I just got your Uno R3 board (SKU: CE05629) and successfully loaded it with ‘Blink’ project that is part of Arduino IDE. However I could not load the GRBL project (I tried latest GRBL 1.1h). Programming stops after about 96% and reports ‘avrdude: stk500_paged_write(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x10’ I tried multiple times using different USB cable and both Arduino IDE and avrdude from command line without success (attached programming log from avrdude output). Please advise.

As found in this forum, others have had very similar issues in the past with the avrdude. It seems that a suitable solution to the issue is to add a 10uF capacitor to skip over the reset pulse. Hopefully this will help you get your project functioning correctly.
Thanks for quick reply. I studied the linked thread that you posted and it seems to be about Arduino programmed with another Arduino that works as an ISP. The capacitor is needed for the Arduino that is used as a programmer. In my case I have only one Arduino that is being programmed using its bootloader. So this appeared to be a different problem.
I just posted this question to the Arduino forum (the one from your link). Fingers crossed
I tried the suggested capacitor solution but it didn’t help. Even the Blink project didn’t load any more:
Sketch uses 924 bytes (2%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.
Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2039 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

A test program showed that I can only program about 28.5k of flash into my UNO R3 board. If going above this I start getting the protocol error. Is this normal? I have only one Arduino board so can’t compare. The core electronics product description states “Flash Memory: 32 KB (ATmega328) of which 0.5 KB used by bootloader” so based on this the board is defective. The test code is below. I had to strip it a bit as this forum doesn’t let me that much text in one message.

I have successfully loaded your code on two UNO R3 boards.
Added the 50 missing lines to each function. See Compiler response below.
Both boards flash the LED as expected.
Programming was via USB cable from PC to UNO, ie the cable supplied with the UNO board.
Unsure if that is how you are programming or not.
Command line avrdude is pretty basic and unforgiving, it can kill the ATMega328P if you the set the fuses incorrectly. The IDE programmer is the best to use.
Sketch uses 28784 bytes (89%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.
Global variables use 27 bytes (1%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2021 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

EDIT: Just noticed, in your original post the fuses are 0 that is not good. They should read something like this :-
avrdude: Device signature = 0x1e950f (probably m328p)
avrdude: safemode: hfuse reads as DE
avrdude: safemode: efuse reads as FD
avrdude: safemode: hfuse reads as DE
avrdude: safemode: efuse reads as FD
avrdude: safemode: Fuses OK (E:FD, H:DE, L:FF)
Hi Jim. Just want to be sure. Did you use the Arduino Uno R3 (the AU$39) or the Uno R3 clone (AU$12)?
I normally use the IDE to program. The only reason I used the command line was to be able to kill the programming as IDE doesn’t seem to have such ability and to add extra verbosity options.
I just got the AVR ISR programmer and will try to burn the code with it tonight. Hopefully will be able to check the fuses too. The fuse values from board.txt file for my board look ok (0xFF/0xDE/0xFD). Not sure why the compilation output shows zeros. (I have good embedded background but it’s my first time to deal with Arduino and ATmega so I might not know some basic stuff.)
I get same fuse values when programming the Blink project that programs and runs just fine:
Hi Pavel, The UNO R3 clone ($12) is what I am using.
UNO plugged into PC USB port and running
avrdude -c arduino -p m328p -P COM7 -b 115200 -v
The following is output, which is similar to what you have, showing fuses to be 0. I have never programmed a UNO via this method, so I don’t know if it works.

AVR Programmer plugged into PC USB port and ICSP port on UNO. I have used the AVR programmer successfully many times. Maybe this is what you need. Unsure. At least it gives the actual values of the fuses. Most likely they are still valid in your case. avrdude -c usbasp -p m328p -v

Fuse values make more sense. The ATmeg328P datasheet explains in detail what the fuses should be. It is just one point to check and eliminate as a reason why it is not working. Seeing 0 for the fuses was my concern, but as a working UNO shows 0 for the arduino programmer but the correct values for the AVR programmer probably it is nothing to worry about. Sorry.
I ordered 2 more Uno R3 boards and now can say that the first board is most likely defective. Using the same setup the 2 other boards programmed just fine while the first one failed again with the same error. My guess is that the chip internal fuse logic is broken and thinks that the BOOTSZ fuse bits are set to zero (even though AVR programmer reads them as ‘11’) what reserves the bootloader size to 2048 words. This is consistent to what I see using my flash test code where I can program 28584 bytes of flash but not 28684.
In my early Arduino days I bricked a ATMega 328P chip with misuse of avrdude.
Nick Gammon has excellent information on his forum. I was able to use this to get the ATMega 328P working again. Your first UNO board is most likely ok except for the ATMega328P. Replace this and you should have 3 working boards.
Yes, as James said it sounds like there’s been some kind of internal error with the ATMega (Assuming 328p). If that’s not what’s causing the issue it’s almost certainly the board (it’s likely not the interface in this case), either way it sounds like it’s only a faulty part which needs to be replaced. Be sure to let us know if there’s anything that we can do to help.
