Pardon my ignorance on this matter, but I'm having a difficult time locating information about this.
What I would like to do is perform my development using the Arduino environment, but once finished I would like to compile the source and load the hex file directly to an ATMega without the bootloader.
Provided that I use a USBtinyISP AVR Programmer to write directly to the ATMega with the hex file compiled by Arduino, is it not possible to burn chips with this code, wire it up directly, and go?
It sounds as if I would only need a power source, crystal (not mandatory for non-critical timing), the components of my project, and a properly wired ATMega chip.
Am I missing something here? What are the disadvantages or problems with this thought pattern?
Arduino is great for development, but expensive for creating many of the same projects. It would be nice just to have the chip itself in a pcb board without the bootloader, etc.

Any tips on how?
I found some information on the arduino site about it, but it says the capability
is not in arduino version 10, but will return in version 11
http://www.arduino.cc/en/Hacking/Programmer
I assume it could be done by working outside the Arduino programming
environment, starting with this: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Hacking/CommandLine
but I don't think that is the whole picture

At mega 128
Hi
Is it possible to use it with at mega 128, At the moment I am using 168, but I am starting to run out of pins....

Re: At mega 128
now you want wiring, the project from which the arduino is adapted. arduino will only build, as far as i know, for the atmega8/168. wiring uses a mega128 on a substantially larger board and the chip is only available in surface mount packages.skatun wrote:Hi
