I have had problems with this programming board. It is set up correctly seems to be an AVRISP MKII.

I received the following error messages upon flashing with avrdude:

It is hard to identify the issue since my version of the programming board doesn't have such great documentation.

Thanks in advance!

This bug was causing the problems. I simply reverted to the previous version of avrdude (5.11.1) and it worked. By now there is an even newer version of avrdude (6.3), this bug might no longer be a problem in latest version.

Here are some steps:

  1. Revert to an older version of avrdude either by using sudo apt-get install <package-name>=<package-version-number> OR sudo apt-get install <package-name>=<package-version-number>
  2. Check if it works: avrdude -p <your part name> -c <your programmer name (avrispmkII)>

  3. You might have to specify a port. Use something like ''watch ls /dev/tty*'' to find your device if you get an error like this one:

    (trusty)chandran@localhost:~$ avrdude -c avrispmkII -p t85
    avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "/dev/ttyS0": No such file or directory

    avrdude done. Thank you.

Here is what it will look like when you get it right:

(trusty)chandran@localhost:~$ avrdude -c avrispmkII -p t85 -P usb -vv
