Could someone be kind enough and tell me what I have got wrong.The board has a atmega 324 microcontroller chip. I get the following message when I try and upload the sketch to my board.
Error while uploading: missing 'upload.tool' configuration parameter
What do you have selected in the Tools>Board menu? Is this a 3rd party hardware you installed and if so which one? The cause of the problem is probably that the boards.txt file for that board doesn't specify upload.tool.
