Hi,

Recently I am unable to upload any code in Sparkfun Blackboard C. The error is mentioned below.

Sketch uses 936 bytes (2%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.

Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2039 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

Also, I tried to burn bootloader using ARDUINO as ISP…

Error while burning bootloader.

Any solution please.

Hi,

One more thing that I have observed that avrdude device signature keeps changing .

hope that this gives some more clue.

I even changed the device signature in .conf file saved and reloaded arduino … still it didn’t work.

Hello.

Sorry to hear you’re having issues and I think you might have a bad board.

PM me your order number and I’ll see what I can do to help. :slight_smile:

Hi …board was purchased vide SparkFun Invoice

#1130963 in the month of January 2020.

I also have atmel ice basic programmer. Let me know whether this can be used to revive back the board.

Because of the age of your order I can’t send a replacement, but I can get you a store credit for this. Once that goes through you can use the store credit to get the updated version which is part number [SPX-16282.

Store credit ticket #23111 has been issued requesting that an amount equal to part# SPX-15296 get credited to your account. A customer service representative will process the ticket. When you want to redeem your credit, simply place a new order and once you are at the payment selection screen, select the gift certificate option and enter an the amount you want to use. Customer service should send an e-mail notification when the ticket has been processed. Please do not sent your device(s) back.
