Failed chip erase: uploading error: exit status 1

I have the following connections between the ICSP pins on the Atmega to the AtTiny85:
1 -> Pin 1
2 -> VCC
3 -> Pin 2
4 -> Pin 0
5 -> Reset
GND -> GND

Furthermore I have added a 10 nano-F capacitor between GND and RESET on the Atmega.

I used the standard ArduinoISP to flash the Atmega2560 with the following settings:

After succesfully flashing the ArduinoISP script to the Atemga2560 I tried to burn bootloader with the following settings:

Processor: AtTiny 85
Board: AtTiny 25/45/85
Programmer: Arduino as ISP
Clock: External or Internal 8 MhZ (Tried both got the same error).

Which tiny85 core are you using?

3

My receipt says AVR 8 Pin 20MHz 8K 4AD

This thread will answer the question, "what is a core" >> Explain what is meant by "Arduino core" - Arduino Stack Exchange

You must choose the right board in the IDE Tools, Boards menu to load the right bootloader to the right chip.

I have found the best (in my opinion) core for the tiny85 class parts to be the ATTinyCore by Spence Konde. The core is available via the IDE boards manager and installation instructions are available in the GitHub page that I linked.

The ATTinyCore makes it easy to choose the bootload options like processor type, clock speed, clock source, etc.

If you still have trouble, please post a wiring diagram showing how the tiny85 is connected to the Mega and all other wiring.

Alright,

I tried using that core with the Optibooter and no booter options.

I got the same result with the optibooter and I got "Requires programmer" for the "no booter" option.

As for my diagram here is a "modular" version of it:

I have described the pins verbally in my original post.

Looks OK.

Why didn't you label the wiring? I had to look up the pinouts to trace the wiring. I should not have to do that.

ATtiny85's anticipated signature is 1E 93 0B. If you want to override this check, use -F or double-check chip. Bootloader burning error.
