Problems burning M0 bootloader with Atmel-ICE

[CarlaMSedze]

Hi all,

When trying to burn the bootloader on the Arduino M0 through the Atmel ICE, I get the following error:

"Error while burning bootloader: missing 'erase.params.quiet' configuration parameter"

Arduino IDE 1.8.5
SAMD core 1.6.16

Thank you!

I have the same error Arduino: 1.8.5 (Windows 7), Board: "Arduino M0"

Error while burning bootloader: missing 'erase.params.quiet' configuration parameter

Very few search kits on this issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @spacepilot , could you test PR #265 ? If you confirm that it works I'm going to merge it so it will become available in the next SAMD release, thanks!

Hi facchinm, Did as requested with no change.

@spacepilot , could you past here the verbose output when trying to burn the bootloader? Are you sure you are selecting Arduino SAMD core - Pull Request #265 from the Boards menu? Thanks!

I have the same issue. Tried your PR @facchinm and then I get a new error:

I might have killed my chip tho..

@albertskog are you on M0 or M0 Pro? You didn't break anything, simply the error message now makes sense (indeed, it doesn't find the programmer). Which is exactly your setup?

[albertskog]

It's a regular M0, Crowduino M0 to be precise. It looks like an Arduino M0 to the IDE. The programmer is an Atmel-ICE-Basic ("basic" just seems to indicate what cables comes with it) and I'm running on a Macbook Pro.

The reason I thought I might have killed it was I could not upload programs to it; after pressing reset it went into bootloader mode but then, after the bootloader port went away, no other port appeared, making it impossible to program over usb. I eventually resolved to trying to re-flash the bootloader to see if that would help, that's when I ended up here. Best part was after leaving it disconnected for a while as I was researching this, it suddenly started working again... 😒
