... An example command line for programming an Atmega88 under MacOS X: avrdude -p m88 - stk500v2 -P /dev/cu.usbmodem000010471 -e -U flash:w:blinkled.hex AUTONOMOUS OPERATION (STK500v2 mode): When the button is held pressed for 5 seconds programmer enters command logging state. In this state it will execute and log all commands received from the PC software in its internal FLASH memory. When the button is pressed again, programmer will enter its normal state where commands will be executed but not logged ...

... RC value writes to FLASH from normal data ones. TIP: Sometimes AvrStudio will issue FUSE/LOCK reads when the corresponding tabs are selected. This, however, will be recorded by the programmer command logging state. So for best results it is recommended to issue all commands in a predefined order. This is achieved ...
