Burning the Arduino bootloader with PA-328d

The following was tested with Arduino 1.8.5.

You'll need:

Configure the USBtiny-compatible

Configure the PA-328d

Configure the Arduino IDE

  1. Under Tools > Board: select Arduino/Genuino Uno.
  2. Under Tools > Programmer: select USBtinyISP.

It doesn't matter if a sketch is loaded in the editor.

Burning the bootloader

Plug the USBtiny compatible in to your computer via USB. Then for each ATMEGA328P-PU you want to burn the bootloader onto:

  1. Insert the ATMEGA328P-PU into the ZIF socket and lock the latch.
  2. In the IDE, select Tools > Burn Bootloader and wait a few seconds for the process to complete.
  3. Unlock the ZIF socket and remove the ATMEGA328P-PU.

Repeat the above as needed for additional ICs.
