I just upgraded to IDE 1.6 and reinstalled the attiny85 board. Im using the Sparkfun Tiny Programmer. First time through with a new tiny everything worked fine. I did get a red message of...
"Third-party platform.txt does not define compiler.path. Please report this to the third-party hardware maintainer."
but the bootloader and upload worked fine. The code was the sample blink sketch. I made a change to the delay and tried to re-upload and got this error message...
"avrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x0100
0x63 != 0xb0
avrdude: verification error; content mismatch"
I am unable to upload on that chip anymore. I can however use a new chip and everything will work fine the first time through but on any re-uploads it fails. I'm using the core for arduino 1.5 from here Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting. I've read other people having success with this core just don't know what I'm missing.
Any help would be appreciated!

That reminds me I had the exact same error with ATTiny cores 1.5 and IDE 1.6
After a bit of googling around, what I did was follow the advice here and modify the hardware\tiny\avr\platform.txt file from the tiny cores to add:

Now I don't understand. If you didn't solve the first error in the compile stage, how do you manage to get a compiled version ready to upload ?
I would suggest to try to fix the compile error first, and only when you are confident that part works, start working on the upload phase.
