Update: Just installed crystal and capacitors on the board and tried to burn boot loader again. 

Success on both processors. Thanks for all the help!

Thanks,

After i tried on a windows machine I will order a crystal (and caps unless i have them) from RS here in Hong Kong, with luck Ill have it tomorrow.

Instead of Arduino IDE, what method would you recommend to burn boot loader?

[StefanG]

        Programmer Type : USBtiny

         Description     : USBtiny simple USB programmer, http://www.ladyada.net/make/usbtinyisp/

avrdude: programmer operation not supported

avrdude: Using SCK period of 10 usec

avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1

         Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override

         this check.

avrdude done.  Thank you.

Error while burning bootloader.

ah.. well thats a problem, too. I just wrote the one default in the IDE…

Hi again,

I know all to well what you mean by feeling silly after finding an error… Arduino is s re experience for me though.

I did not have an external crystal installed, since the processor is not supposed to need one, I did not install it.

I think that might be second on my todo list..

First is to try to make an install on a Windows laptop and see how that work, I have been trying on My iMac up until now.

This will give me a full new setup and different software installation so if the result is replicated I can look into the programmer or cable.

As I said, I am beginner so I have mainly used the Arduino IDE to send write boot loader command to the programmer.

[StefanG]

Thanks,
I got the same result with one other processor that I bought from RS and also should be with factory settings. I think it is unlikely that both would write halfway once, even if it might happen.

I have resolve red every joints and checked that the processor have correct vcc. The green light on the programmer is lighted and the red flashes once before I get error message rc=-1
