Error compiling about atmega328pb-testing

[awatterott]

Have you done the first installation step and added the files to the toolchain? Because the current Arduino toolchain does not support the ATmega328PB.

Thanks for the fast reply. I suspected as much, but, I couldn’t quite figure out which files to update. So, I’ve done some searching, but I don’t see arduino/hardware inside the Arduino application package. I do see an old Arduino/hardware folder within my user directory, but it’s empty and appears unused. I’m running on both mac and windows, so i’d have to do this change on 2 machines. On Windows I see Arduino/hardware inside the Program Files(x86) directory. I’ll take any hints you can throw my way…thanks! _Red

Okay — that works for sure under Windows (updating the files under Program Files(x86)/Arduino/hardware/… AHAH — I found the location on mac, it’s under: /Applications/Arduino/Contents/Java/hardware I think I got it from here! Thanks for putting together the great ATMega328PB package. _Red

FIXING COMPILE ISSUES

(Please add these details to your Readme file)

In order to follow the first installation step

Windows:
Arduino source folder to update is under Program Files(x86)/Arduino/hardware
Mac
Arduino source folder to update is under /Applications/Arduino/Contents/Java/hardware

Dealing with avrdude error part not found

I still got an avrdude complaining avrdude: AVR Part "atmega328pb" not found.
Solution:
Copy the following and add it to your avrdude.conf file, found under source folder /tools/avr/etc. You can insert the following after the "ATmega328P" section. For me it was around line 8506.

part parent "m328"
    id			= "m328pb";
    desc		= "ATmega328PB";
    signature		= 0x1e 0x95 0x16;

    ocdrev              = 1;
;

[awatterott]

I have updated the installations step. But AVRdude should work, because the BSP includes an avrdude.conf with the 328PB definition and this file is used by the platform.txt.

I've just had an identical issue to above, however I did the install with both .json URLs added to preferences as per instructions.
Solution was to downgrade the Arduino AVR Boards (in boards manager) to 1.6.200 (currently on 1.6.21) and then all was fine.

Hello, i am following the steps for the installation. I am getting the following error,
Error downloading https://downloads.arduino.cc/packages/package_index.json

Also, i see a warning in the verbose output,
WARNING: Error loading hardware folder C:\Users\hp\Documents\Arduino\hardware\ATmega328PB-Testing-master

I am trying to code my ATmega328PB board using Arduino ISP as programmer. Avrdude says,
Part m328pb not found.

Please help!!

Please follow the installations steps and use the Boards Manager for the installation:
