I tried something new and completely different! I read the ‘.hex’ file from a store bought programmed chip using AVR Studio and then burned the resulting .hex file to a blank chip. Voila... Works like a charm! With the bootloader now installed I can now program my Arduino 328 chip using the Arduino program. I've only tried it with the 'blink' program but I'm now getting the RX - TX Lights flashing while programming so I'm sure it's working fine... In addition to programming the 328P chip with my own .hex file I burned the following Fuse and Lockbits below: Fuses: Extended 0xFD High 0xD6 Low 0xFF Lockbits: 0xCF Thanks for making me think :) ... John Hi Again,

In addition to programming the 328P chip with my own .hex file I burned the following Fuse and Lockbits below:

Fuses: Extended 0xFD
High 0xD6
Low 0xFF

Lockbits: 0xCF

Thanks for making me think :) …

I do need some additional help if possible... I've tried your above example with my STK500 V2 with no luck. I am using the 328P chip and programming it for the Arduino UNO. I wire the STK500 V2 as stated above and plug in a brand new Amtel 328P in the Green Socket, then setup everything in AVR Studio. I do setup AVR Studio for the Amtel 328P instead of your 168 above. I then read the 328P signature successfully. I then write the 'ATmegaBOOT_168_atmega328.hex' file and verify. No problems!! When I try and write the Fuses and Lockbits I do get verify error msgs. I've looked everywhere for the values to plug in here, but everyone has a different opinion on what to enter. I've tried the fuse calculator and am at wits end here... Could you please guide me in the process of programming the Fuses and Lockbits? I would greatly appreciate it! Sincerlely, John Hi,
