontroller with the Arduino bootloader. The following components are required to follow this tutorial; 1. Prepare the Arduino as an ISP Programmer.

Sep 3, 2018 · The ATmega328p microcontroller is the beating heart of the Arduino Uno. Learn how to burn its bootloader in a few simple steps, so you can use it as a standalone unit.

Mar 24, 2025 · Among the programmers, the "Arduino as ISP" is the cheapest and most practical solution to burn a bootloader on another Arduino board with ATmega, 32U4 or ATtiny. The programming process uses VCC, GND and four data pins.

We’re going to use the Arduino UNO to bootload the ATmega328 that is sitting on the Arduino-on-a-Breadboard. This is fairly straightforward if you have an ATmega328P-PU, but needs an extra step for an ATmega328-PU. I’ll tackle the differences later in the Instructable.

Nov 23, 2018 · For using Atmega328 IC in place of arduino, first we have to burn Arduino Bootloader in it and then we will program it using FTDI or using Arduino Board. This tutorial will also help in replacing damaged Atmega328 IC from Arduino board.

Jun 25, 2024 · Power up your ATmega328! Learn how to burn a bootloader using an Arduino UNO as ISP (In-System Programmer) - Step-by-step guide for USA users.

Given you have wired it up correctly it's time to burn the bootloader. Under Tools > Board: make sure that you select "AtMega328 on a breadboard (8 MHz internal Clock)" as shown above in the second image. Under Tools > Programmer: make sure that you select "Arduino as ISP" as shown above. Run Tools > Burn Bootloader.

Apr 27, 2021 · In this tutorial, you will learn how to upload a bootloader in a newly purchased ATmega328P IC, and upload code in ATmega328P, ATtiny85, and ATmega8 using Arduino UNO board. In some Arduino projects, you may only want to use the microcontroller IC (ATmega328P) instead of using the whole Arduino UNO board.

Using an Arduino board to burn the bootloader onto an ATmega on a breadboard. Once your ATmega328P has the Arduino bootloader on it, you can upload programs to it using the USB-to-serial converter (FTDI chip) on an Arduino board.

Aug 30, 2018 · However, the atmega328p microcontroller cannot be used with the Arduino IDE until it is flashed with the Arduino bootloader. Our goal for this tutorial will be to understand how the Arduino bootloader works and how an Atmeg328p microcontroller can be flashed with it.
