Timeout no uploading no arduino mega 2560

[colp]

I'm having problem in uploading the sketch to the board Arduino Mega 2560. It seems that this occurs when the sketch exceeds 13,000 bytes. For code with less than 13,000 bytes uploading is successful.

I'm using Windows 7, Arduino Mega 2560 and IDE 1.0.2. I have also tried the 1.0 IDE, and continues with the same error.

Please could someone help me?

Below is the result of uploading:

it can solve your problem.

There are various problems with the current bootloader.
If you can reprogram the bootloader please try this one:

https://github.com/cmaglie/Arduino/blob/06ee62afc66e9917b3dc38bcf496de0e1a3d7d7d/hardware/arduino/bootloaders/stk500v2/stk500boot_v2_mega2560.hex

I'm going to merge this one upstream once I receive sufficient test reports.

#1183

I assume this solved with the proposed fix. Feel free to reopen if needed.

How to check whether the bootloader is loaded successfully or not?
And I have seen that Arduino seems that done bootloading when I am trying to bootloading through the Arduino as ISP with ATmega2560 to be programmed and Arduino Duemilanouve as programmer. So is bootloader correctly installed?

If yes, then I am trying to upload the blink code to ATmega2560, then it gives the error of avrdude stk500v2_getsync() timeout and Receive timeout.

Please help me.

Hi @Chirag2239 , I think your problem can be related to #388, however I have to test it to be sure.

In the meantime, please give a try to this PR #3500, I don't know it the updated ArduinoISP sketch is enough or if you also need to update avrdude to version 6.1 (arduino/toolchain-avr#17). As soon as I can test it I'll post here a proper solution

I've had the same problem and the solution is. Download XLoader and upload to your arduino.
