avrdude: setting SCK period to 32 usec
avrdude main() error: initialization failed, rc=-1
- double check the connections and try again
- use -B to set lower the bit clock frequency, e.g. -B 125kHz
- use -F to override this check

avrdude done. Thank you.

Failed chip erase: uploading error: exit status 1

Perhaps this post can help

I simply googled "initialization failed, rc=-1"

i have the 328p which is a tiny surface mount and its mounted on a board. i have wires soldered to it correctly to reset, mosi, sck...etc...
it always says failed to erase and error: initialization failed. Tried another board but same result. on win10 64bit and it could be driver related but i am trying all i can find in fourms. just trying to get boot loader installed.

4

Are there any other components connected to those MOSI, MISO, SCK and RST pins via the traces on that board? e.g. a SPI radio module device?

5

Do you have them connected like:
If you follow the ISP Header 6-pin and connect the
MISO to the MISO on the chip SCK to SCK on the chip?
i.e. not like using the MISO for communications.

I have been using a USBasp board for my ATTiny84 with great success.

Do you have a bootloader you plan on loading? Last time I loaded a bootloader I used optiboot but there are newer better bootloaders out there.

Next thought, do you really need a bootloader? I've been using boards without the bootloader. You only need the bootloader if you want to program it through the serial pins.

6

yes i have it connected pin to pin as in:miso to miso sck to sck reset to reset mosi to mosi and 5v and gnd respectively. i am using the bootloader in the arduino ide for atmega 328p

i don't think so. it is on a flight controller but the radio module is removed. It is an old oversky mul a flight controller I got several cheap to learn with and i can't seem to update the 328p. i used dozer's tutorial and the only thing different is i am using a usbtinyisp instead of the usbasp that he uses. i may remove the surface mount chip on one and try it that way to eliminate any other signal interference.
