When I try to upload I get the following message:
· Transpiling…
· Project was successfully transpiled. Searching for device…
· Port with connected Arduino was found. Installing toolchains…
· Toolchain is installed. Uploading…
Upload failed. ChildProcessError: Command failed: “C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\xod-client-electron\packages\arduino\tools\avrdude\6.3.0-arduino9\bin\avrdude.exe” -C “C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\xod-client-electron\packages\arduino\tools\avrdude\6.3.0-arduino9\etc\avrdude.conf” -p atmegang -c arduino -P COM8 -b 19200 -D “-Uflash:w:C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\xod-client-electron\upload-temp\build\xod-arduino-sketch.cpp.hex:i”
avrdude.exe: AVR Part “atmegang” not found.
Valid parts are:
uc3a0512 = AT32UC3A0512
c128 = AT90CAN128
c32 = AT90CAN32
c64 = AT90CAN64
pwm2 = AT90PWM2
pwm216 = AT90PWM216
The list of valid parts is quite long so I left out most of it. The end of message is,
When using the Arduino program i found that if I pressed the Rest button on the Arduino at the start of the upload I could get it to work otherwise it also failed.
The board I am using is an Arduino NG.
I have read some of the other Upload problems tried deleting XOD and re-installing but it still does not work.
The problem has nothing to do with those discussed in neighbor threads. As far as I see, the current version of avrdude (ATmega uploader) no longer supports atmegang as a target.
Can you ever upload blink successfully from Arduino IDE 1.8.x? If so, could you post its upload log verbatim here? I wonder what modification of NG do you have: with which MCU model?
I have 2 NG boards that were given to me a while ago.
The MCU's on the boards are different. One is ATMEGA8-16PU and the other is ATMEGA168-20PU.
The A8 board is running when powered and appears to have some version of the Blink program with different delay values. This board I have not been able to program with IDE 1.8.6.
The A168 board I have been able to program but only when I push the Reset Button on the board after clicking on the upload ICON.
The only thing in the log is:
Sketch uses 926 bytes (6%) of program storage space. Maximum is 14336 bytes.
Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1015 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 1024 bytes.
If I don't press the Reset button I can see the RX LED flash about every 4 or 5 seconds and eventually the Upload program times out and I get this:
Sketch uses 926 bytes (6%) of program storage space. Maximum is 14336 bytes.
Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1015 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 1024 bytes.

Problem uploading to board. See for suggestions.
Can I replace the MCU on these boards and get them working?
Is anything wired to the boards? I thought I had killed one of my boards because it could no longer update…turns out the only problem is I had wired the tx/rx pins (0 & 1 on UNO) to devices & it was disrupting the transfer. Seems that is the error I was getting…
I have no experience with NG’s. When I met Arduino back in 2010 it was already outdated. But some historical resources say that the manual reset used to be the right way to program a board. So the experience you get with A168 is OK and I think A8 is no longer supported at all. I don’t know wether replacing A8’s chip to ATmega168 will automatically make it the latter NG. The chances are high it will, but I’m not sure.
To put in summary.
You can use A168 with XOD: reset it on flash just as you do for Arduino IDE
