[avrdude-dev] AVRisp MK2 and attiny4 not working

[Raffael Mancini]

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to flash an attiny 4 with an AVRisp MK2 using avrdude 
trunk and 5.11.1 but only got errors.

I've connected the ISP connector of the AVRisp MK2 to the uC according 
to TPI mapping described in 
http://www.nongnu.org/avrdude/user-manual/avrdude_20.html . The uC also 
has 5V connected to VCC.

This is the output I get when using avrdude:

$ sudo avrdude -p t4 -c avrispmkii -P usb -t -v -v

         Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override

avrdude done.  Thank you.

Did I understand correctly that I can program the tiny4 using my 
programmer with avrdude? If so, does anyone know why it doesn't work?

Greetings!
