Arduino Leonardo: error exiting bootloader

I tried to upload my code to an Arduino Leonardo through theArduino IDE, but:

avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding
Found programmer: Id = "ю"; type = ё
Software Version = h.; Hardware Version = u.M
avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: error: buffered memory access not supported. Maybe it isn't
a butterfly/AVR109 but a AVR910 device?
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
         Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
         this check.

avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: error: programmer did not respond to command: leave prog mode
avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: error: programmer did not respond to command: exit bootloader
avrdude: error: programmer did not respond to command: exit bootloader

What is wrong? How do I fix this?

I had the same problem and it seems it was because the global variables were taking up too much memory space. I managed the upload through the following actions: 1. Reduce sketch size (<60% dynamic memory is ok) 2. Connect the USB cable just before the upload starts. Doing this, the problem went away. (I am using a Leonardo beetle board)

There are some tips:

  • This is very often error message when you using damaged cable to upload your code. Try it with another cable.
  • If you are using AVRISP mkII try to switch to USBasp
  • Check if you have current version of Arduino IDE.
  • Check your circuit. It could effect the communication.
  • Go to the Board manager :

Board Manager in Arduino IDE

Than select latest version of support of your board and click install button.

enter image description here

  • You can try burn new bootloader:
    1. After connect the AVR-USBASP from your computer to the arduino board, open the arduino IDE and click on Tools menu and under the Programmer sub-menu select USBasp. Be sure that USBasp driver is installed!

Select USBasp as programer

  1. Then, click on the Burn Bootloader to start burning the bootloader under Tools menu.

Burn boot loader

  1. After few minutes the Arduino IDE should show this message:

Done burning bootloader
