Hi all,
Okay, so Iv'e compiled a firmware and got the hex file.
It's time to go for production 
Now the arduino IDE uploads the hex using the pre-loaded bootloader on the ATMega chip.
BUT what if I'm buying a clean "off the shelf" ATMega chip without having a boot loader on it ?
Options are:
- JTAG burn the arduino bootloader and then load my hex firmware.
- JTAG burn my hex firmware.
Can anyone advise on the way doing each option above with respect to the requierd software/programmer/emulator.
A step by step tutorial would help a lot.
Thank you
