Attiny85 upload error

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Anyone have any experience with this error :

avrdude: Error: Could not find USBtiny device (0x1781/0xc9f)

I'm running this with IDE 1.8.5 under Ubuntu. Same situation with Mint as well.

Tried a few different hardware cores but all give the same result.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

What type of ISP programmer are you using?

I'm using the USBTinyISP. It's one of these dev board show in the attachment.

I think I may be able to answer my own question here. This solution seems to work for linux and arduino IDE 1.8.x

  1. Add digistump in additional boards menu (file --> preferences) :

http://digistump.com/package_digistump_index.json

  1. Install digistump-avr in Board Management

  2. Create a file here ---> /etc/udev/rules.d/digispark.rules Add this line to it :

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="16d0", ATTR{idProduct}=="0753", MODE="0660", GROUP="dialout"

Use the default (16.5mhz) digispark board and USBtinyISP for programming.
