Flashing /flash / upload / uploading / code / program to AtTiny85 how to / YT-video tutorial

Hi everybody,

I have done some research on the forum and the internet in general.
But I did not find real useful information yet.

I do have flashed two of these tiny AtTiny85-boards which are not a DigiSpark

But I do not remember how I did it.

What I have done so far is installing the "ZADIG-driver" micronucleus.
If I plugin the Attiny85-board I get an entry "Micronucleus" in the device-manager

I am still using Arduino-IDE 1.8.19
what do I have to adjust as board ?

What do I have to adjust as programmer?

Is there anything else to adjust here in thes options?

Looks fine to me.
Press the upload button before you connect the board to USB and only plug it in when asked.
If you plug in too early the bootloader has moved on to the application already.

Do you really need a bootloader (to upload code with the serial port) or are you bootloading just to set fuses?

I use the AATinyCore to bootload. I choose my options and

That sets chosen fuses, but does not write a bootloader, saving some SRAM.

Thank you very much !

I de-installed the ZADIQ micronucleus-driver
After that

installing the digistump-driver from

Digistump.Drivers.zip

made it work
Thank you very much for pointing me to this video that explains all the steps

I link again to it with keywords programming upload / uploading / flash / flashing

To make it easier to find.

Interesting detail. The AtTiny85-board appeard in this way in the dvic-manager
