Burn Bootloader to Chinese Arduino 2560 with AVR ISP programmer

Question

I got my hands on one of these ISP programmer for Atmel AVR microcontroller in USB stick design:

Then I selected Progammer > AVR ISP and clicked on Burn Bootloader but it says

stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding.

Has anybody any experience doing this and if so, could they point me in the right direction?

Edit: I've also added the following to programmers.txt

mySmartUSB.name=mySmartUSB
mySmartUSB.protocol=stk500v2
mySmartUSB.communication=serial
mySmartUSB.program.tool=avrdude
mySmartUSB.program.extra_params=-P{serial.port}

Answer 1

That error is common and usually means you either have the wrong board selected or the wrong port. Check the tools menu. Be sure you have the port for the programmer and not the port for the board if the board is also connected.

Answer 2

What if you use another Arduino to burn bootloader on your Arduino 2560? Check this(click here) tutorial on my Github page. Maybe this will help.
