Error during downloading with Arduino IDE 1.8.8 on Ubuntu 18.04 64 bits.
“avrdude: Expected signature for ATmega32U4 is 1E 95 87”
Board is installed and available, port is also available.
If Arduino IDE 1.6.6 running on Windows 7 is used, everything is fine.
What could be the source and the fix for this issue?
Hello.
I moved your post to our A-Star and Orangutan subforum, which seemed more appropriate.
The current version of the Arduino IDE is 1.8.7, which is probably what you meant. Are you programming your A-Star 32U4 via USB or ISP? If you are using a USB cable to upload your sketch to the A-Star, can you use that same cable on your Windows machine to see if you get the same problem? If you are trying to program the A-Star through its ISP headers, which AVR programmer are you using and can you post a picture showing how the programmer is connected to your A-Star? Also, can you enable verbose output in your Arduino IDE on your Ubuntu machine (if it is not already), try programming the A-Star again, and post a copy of the entire output? (You can enable verbose output by selecting File->Preferences in the IDE, and then checking the “compilation” and “upload” boxes next to “Show verbose output during:”.)

Mauvais microcontrôleur trouvé. Avez-vous sélectionné la bonne carte dans

It looks like you are able to get your A-Star into bootloader mode but cannot read the device signature. Since you are able to program the A-Star from your Windows computer using an older version of the Arduino IDE, it seems the Arduino IDE version you are using on your Linux machine is probably causing the issue. Do you get the same behavior if you try programming the A-Star using Arduino 1.8.7 in Linux? Is there any particular reason why you are using an hourly build version of the IDE to program the A-Star?
- Amanda
Q - Do you get the same behaviour if you try programming the A-Star using Arduino 1.8.7 in Linux?
R - Yes, I get the same behaviour. Even when using the same previous 1.6.13 version of the Windows machine, I’m getting the same behaviour.
Q - Is there any particular reason why you are using an hourly build version of the IDE to program the A-Star?
R - I download the hourly build version to get the most updated features and bugfixes.
- Michel
You mentioned in your first post that you were able to program the A-Star using Arduino 1.6.6 on your Windows computer. Are you still able to program the A-Star using that version (1.6.6)? Are there any other components or devices connected to the A-Star when you try programming it other than the USB cable? Where did you get your A-Star board? Is it possible that the A-Star’s bootloader might have been modified before it came into your possession?
- Amanda
Q1: Are you still able to program the A-Star using that version (1.6.6)?
A1: This a typo error, in fact the Windows version is 1.6.13 and yes I’m able to program the A-Star with this version.
Q2: Are there any other components or devices connected to the A-Star when you try programming it other than the USB cable?
A2: No other devices connected to the A-Star.
Q3: Where did you get your A-Star board?
A3: I bought the A-Star from Pololu.
Q4: Is it possible that the A-Star’s bootloader might have been modified before it came into your possession?
A4: I don’t know, but the bootloader works fine on the Windows machine.
Regards
Michel
In case you have not already done so, can you copy the A-Star’s udev rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/ and see if that changes anything?
- Amanda
The A-Star udev rules ile is copied to /etc/udev/rules.d/.
No change. The same issue.
I will move to Windows and buy A-Star micro to complete the project.
The objective of the project is to develop a 12 Vdc General purpose controller with RTC, 4 relays, I/O , I2C, and RS485 network.
Do not hesitate to reply if you have some news about this issue.
Thanks for your support
Regards
Michel
We tried reproducing your problem using Arduino 1.8.7 on Ubuntu 18.04 and an A-Star 32U4 but were unable to and programmed the A-Star successfully without any issues. At this point, it seems there might be something wrong with your Linux computer.
Looking at your build output in more detail, the 0x3f portion of the 0x3f0d0d “signature” returned by AVRDUDE is the ASCII question mark, which is sent by the A-Star 32U4 bootloader when it receives an unrecognized command. 0x0d is the ASCII carriage return, which is also sent by the bootloader in response to some commands. Perhaps another program is connecting to the A-Star’s bootloader’s serial port before AVRDUDE and sending some invalid commands to it.
