AVRDude / Programming Arduino Bootloader takes 10+ Minutes
Programming an arduino bootloader on an ATmega328 is taking on the order of 10-15 minutes to complete.

Here's the command I'm using:
avrdude -patmega328p -c buspirate -P /dev/tty.usbserial-A6005lHR -e -Ulock:w:0x3F:m -Uefuse:w:0x05:m -Uhfuse:w:0xDA:m -Ulfuse:w:0xFF:m -U flash:w:optiboot_atmega328.hex

Here's the initial output:

Code: [Select]
Detecting BusPirate...

**  Bus Pirate v3b
**  Firmware v5.10 (r559)  Bootloader v4.4
**  DEVID:0x0447 REVID:0x3043 (24FJ64GA002 B5)

BusPirate: using BINARY mode
avrdude: AVR device initialized and ready to accept instructions

Any ideas why it is taking so long?  Have I missed something?

AVRDude / Another avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-2
I have a PCB coming back with a TQFP ATmega328.  I was hoping to program it using the bus pirate.  As a practice run, I thought I'd try programming my Arduino Uno's ATmega328. 

I have connected all of the signals between the bus pirate and the arduino's ISP header with jumper wires.  I have rechecked the connections multiple times.  From the BP, I can hold the Arduino in reset.  I can also control it with the power supply commands.  These steps have given me some confidence that I didn't get confused on the connections.  I have also tried (as a troubleshooting step) of swapping MOSI and MISO.

Ignoring the Arduino IDE for a moment, here is the output I am getting from avrdude:

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

BusPirate is back in the text mode

avrdude done.  Thank you.

BP's Self-test passes with 0 errors.

Host is running OSX 10.6.8.

I'm open to suggestions on how to make this work.
