Nano via Leonardo as ISP = mismatch at 0x0002 every time

Using Arduino Avrdude, stk500, Bootloader issues
1

Hi,

I'm trying to program a Nano using a Leonardo as an ISP.

I've got as far as getting avrdude to read the device signature and fuse settings correctly:

Reading | ################################################## | 100% 0.00s

avrdude.exe: Device signature = 0x1e950f (probably m328p)

avrdude.exe: safemode: Fuses OK (E:FD, H:DA, L:FF)

but every time I try to program a sketch I end up with this:

avrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x0002
         0x40 != 0x5c

So it seems that nothing is actually being programmed at all. I've got the devices connected via their ICSP headers and the latest version of the ArduinoISP sketch loaded on the Leonardo.

Ideas welcome!

Here's the full output when trying to upload a sketch:

avrdude done.  Thank you.

the selected serial port 
 does not exist or your board is not connected

I've found a partial solution to this. If I do a manual erase of the flash on the Nano, it programmes correctly. I have to do an erase for every programming cycle.

Is there a way of automating this in the GUI? Is this even a safe thing to do?
