Sanguinololu with at1284p

Hello,

I'm struggling with this one for a couple of days, and decided to come here and ask for some tips...

I'm trying to upload a Marlin firmware to a sanguinololu but without success...

I'm working with both a raspberry PI3 (arduino for ARM) and a normal PC with Linux LXLE (64-bit Ubuntu based) and the results are the same. I've also tried different AT1284p chips, just to cover the remote possibility that the new one is damaged.

What I've done so far:

• Bought new AT1284p chip
• Installed it in the sanguinololu board
• With the great tips from [dustsreprap.blogspot.pt] I was able to install sanguino in the arduino IDE 1.6.9 (actually based on [github.com])
• With an arduino UNO acting as ISP, burned the bootloader to the AT1284p
• To test it, uploaded an example sketch (examples/communications/ASCII table) with the "normal" programer - AVRISP mkll. Everything goes fine.
• Success, with the Serial Monitor I can see the ascii table "arriving"
• Then, with the exact same board options, I compile and try to upload the Marlin Firmware to it, and it gets stuck between 4% and 40%. The most common error is "avrdude: stk500_paged_write(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x62"

What can I be doing wrong??

Thanks, Joao Silva

Answering my own question as I kept trying until I got it

With an arduino UNO acting as ISP, I burned again the bootloader to the AT1284p. I configured the arduino IDE to be verbose in the upload (file / preferences / "show verbose output during" - tick upload).

I then copied the burn bootloader command that was (YMMV):

/home/jabss/Desktop/arduino-1.6.9/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude -C/home/jabss/Desktop/arduino-1.6.9/hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf -v -patmega1284p -cstk500v1 -P/dev/ttyUSB0 -b19200 -Uflash:w:/root/.arduino15/packages/Sanguino/hardware/avr/1.0.0/bootloaders/optiboot/optiboot_atmega1284p.hex:i -Ulock:w:0x0F:m

This command doesn't mention any fuses, so considering the burn fuses command from [reprap.org],

avrdude -p atmega1284p -c stk500v1 -b 19200 -V -e -U lfuse:w:0xD6:m -U hfuse:w:0xDA:m -U efuse:w:0xFD:m -U flash:w:ATmegaBOOT_168_atmega1284p.hex:i

I merged both commands, by adding the fuse flags to the initial command, resulting it in (ran it from the command line):

/home/jabss/Desktop/arduino-1.6.9/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude -C/home/jabss/Desktop/arduino-1.6.9/hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf -v -patmega1284p -cstk500v1 -P/dev/ttyUSB0 -b19200 -Uflash:w:/root/.arduino15/packages/Sanguino/hardware/avr/1.0.0/bootloaders/optiboot/optiboot_atmega1284p.hex:i -Ulock:w:0x0F:m -V -e -U lfuse:w:0xD6:m -U hfuse:w:0xDA:m -U efuse:w:0xFD:m

I'm now able to upload a complete Marlin Firmware with no problem.

Now the question is if the fuses from [reprap.org] are correct, (LF=D6 / HF=DA / EF=FD) as it seems people from this forum are reporting to be using different ones.

Hope this helps people in the same situation as myself.

Cheers,
Joao
