How was your problem solved? because i have run in to a similar problem.
when im trying to upload the blink sketch i get the the following error:
avrdude: please define PAGEL and BS2 signals in the configuration file for part ATtiny13
avrdude: please define PAGEL and BS2 signals in the configuration file for part ATtiny13
then the led on the attiny goes high but does not blink.
i am confident that my connections from the arduino(duemilanove with 328) i correct
parts and software used:
arduino duemilanove with 328p proccessor
10uf capacitor between reset and ground
arduino isp sketch loaded
arduino IDE 1.0.1 on OSX10.8.2
core 13 attiny13 core
there where no hardware folder i my arduino folder so i had to create one. and the core13 is now placed in /Users/gaggenau/Documents/Arduino/hardware/Core13/cores/
the boards.txt is placed in:
/Users/gaggenau/Documents/Arduino/hardware/Core13/
i guees the fact that i can choose attiny13 and compile the sketch in the IDE means that the placement is correct?
