Problem installing tftp boot package

[Stylmast]

Hi,
I'm having a problem installing the boot loader package.
The library & hardware file are as the step one part 6 of the freetronics site.
But when I check the tools/board/TFTP bootloader ATmega328 (No upload)- is not listed.
Library show up in the examples OK.

Regards

Scott

Please double-check the location of the "arduino-tftpboot" folder in your hardware folder.
For example, the main hardware folder is in the folder that contains all your sketches, such as:

I have the same from hardware on as your example.

Were you able to fix this problem? I am having the same issue. I'm working with an Arduino Ethernet board and following the instructions on this page: http://www.freetronics.com.au/pages/how ... YMZZPlVikr

I moved the arduino-tftpboot folder into the hardware folder in this path: Program Files(x86)>Arduino>hardware since I don't have a sketchbook folder
I also tried putting the arduino-tftpboot folder in Documents>Arduino>hardware

tools/board/TFTP bootloader ATmega328 (No upload)- is not listed in the Arduino IDE

I have the same problem. Please enlighten us...

Maybe it would be a great idea package the tftp-bootloader as a new "board" recognizable by new official Arduino Board Manager. This would facilitate the installation a lot and it would give a "second" life to this great piece of software (http://www.freetronics.com.au/pages/how ... -a-network should be updated accordingly, of course).

On the other hand...do you know https://github.com/codebendercc/Ariadne-Bootloader? Do you think you could share ideas between these two projects?

No, I couldn't.

I realize it's been a year since anyone posted on this topic, but...

I was able to get the board to show up in my boards file by coping my boards.txt file from its original location (arduino-tftpboot) to a new location (arduino-tftpboot/bootloaders).

However, even though the board shows up, I'm not able to use this to burn the bootloader. I keep getting the error:

""
Arduino: 1.6.9 (Windows 10), Board: "TFTP Bootloader ATmega328 (No Upload)"

java.lang.NullPointerException

Error while burning bootloader.

Any ideas?
