hello,   

    I have build this board having Atmega2560, using ISP as programming  interface. I can detect uC using 'usbasp' even I can programme it but  nothing executing. I tried changing fuses to FF, D9,FD but again no luck. There is another issue if I use atmel ice then can't detect uC in atmel Studio programming mode but if I use Arduino Ide then it can upload the code using atmel ice but again no luck in executing any chunk of code. :(

There is not enough information to even help a little. Do you have an LED that you can flash or anything else that can be used as an indicator in a minimal program?

Thanks for reply Jim. Yes I have LED even relays on board.  Which are not toggling, I tried both ways using internal RC oscillator or external crystal using mega core bootloader but useless no response even tried changing 3 different uC's.

Is _Reset pulled permanently low? ISP happens with _Reset pulled low so that might work but if it remained low the chip would never come out of reset and would never begin to execute code.

What is VCC? Is the BOD set correctly?

Your missing the xtal, once you set those fuses it will no longer communicate with your ISP programmer as it has no clock!

Thanks for reply, looks like this was culprit there was short between pullup and ground which made reset pin about 1v

That photograph I took before I added crystal and changed fuse to external crystal. Problem I found was short between ground and reset pullup. Thanks for the suggestion
