Infinite bootloading mode

Post by jsk99 »

Hello, I am trying to upload a program to my Gemma but the problem is it won't accept it. When I plug the Gemma in it goes into a infinite bootloading mode and is acting as if it is being reset every time it finishes the boot-loading process. So I am not able to download any programs to the device.

Is the red LED pulsing? What operating system are you using?

The red LED is pulsing and won't stop as long as it's plugged in. I am using Windows 8.1.

Do you have a Uno? You can try repairing the bootloader according to these instructions:

I attempted to reload the bootloader to the Gemma and now when I plug it in it does not go into the bootloader. Even if I push the button on the Gemma the red LED remains off.
