Stalker v2b boards.txt fix has been done by myself!

End-Of-Life Products & Services Tech support before 2012
#1

I’ve been suffering from the lack of support after buying one Stalker v2.0 beta. This board is just a real beta, nothing more than a beta. ^^

After getting to know more about Arduino and AtMega328. I found a fix for the operating clock problem.

Just add the following lines to your boards.txt at arduinoxxx/hardware/arduino/…

##############################################################

stalker328.name=Arduino Duemilanove or Nano ATmega328 NoXtal 8MHz

stalker328.upload.protocol=stk500
stalker328.upload.maximum_size=30720
stalker328.upload.speed=57600

stalker328.bootloader.low_fuses=0xFF
stalker328.bootloader.high_fuses=0xDA
stalker328.bootloader.extended_fuses=0x05
stalker328.bootloader.path=atmega
stalker328.bootloader.file=ATmegaBOOT_168_atmega328.hex
stalker328.bootloader.unlock_bits=0x3F
stalker328.bootloader.lock_bits=0x0F

stalker328.build.mcu=atmega328p
stalker328.build.f_cpu=8000000L
stalker328.build.core=arduino

I’ve copied the original Arduino Duemilanove configuration into a new stalker328 config, then changed only the .f_cpu parameter into 8Mhz. That’s all you have to do folks! This configuration will change the entire system clock value.

After saving the modded boards.txt, you have to choose your new board setting by following Tools>Board>Arduino Duemilanove or Nano ATmega328 NoXtal 8MHz .

Good luck for you who bought a Stalker v2b with no luck!

Hi xronos,
Thanks for your post.
Yes, we can add the board to the Arduino Board menu.
But Stalker V2b works well with “Arduino Pro or Pro Mini (3.3V, 8 MHz) w/ ATmega328”.
Stalker V2 final version will solder the extern 8MHz Crystal.
The V2 final is under testing, will be restocked soon. :smiley:

And it will look like:

StalkerV2b.name=Seeed Stalker V2b Atmega328p internal 8MHz

StalkerV2b.upload.protocol=stk500
StalkerV2b.upload.maximum_size=30720
StalkerV2b.upload.speed=57600

StalkerV2b.bootloader.low_fuses=0xD2
StalkerV2b.bootloader.high_fuses=0xDA
StalkerV2b.bootloader.extended_fuses=0x06
StalkerV2b.bootloader.path=atmega
StalkerV2b.bootloader.file=ATmegaBOOT_168_atmega328_pro_8MHz.hex
StalkerV2b.bootloader.unlock_bits=0x3F
StalkerV2b.bootloader.lock_bits=0x0F

StalkerV2b.build.mcu=atmega328p

StalkerV2b.build.f_cpu=8000000L

StalkerV2b.build.core=arduino

Thanks

That worked great thanks alot!!

Thanks Albert!

That’s what the beta Stalker V2 users have been waiting for. What about some peripheral sample codes? We are suffering from the lack of code support for a while. RX-8025 thing is the real pain in the ass. Will there be a download for everything soon? I’m watching you!

Good luck!

I am sorry for the code is not upload to the wiki.
I will clear up the code, and upload to wiki document page.

Thanks
Albert
