I recently got a hand full of ATTiny's and there is a some projects I would like to build but this requires burning the software onto the chip(s). When I try to load the AurduinoISP There is many errors, expected since the Max32 is in fact not an Arduino. Anybody else have this issue? Solutions?

The chips I am looking to use are the ATTiny4313 ATTiny84A ATTiny85

Here is the list of errors

Yes, among other things this code appears to be accessing Atmel SPI registers. This needs to be ported to use PIC32 SPI registers. Unfortunately due to legacy issues, Arduino libraries cannot be used within Arduino libraries so this type of code, rather than using the abstracted SPI lib talks directly to chip registers.

I done a similar port in the past. It can be a daunting task depending on your experience.

This is an issue that is being wrestled with in both the Arduino and chipKIT development communities.

I'm trying to convert an Arduino project to chipKIT right now and another issue this your program has is that Serial.readBytes does not appear to be implemented on chipKIT.
