Reflash Arduino Bootloader Using a USBasp

How to reflash a bootloader to any Arduino based board using a USBasp.

A user requested how he could reflash a bootloader to a MPX v3 mainboard.

MPX v3 is a HICTOP board clone and is a Arduino MEGA2560 based board

I installed those USBASP drivers a long time ago. As I was using the USBASP only in conjunction with AVRDUDESS.exe, everything was fine. Somehow I never got the USPASP to work with the Arduino IDE, but I never really cared.
Now I'm working on a new project and programming a ATTINY directly from the Adruino IDE would be very helpfull.
This video was the decisive clue why the USBASP would not work with the Arduino IDE. Back then I installed the USBASP with the wrong library... Reinstalled it today with the here recommended one and everything works flawlessly.
Many thanks for this informative and very helpfull video. Thanks Thanks Thanks!

you sir are my hero for pointing the way to Zadig. my new favorite software

Very good video...just the facts. Clear voice, no GD music in the background and every step explained. Rate 10/10 (and I see lots of how to videos)

Your video saved me a whole lot of time. I did not know about zadig, and the cable order swap at (10 pin out) was misleading at first. All cool, leonardo back to live again! Thank you very much for sharing this knowledge :-)

This video saved my bacon! Thanks so much for being accurate and thorough!!!

Got this error message:

avrdude: Expected signature for ATmega168 is 1E 94 06
Double check chip, or use -F to override this check.
Anyone has the same problem? Any solution?

Thanks a lot, went straight to the goal. Good luck.

Thank you so much!!! Very informal indeed! You just earned one more sub and helped so many people with usbasps! 😁

Is the boot loader preloaded or part of the Arduino Software? Do I have to download a boot loader from Github? What if I want to use Optiboot? I know Optiboot is on Github.

saludos y muchas no sabía que hacer, para recuperar mi arduino. sigue adelante

I don't have the aspusb module but or several TTL modules. I am looking for a code so that I can fix the bootloader directly from the computer.

Thank you mate!
You helped me a lot!
Nice video.
Good job!

I'm trying to reflash bootloader onto my bricked MKS Rumba (whose USB port stopped working) with my ASP, which seemed successful but upon uploading Marlin via ISP, my board is still dead... so do I need to get my USB working again in order to properly upload the code?

Hi there just wondering how you got Anet A8 v1.0 on the boards under tools? Thanks

[logicsolution]

Can this be the same if I use Arduino ATmega32U4?

[IsmaelPR]

I have tried this to burn a boot loader with this method to a Rambo Mini board but it fails no matter what I try.

[donaldhenke]

it doesnt take very long to burn it? does it?

asp usb can be used to reflash arduino uno ?

Excuse me I have one question for you...  When you say USBasps do you mean USBasps or USBasps 2.0 or will both work?
 thank you,
