Hello AAC forum,

Although the Tiny Programmer 11801 has been used successfully
a couple of times before, on Tuesday, April 29 after the sketch is compiled in Arduino IDE V 2.3.5,
when the sketch is sent to the Tiny Programmer the IDE returns:
"Failed programming: uploading error: exit status 1 "
The setup to sending the sketch is:
Win-11 USB port and the Ardino IDE set to Board: ATTiny…85, Processor: ATtiny85, Clock: Internal 1MHz and
Programmer: USasp (Attiny CoreBtiny)
After the setup at “Tools” at the “Sketch” tab the “Upload Using Programmer” option is chosen.
Have tried several times with same result.

At the Sparkfun forum it was suggested that the USBTinyISP programmer be used.

Tried selecting the USBTinyISP. It worked once then subsequent attempts to upload to
the Atttiny using Arduino IDE V 2.3.5, when the sketch is sent to the Tiny Programmer the IDE returns:
"Failed programming: uploading error: exit status 1 "

I have two Sparkfun Tiny Programmer 11801. Neither work.
Tried different ATtinies. Tried different ports. Tried different cables.
Tried plugging the Tiny Programmer directly into the USB on
the laptop. Tried different sketches like the Blink sketch in the
IDE Examples.
Attached is a screen shot of the set up at the Arduino IDE Tools tab.

Have tried running the Bootloader Result:
Error while burning the bootloader: Failed chip erase: uploading error: exit status 1

The various articles and tutorials like
https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/tiny-avr-programmer-hookup-guide/all
have been scoured for hours but no solution can be found,

I am dead in the water until I can get the sketch uploaded to
the microcontroller.

Thanks.

The messages prior to the final exit status message are the ones that might have the answer to what is wrong, but they’re not visible. Can you paste the entire log in code tags?

 

I bought an AVR programmer some time ago. After spending many hours of research and experimenting I never got it to work. In the end, I used an Arduino micro as a programmer and followed instructions on how to use an Arduino Uno to program an AT Mega328. It was successful so I wired the micro as a programmer, with the 10 pin IDE interface. I added plug-on programming fixtures for ATMega328, ATTiny 84 and 85. It made programming very easy and reliable. I can post the details if you are interested.
