I developed a project with the winavr tool chain. Now I want to test it with my new uno r3 but the arduino ide seems not to be providing a stand alone upload tool.
I know a small software named xloader, but a command line tool is preferred because it'll be easy to cooperate with makefile. So any tool for recommending?
The Arduino IDE uses avrdude to upload sketches. You can just run avrdude from command line. If you turn on Verbose logging in the IDE from File->Preferences. When you upload a sketch with the IDE you should see the command line example of avrdude.
@Achan:
The below command script runs under Vista/Win7 ... maybe Win8 but untested. I designed it to read a 328P-PU chip in a UNO with the Adafruit ZIF socket shield. After reading, the script will prompt for a blank chip, write the flash, eeprom, and all fuses: L, H, E.
Pick apart the stuff you need. You must customize the serial port, the uC, the programmer...

Note that MrBurnett's script goes far beyond what is necessary to write arbitrary .hex files to an Arduino. It erases the bootloader, deals with the fuses, and uses a "hardware programmer." You can upload to an ordinary arduino using the bootloader that is already present with a command like:
avrdude -c arduino -P com9 -p ATMEGA328P -b 115200 -U flash:w:myfile.hex
Note that avrdude is not normally put into windows/etc program paths; look at the output produced by uploading with the "verbose" preference enabled to see where it actually lives, and other command-line switches that are probably needed to point it at assorted configuration files.
