avrdude: verification error

Hardware The Arduino Starter Kit
1

Hi everyone !

I am a french guy so sorry for my english ...

I just buy a arduino starter kit. I am at the project 05 and I suddenly had this problem :

avrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x0000
0x0c != 0x62
avrdude: verification error; content mismatch

I don't understand what does that mean because I didn't do anything special.

I am on debian and arduino1.0.5.

PS0: Sorry If I am not in the good section of the forum.
PS1: I have some problem to write english but I can totaly understand.

That means the boot loader has tried to write the value 0x0C to the arduino's memory but when reading it back has read the value 0x62.
The 0x in front of the number means this is a hexadecimal number.

This means that your arduino is broken in some way.

Read the trouble shooting Guide in the Installation and troubleshooting section of the forum.
