I am trying to burn the arduino bootloader to an atmega328. I am using a sparkfun Pocket AVR programmer connected to an arduino Duemilanove board through the 6 pin CSP header. I went through all of the hassle getting the drivers working for the Pocket AVR.
I open the Arduino IDE and select “Burn Bootloader → usbTiny”
I get the following error:
"avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check."
I have seen some people online receiving this error through the command line. They fix this by using the -B option. However, I don’t know how to change the programming options in the Arduino IDE. I also am not convinced that this is the proper correction to this issue.
