Description

Hi guys,

I think there is an error on the tutorial on the page: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ArduinoToBreadboard

To burn a bootloader to an ATMEGA328P-PU using an Arduino Uno, the tutorial suggests setting the board in the Arduino IDE to "Arduino Duemilanove or Nano w/ ATmega328" from the Tools > Board menu. (Or "ATmega328 on a breadboard (8 MHz internal clock)". However, trying as hard as I can, this will not work. Leaving the board set as an Arduino Uno works perfectly though.

Could this please be changed because I'm sure it confuses a lot of people.

Thanks,
Jason

Research direction

Open the ArduinoToBreadboard tutorial at the linked page and review its Tools > Board instructions for burning a bootloader to an ATmega328P-PU with an Arduino Uno. Update the board-selection wording to match the working Uno setup reported in the issue, then verify the tutorial remains internally consistent.
