Im dabbling (dangerous). As i understand it the output of the compile process is a hex file, which will reside somewhere in the /tmp directory. In theory I guess i should be able to invoke avrdude from the command line to send this hex file to a board without having the full ide.
If thats the case, does anyone have any pointers for further reading (my goal of course is to find the locations of the subsidiary software and the command line syntax for sending the hex file).
