I connected an Arduino Trinket Pro to a USB port on my Windows 7 computer, and I downloaded the USB tiny ISP driver. Actually, I'm not sure if it worked--"USBtinyISP AVR programmer" shows up in my devices under USBtiny/hardware, but when I select the "driver" tab it doesn't allow me to update the driver.
Anyhow, when I am in the Arduino IDE under tools/board there is no "Trinket" board in the list. We have a class full of students who want to use the Trinkets and no one was able to get them to work, on any computer. I don't knoew what the specifics are for everyone else, but my main problem seems to be not finding "Trinket" under "boards" in the IDE. there are other boards I tried, such as "Arduino Pro or Pro Mini with Atmega 328", but no results with that one either. Please help me. I have to find out how to fix this problem before class starts on Monday-- or risk turning off 20 young robotics enthusiasts.

Re: Trinket Pro not showing up under Tools/board
You have to add Pro Trinket support to the Arduino IDE.
Please see these instructions:

Re: Trinket Pro not showing up under Tools/board
I now have the latest Arduino IDE (1.6.5), and have added the Trinket Pro to boards-- thank you for the instructions. I connected a Trinket Pro 5V and selected Pro Trinket 5V 16 MHz FTDI as the board, and tried to run a Blink sketch. This is the error message I got:
avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "\\.\COM1": The system cannot find the file specified.
I just noticed that I no longer have the selection of serial ports I had with the previous version-- there is only COM 11. In the previous IDE I had the option to select several different ports, including USBtinyISP. Someone else downloaded that driver for me, and I'm not even sure we managed to get it to work. How do I get the USB tinyISP selection back again, so that it works?

Re: Trinket Pro not showing up under Tools/board
The (FTDI) board selection is only if you are using an FTDI Friend or FTDI cable for programming. These implement a serial port.
If you are connecting to the Pro Trinket by USB, there will be no serial port. You select the Pro Trinket (USB) version from the boards list, and ignore the serial port.
Make sure you have Tools:Programmer set to "USBtinyISP"

Re: Trinket Pro not showing up under Tools/board
Yes, I changed that and I got the Blink sketch to work. Now I'm having trouble with the Adafruit_SoftServo library (I'm trying to make the Trinket Rover). I see Adafruit_SoftServo when I go to Sketch, Include Libraries, but when I select Adafruit_SoftServo and hit "include", a blank line appears in the sketch, and when I try to compile, I get this error message:
Arduino: 1.6.5 (Windows 7), Board: "Pro Trinket 5V/16MHz (USB)"
sketch_jun21a.ino:1:32: fatal error: Adafruit_SoftServo.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Error compiling.
This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
enabled in File > Preferences.

If you are running windows go to c:\users\<user name>\Documents\Arduino\libraries and see if there is a folder by that name containing your file.

Re: Trinket Pro not showing up under Tools/board
I see this is an old post, but I just came across the same problem.
I don't see the pro trinket in the list of boards.
I use the Arduino IDE 1.8.5 app on windows 10 Home
Hope someone can help me out, after prototyping on a Uno I first soldered everything with the trinket. Was eager to see the result...
edit found the way to add the board, now get this error-report:

How did you install the board support package?
