avrdude trouble

Hello there. I'm a beginner, so bear with me: I have an arduino duemilanove board, and am attempting the following command

avrdude -p m328p -U flash:r:"/home/mikhail/test.bin":r -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -c arduino

however I get the following error:

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

i've looked about the interwebz, and this seems to be a common issue, but in this case, the board works perfectly (I can upload/whatever with the arduino ide program).

My os is arch linux (if that helps anything)

thank you!

When uploading in the IDE you can hold the SHIFT key and then you will see the avr_dude command as called by the IDE. Think you will spot the differences in no time :wink:

Do you have a recent version of avrdude? The older versions didn't support the "toggle DTR/RTS line" feature which is needed for auto-reset. I'm currently using V5.10 on a Mac.
