Re: [avr-chat] Introduction, and flashing bootloaders with a USBTiny programmer

[Weddington, Eric]

Hi Pierce,

I also saw your problem description on the Arduino dev mailing list.

Can you post the command line you're using? And any capture of the output 
you're seeing.

BTW, next time you can also just post this on the avrdude mailing list. ;-)
