I am new to Arduino and I purchased several ATMEGA328-PUs to experiment with and, of course they do not have a bootloader. The programmer I have built is PPPD from this web site, http://www.aplomb.nl/TechStuff/PPPD/PPPD English.html which emulates a ponyprog or STK200. I have verified it works using
avdude -p m328p -c pony-stk200 -t
Now, how do I specify this programming hardware in Ardunio 1.0 so I can burn the bootloader? The only option I find is
Tools->Programmer->Parallel Programmer
Is the bootloader that comes in 1.0 the most up to date? I specify the board as Duemilanove w/ ATmega328.
