AVRdude & Arduino
AVRDUDE is a command line tool to program AVR chips. It runs in the background of the Arduino IDE. When burning the bootloader on an Arduino clone it is somtimes necessary to erase a chip or set the fuse bits manualy - that's when the AVRdude comes handy.

avrdude -C <arduino-ide-folder>/hardware/tools/avrdude.conf -v -p <partno> -c <programmer> -P <port> -b 115200 -U flash:w:<full_path_to_hex>:i
| -C <config-file> | specify location of configuration file |
| -v | verbose output-v, in case you want to debug something |
| -p <partno> | specify AVR devicee could be atmega328p or m8u, … |
| -c <programmer> | specify programmer type could be stk500v1 or stk500v2, … |
| -P <port> | specify connection port could be /dev/ttyACMx (Linux $ ls /dev), or COMx (Win) |
| -b <baudrate> | override RS-232 baud rate |
| -U <memtype>:r w v:<filename>[:format] | memory operation specification, the <memtype> is either flash or eeprom; r,w,v means r (read) w (write) or v (verify) |
| <full_path_to_hex> | is the hex filename and location |
The fuse settings are in /Arduino/hardware/arduino/avr/board.txt
ATmega32U4
To erase the chip:
sudo avrdude -p m32u4 -c stk500v2 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -e -F
ATmega328p
To erase the chip:
sudo avrdude -p m328p -c stk500v2 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -e -F
ATmega168
set the fuse bits:
avrdude -c stk500v2 -p m168 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -B 6 -v -U lock:w:0x3f:m -U lfuse:w:0xff:m -U hfuse:w:0xdf:m -U efuse:w:0x0:m
Atmega8u2
It is the chip for serial to USB on the Arduino Uno and on the Usb2Serial board.
On the Arduino Usb2Serial Light Board the ISP header is marked wrong, pin 1 is the nearest one to the Atmega8u2 chip.
Burning Serial to USB:
The hex file is in the arduino folder:
cd /usr/share/arduino/hardware/arduino/firmwares/atmegaxxu2/arduino-usbserial/
sudo avrdude -p m8u2 -c stk500v2 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -b115200 -U flash:w:Arduino-usbserial-uno.hex:i
Burning Serial to USB on Sparkfun Atmega8u2 Breakout Board:
sudo avrdude -p m8u2 -c stk500v2 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -U flash:w:Arduino-usbserial-uno.hex:i
Burning Serial to Midi:
The hex file is here: http://hunt.net.nz/users/darran/weblog/52882/Arduino_UNO_MIDI_USB_version_02.html
sudo avrdude -p m8u2 -c stk500v2 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -b115200 -U flash:w:MIDI_Firmware/Arduino-usbmidi-0.2.hex:i
