Posted · replace ATMEGA chip

Hello,

i have a KO motherboard V2.1.1

U6 and D16 was burned. i have replaced them and i recovered 5V and 3.3V.

But ATmega2560 don't boot...

my question is: if i replace the atmega with a new one (virgin) what is the process to upload firmware ?

i need to install a (special?) bootloader first or just plug my USB cable and upload with Cura ?

thanks

    I think it will depend on where you source the replacement 2560 from... I don't think the chip comes with a bootloader from ATMEL. So places like Digikey and Mouser probably sell it blank. You would need a programmer.

    I think you have a couple options:

    Get a programmer and burn the BL yourself.

    Use another Arduino as a programmer and burn it yourself.

    Or buy a arduino mega 2560 r3 clone for as cheap as possible ensuring that the package type of the 2560 is the same as the one used on the motherboard and then desolder it and transfer it to your motherboard.

    Good overview of the BL upload process: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/installing-an-arduino-bootloader

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
