[AVR] Can't program atmega328p and device signature always chanching

Hello guys,

I was here medling with a just bought new atmega328p chip,

and all was going well, then i read the High fuse = 0x07, and in my infinite wisdown i decided to turn off the WDTON,

so i send the command : avrdude -p atmega328p -c buspirate -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -U hfuse:w:0x17:m

So now i can't program it at all, and when i try to put back the fuse like it was before with the -F flag i get :

Attempting to initiate BusPirate binary mode...
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-2
avrdude: AVR device initialized and ready to accept instructions
avrdude: Device signature = 0x58b463
avrdude: Expected signature for ATmega328P is 1E 95 0F

avrdude done. Thank you.



Furthermore when i insist several times i notice that the Device signature is always changing to similar values,

My question now is, did i damaged the chip just by disabling the WDTON fuse ?

If i did how can i recover it ?

You might try using different baud rates using the -b option. The device signature changing may show that there is a serial baud rate mismatch corruptin data.
