ATtiny85 - report error "Device reports version as: 2.2"

Question

I've bought ATtiny, from see link. Trying to upload a basic Blink sketch I get this error: Device reports version as: 2.2.

1) Board manager was updated using http://digistump.com/package_digistump_index.json

2) Board selected as Digispark (Default -16.5MHz )

3) Programmer set to Micronocleus

Tried using some guides on-line, but some were old, some were for windows, while I'm using Ubuntu machine.

Appreciate any help, Guy

It sounds like you have a newer board than the version of Micronucleus in the Arduino package.

As I discovered here you basically need to upgrade micronucleus in your Ardino installation, which you can download from here

• Download the zip file from Github and extract it. Then in a terminal (if you're not already in one) go to the directory you extracted.
• Build the executable by typing "make"
• Copy the compiled executable to ~/.arduino15/packages/digistump/tools/micronucleus/<version>/

where <version> is the currently installed version number (e.g., 2.0a4). There should already be a micronucleus executable in there that you would replace with your newly compiled one.

• guyd: a `2円.04a' directory was inside that path you noted ( was added after adding digistumb's board manager
• Majenko: @Guy.D Where abouts in the path?
• guyd: micronucleus after built was move to noted directory. But directory already contains an instance of micronucleus, inside a directory 2.0a4. Should I delete it ? ( didn't help ). Seemed that didn't matter
• Majenko: Replace the existing one with your newly compiled one
• Majenko: Make the directory again and move the file into it.
