not in sync: resp=0xbe and programmer is not responding

Sorry, but what exactly does that mean? I'm new to arduino

Tell us how you are connecting the ST1149 board to your computer.

The example shows Ft232:

"We use FT232 program downloader(ST1125) connect the board
to the computer,the using software in the computer is as same as arduino uno.

Board PC
Vcc========== 5V DC
Gnd========== Gnd
RXD==========TXD
TXD==========RXD"

I am guessing you should connect the DTR lead from the FTDI Programmer to the DTR lead of the ST1149 board.
