Did you install the bootloader first? –  Edgar Bonet Jun 3 at 14:09
    
Additionally, if you wired ATmega pins directly to RS232 levels without level translation, your chip may be damaged. You can buy a replacement with a bootloader preinstalled at a small premium, or use another Arduino or a programmer or even some other development board to load the bootloader into a good chip. –  Chris Stratton Jun 3 at 16:08
    
It is a pre bootloaded chip –  Karthick Ashwath Jun 3 at 17:12

You never described the problem. –  Gerben Jun 3 at 18:23
