Arduino programmers errors
All test are done whith Tools | Programmer: set to usbasp
After compiling the IDE shows something like
Sketch uses 2,458 bytes (7%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32,256 bytes. Global variables use 234 bytes (11%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1,814 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.
System issues
Running journalctl -xb shows in the optput:
nov 27 13:59:52 hostname systemd-udevd[359]: /etc/udev/rules.d/99-USBasp.rules:4: Unknown key 'SYSFS{idVendor}'
The SYSFS key is deprecated and replaced with the ATTRS key 1)
Change SYSFS to ATTRS in: /etc/udev/rules.d/99-USBasp.rules
gtk-icon-sizes error
Arduino IDE 1.6.11 To be solved:
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: Error parsing gtk-icon-sizes string: ''
This can be ignored
Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Install libcanberra-gtk-module
No serial port
When looking in Tools | Port there is no /dev/ttyACM0 port
- Open a second IDE by loading an other program and check the port there. Then check in the original IDE
- Install gnome-system-tools
When java.lang.NullPointerException thrown while loading gnu.io.RXTXCommDriver occurs do, as root, in a terminal
add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
cannot set sck period
avrdude: warning: cannot set sck period. please check for usbasp firmware update.
This warning can be ignored. The upload is probably succesfull
can't open device
can't open device (1)
ser_open(): can't open device "/dev/ttyACM0": Permission denied ioctl("TIOCMGET"): Inappropriate ioctl for device
Do as root or with sudo
usermod -G dialout -a user chmod a+rw /dev/ttyACM0
and maybe
udevadm trigger
can't open device (2)
avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "/dev/ttyACM2": No such file or directory
Possible solutions
- Disconnect the Arduino, reconnect the Arduino
- Disconnect the Arduino. Reconnect an other Arduino. Check (and set) the port. Reconnect the first Arduino
- If you are using an USB hub connect the Arduino directly to the computer
- Remove the microcontroller from the Arduino, disconnect the Arduino, reconnect the Arduino
- Reprogram the ATmega 16U2 or 32U2 USB interface microcontroller on the UNO via its ISP connector
can't open device (3)
avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "/dev/ttyACM0": No such device ioctl("TIOCMGET"): Invalid argument Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions. Board at /dev/ttyACM0 is not available
The Arduino is not connected or the powersupply is turned off
Possible solutions
- Check if there is an other device
- The ATmega 328p might be defective
could not find USB device
avrdude: error: could not find USB device with vid=0x16c0 pid=0x5dc vendor='www.fischl.de' product='USBasp'
Check if the (right) box is marked to select the port under Tools | Port in the Arduino IDE
Try without USBhub, with an USBhub, with an other USBhub
With ISP
For Windows
- Download the Nirsoft USBDeview program and run it
- Connect the ISP device to the USB port
- Now check in USBDeview if the address of the ISP device is VID_16C0 PID_05DC
- Download the Zadig 2.4 driver
- Install the Zadig program
- Run the Zadig program
- Select libusb-32win (v 1.2.6.0)
- USB ID: 16C0 5DC
- Click on Install Driver
- Check in Device Manager if the USBasp device is installed properly
- Restart the Arduino IDE
- Test if it works by loading a program
- If it still does not work uninstall, in device manager, the usbasp driver
- Run the Zadig program again
- Select libusbK (v 3.0.7.0)
- USB ID 16C0 5DC [empty box for 2 digits]
- If the field in front of the Edit checkbox is empty give the driver a name like libusbWK
- Click on Install Driver
- Check in Device Manager if the USBasp (USBaspWK) device is installed properly
- Restart the Arduino IDE
- Test if it works by loading a program
- You can ignore avrdude: warning: cannot set sck period. please check for usbasp firmware update.
- Then it worked for us
A similar approach for Windows
- In Device Manager uninstall all USBasp and alike drivers
- Start the Zadig program
- Select libusbK(V3.0.3.0)
- In options select USBasp
- Now the default USBID 16C0 05DC (do not change this)
- Click on Replace Driver
- Check in Device Manager for libusbK USB Devices and if it has indented USBasp
- Now it should work
Programming issues
cannot open shared object file
When using the 1.6.5-r5 IDE
/opt/arduino-1.6.5-r5/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Use the latest IDE or t.b.d.
Programmer is not responding on an Arduino UNO
The sketch compiled fine. When you get
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
- Check if your microcontrollerchip is a ATmega328 or ATmega328p
- Check if the ATmega328 / processor is properly seated in the socket
- Check the port setting in the Arduino IDE. It should be /dev/ttyACM0 on Linux
- If it is not /dev/ttyACM0 then try connecting the Arduino directly to an USB port on the computer. Do not use an USB hub. If needed restart the Arduino IDE
- Check if there is a capacitor between RESET and Ground. There should NOT be one.
- Check if the serial monitor works by inserting a preprogrammed ATmwga328p with output for the serial monitor into the Arduino UNO
- For an Arduino Nano try the Tools | Processor: “ATmega328P (Old Bootloader)“ option
- Check if an other Arduino works
- The ATmega 328p on the Arduino UNO might have no bootloader or be defective. Try to reprogram the bootloader
- The ATmega U16 / U32 might be defective. Maybe reflashing it solves the issue. How to do that: t.b.d.
- Try reading with Serial Monitor (CTRL-Shift-M) if some program in the ATMega delivers output
Permission denied
avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "/dev/ttyS0": Permission denied
This is the wrong USB port. /dev/ACM0 is needed. If your are using an USB hub then connect the Arduino UNO directly to the computer. Restart the Arduino IDE, if needed, and try again
avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "/dev/ttyACM0": Permission denied
- Close the Arduino IDE
- Make sure serial.port=/dev/ttyACM0 is in /home/user/.arduino/preferences.txt or in /home/user/.arduino15/preferences.txt is set
- As the user execute the groups command and check if dialout is in the list
- If not execute as root usermod --groups dialout --append user
- Log out and login again
Problem uploading to board
Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.
There might be a terminal program like Putty or screen which holds the connecion. Find it, terminate it and try again
Incircuit programmer issues
Board at /dev/ttyACM0 is not available
If you get
Board at /dev/ttyACM0 is not available
The ATmega328p is probably defective. The fact that Board at /dev/ttyACM0 is not available is mentioned does not mean anything because with a good ATmega328p there is no issue, the programmings goes as expected.
Burning the booloader
If you get at some point
Error opening serial port '/dev/ttyACM0'.
That is no problem. The ISP will program anyway. Probably using /dev/ttyS0
Programmer is not responding with an ISP on Linux
The output of lshw (run as root)

This, UNCLAIMED, indicates that the ISP is not seen by the rest of your Linux installation

The ATmega328p is probably defective
The sketch compiled fine. When program the sketch and you get

The ATmega328p is probably defective
If you get
avrdude: warning: cannot set sck period. please check for usbasp firmware update. avrdude: error: program enable: target doesn't answer. 1 avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1 Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override this check. Board at /dev/ttyACM0 is not available
The ATmega328p is probably defective. The fact that Board at /dev/ttyACM0 is not available is mentioned does not count because with a good ATmega328p there is no issue, the programmings goes as expected.
If things go not as expected
Check and reconnect
- Check if all pins off the ATmega328p are correctly in the socket
- Disconnect the Arduino wait 20 seconds and reconnect it
Restart the PC
- Turn off / disconnect the arduino
- Turn off the PC
- Disconnect the PC from the mains
- Press the power button of the PC
- Wait a minute
- Turn on the PC and start over again
