How To Install Boot Loader Arduino Uno Tutorial. 1/12/2018 0 Comments. Option 2: Using the Arduino as a Programmer The other option is grabbing an Arduino Uno (or Duemilanove). If you go into the Arduino IDE you will see an example sketch called ‘Arduino as ISP.’ If you upload this code to your Arduino, it will basically act as an AVR. Changing Arduino Bootloader Question (self.arduino) submitted 2 years ago * by itstimetoprosper So I'm trying to change the firmware on a custom, arduino-compatible board and am using an Arduino Uno as the programmer.
Active1 year, 11 months ago
I have a project with a Arduino Uno where I need to store a char** that is too big for EPROM.
I am currently trying to do it with serial but I could also use a AVRISP programmer if needed (Not preferable)
So far I have looked into the avr/boot.h API but I am not really sure how to use it properly or if it is even the correct way to do it.

From the ATmega328P datasheet, 'Boot Loader Support' section, 'Application and Boot Loader Flash Sections' subsection, 'Application Section' subsubsection:
... the SPM instruction is disabled when executed from the Application section.
Therefore there is no way to write to flash from the running program. Use an external memory device if you need to store more data than fits on-board.

The arduino (specifically atmel 328 versions) only allow you to write to flash memory when the bootloader allows it.
The standard bootloader allows you to write to flash when a new program is being installed, but does not allow runtime programs to write to flash.
Solution: Install a bootloader that does allow you to run functions that enable you to write to flash.
Here is a bootloader (featured on hackaday) for an arduino that allows you to write to flash memory during runtime http://majek.mamy.to/en/writing-to-internal-flash-on-arduino/

I don't believe that's correct. The 328p does have the ability to control what some instructions about where they are allowed to access. I didn't see anywhere that this wasn't possible and in some configurations it (328p) can write flash under it's own control.
I searched the data sheet for 'SPM instruction is disabled' and hit only on the ATmega 48a/48pa. Having confused myself many times with that datasheet reading about the wrong controller. This didn't ring a bell.
Copied directly from the datasheet (660 pages):
'The ATmega 48A/48PA has no separate Boot Loader section, and the SPM instruction is enabled for the whole Flash if the SELFPRGEN fuse is programmed (“0”). Otherwise the SPM instruction is disabled.'
The 328p has 'Lock Bit Byte' sets all of these controls, generally speaking.These also control what access they have.
I would think you'd want to put it into eeprom (which IS different)...

Now you need to find a working arduino board, doesn't matter if it is a nano or not, I have used my 'real' uno r3 and worked perfectly. If you don't already have one, try borrowing it from a friend.
.
If you have any grab your female - male breadboard jumpers. These will make the process even faster and easier. BUT I didn't have any so, instead of waiting 2 weeks for them to arrive online as well, I had to take some extreme measures!
.
First we need to locate and get familiar with the ICSP pins. On mine just one of them was marked with a number, top right as 1. Here is what they look like in the schematics. So right under 1 had to be 2 and next to one was 3 and so on...
.
Now that you are ready lets begin - do the following steps in order;
STEP 1 - Upload ISP
-Connect the working arduino to your computer.
- Open the arduino software on the computer
- Go to Tools>Serial Port>COM (and make sure that the correct COM port is chosen - ask me if you don't what this means)
How To Install Boot Loader In Linux
- Go to Tools>Board>Arduino Uno (in my case uno, this is the arduino that is already working not yet the other one)

- Go to File>Examples>Arduino ISP (a new sketch screen will open with the ISP code written in it)
- Verify then Upload (your board will start blinking for a bit, it means it is loading, wait until done uploading)
- Unplug the arduino. Now it has the ISP code in it, all we have left to do is connect them together and run a few commands again...
STEP 2 - Connect 2 arduinos together
- Now connect the two arduinos together, to do this without female-male jumper cables was time consuming, you have to be VERY CAREFUL and take your time bending the wires, other wise you may short your circuits. ask me first ! In the second picture you can see that first I put the ICSP pins through a piece of paper and then carefully wrapped around them the corresponding wires. Make sure they grab on very tightly, use a small flat head screw driver to bend them. Take your time, don't be rough.
- Connect them this way;
pin 1 on clone to D12 on working arduino
pin 2 on clone to 5V on working arduino
pin 3 on clone to D13 on working arduino
pin 4 on clone to D11 on working arduino
pin 5 on clone to D10 on working arduino
pin 6 on clone to GND on working arduino
STEP 3 - Burn Bootloader
Boot Loader Vista
- Keeping all the wires intact and unmoved in step 2, connect the working arduino back to the computer with the USB
- Go to Tools>Serial Port>COM (and make sure again that the correct COM port is chosen - ask me if you don't what this means)
- Go to Tools>Board>Arduino Nano w/Atmega 328 (this time we choose the non working arduino, in my case nano atmega 328)
- Go to Tools>Programmer>Arduino as ISP
- Go to Tools>Burn Bootloader (this is it, after the LEDs stop flashing your board is ready to use !!!)
.
Do all of the above steps in ORDER !!! no skipping steps

Always make sure that the correct COMM port and correct board are chosen before uploading a sketch to avoid errors...
if you want to learn more or get a second opinion you can check this post (it's amazing) or just search on google ' how to install a bootloader to arduino clone ' and you will see many articles on this very topic.
