Hello all,

I am new to microcontroller programming. I have a ATMega328P and AVRISPMK2 programmer with jungo driver (hence not able to use it with avrdude). I recently flashed the microcontroller with Optiboot bootloader with the help of Atmel Studio 7. Now i would like to write and flash application program in to the chip but without the programmer (since already bootloader program resides inside). How can i do it with Atmel Studio 7 since it asks for the programmer we use for transferring the contents. I hope the optiboot bootloader helps us in sending the application program via serial communication to the USART in micro controller. How can i transfer the program when i have a program written.

Regards

You can use MegunoLink Pro's Programmer option as you have burned Arduino UNO bootloader.

Thank you for the insight. I would try the same. Can you tell me about the hardware connection.? Is it enough to use usb-ttl converter and connect to the USART of the microcontroller ?

I have used Arduino with MegunoLink pro and it works. I have used USB. I don't know about UART method for using MegunoLink Pro. Arduino has a separate chip which communicated with the USB port of PC. I think MegunoLink pro also uses AVRDude. Try it and see if using USB2TTL Converter works. when you open the MegunoLink Pro at the right side there is a toolbox and you have to pin it. After that select Program Device and in that using drop down option use Program Device or Download option.

I have used Arduino Serial option for programming Arduino boards. I have also used AVRISP mkII option.

Hi

Thanks for the idea.. Is it possible to write programs in it and upload it without arduino board ?

It can't be used to write program. It is not a Compiler. I used it to upload .hex file to Arduino without a programmer. Check your Private Message. I have left a message.
