can load sketch but cannot burn bootloader avrisp mkii pure Arduino

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards
1

Setup:

  1. Arduino 1.6.5 only (NO atmel studio, no jungo drivers)
  2. Arduino Uno board (chip has been erased / programmed so there is no bootloader)
  3. AVRISP MKII programmer

I can successfully "upload using programmer", but I get this error when trying to burn bootloader -

avrdude: usbdev_open(): did not find any USB device "usb"

I have found some forum posts about customizing txt files but my default boards.txt seems to already match what these forums call for. here it is for the Uno

Any ideas?

Odd. I don't see how you can use the programmer in one case but not in another. 1.6.5 bug?
I'm still using 1.0.6, waiting for that stuff to settle out - but I also just do 328/1284/2560 parts, not the 32-bit stuff.

Ok good idea! I installed 1.0.5 and I can burn the bootloaders now. Thank you.

I guess I should notify someone of a bug....
