Bootloader hanging on field application -2560 about ariadne-bootloader HOT 7 CLOSED

What I think that will fix your issue is downloading the AVR toolchain from here http://www.atmel.com/tools/ATMELAVRTOOLCHAINFORWINDOWS.aspx. I have never compiled an AVR program on Windows so I cannot warn you about any potential issues you might encounter with the process.

Other than that, I am interested in seeing your fixes, which is gladly welcomed.

I solved the compiling issue. Apparently you need to compile the target atmega328 to generate some .o files that are used when compiling the atmega2560 target and the debug2560 target.

Its a bug on the makefile. I wont try to fix that. I might break something... my makefileism`s skill are not good.

I will do some more testing with the modded bootloader, that includes the wdt, and if successful post the fixes.

Correction: it's actually a difference on the pgmspace.h from the winavr toolchain vs the atmel toolchain.
The make file is correct.

Created the pull request. Still sometimes the signature seems to be corrupted and the bootloader doesn`t start the application.... a fresh upload solves this. Main thing is that the board is no longer hangable.

The problem was fixed, but still everytime the application resets it hangs on the bootloader. Never allowing the user app to run. I even tried to enforce the eeprom signature write on the user app, to trick the bootloader but no avail.

A fresh upload, that is a firmware "update", fixes the problem...Probably deactivating the eeprom signature check fixes it... but that seems a bit like a cludge.

Help please?

Can you give me more information? Have you tried increasing the WDT timer to give more time for the bootloader to load?

Edit: Nevermind my suggestion, just noticed that you set it to 8 seconds.
