MiniCore bootloader burn success but sketch upload failure

Using Arduino Avrdude, stk500, Bootloader issues
1

My objective: to have an ATMega328P (DIP package) on a breadboard running at 3.3V using the 8MHz internal clock.

My tools: I have an Arduino Uno (SMD version).

Steps taken so far:

  • I've followed this guide to burn a bootloader to the ATMega328P using my Uno as an ISP. I only deviated from the guide to select 8MHz internal, rather than 16MHz external under Tools > Clock.
  • I burnt the bootloader and received the output below - looks like it completed successfully.

avrdude done.  Thank you.
  • To load the sketch I built the attached circuit. However, because I have an SMD Uno I've connected the Uno reset pin to ground. I've connected the ATMega328P reset (pin 1) to +5V through a 10k resistor with a button to ground it which I press when the upload begins (as described here).

  • I open the blink example, press upload and receive this:

Access is denied.

exit status 1

Error compiling for board ATmega328.



This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

Could someone advise where I might be going wrong please?

After trying to upload the blink example I get:
