avrdude done. Thank you.
As allways.
I have tried everything in every forum/blog/guide etc... Dont think this ATMega is geared for this bootloader.
The most frustrating is that the board works perfectly... I burn the Fio bootloader (with my AVRISP MK2 in Arduino IDE) to it and program my sketch also via the MK2 then it works. But with my serial board NEA... And don't get me wrong the serial board works.. I did the loop test and I can get a serial stream from the board and display it in serial monitor. But I always get the sync error when I try to upload a sketch.
Any Suggestions ????
Just to Add I know both TX and RX works because I successfully loaded this sketch and it worked.
