Hello,

Is it possible to use an Arduino UNO board as programmer for the AVR 
toolchain under Linux ?

I have made few tests, everything goes well until "make upload" which 
fails :

-> with the original ATMEGA328 from the Arduino board :

avrdude -c Arduino -B 5.0 -p m328p -P /dev/ttyACM0 \
  -U flash:w:./ComponentTester.hex:a -U eeprom:w:./ComponentTester.eep:a

avrdude: AVR device initialized and ready to accept instructions

avrdude: NOTE: "flash" memory has been specified, an erase cycle will be 
performed
         To disable this feature, specify the -D option.

avrdude done.  Thank you.


-> with a brand new (blank) ATMEGA328 :

avrdude -c Arduino -B 5.0 -p m328p -P /dev/ttyACM0 \
  -U flash:w:./ComponentTester.hex:a -U eeprom:w:./ComponentTester.eep:a

Thanks in advance for your feed-back
