Adding ATMEGA328 support to AVRDUDE

[G. Andrew Stone]

In the Beyond Arduino meetup last night we discovered that I had purchased the wrong chip; I bought the 328, not the 328p.  These chips are for all intents and purposes exactly the same (well, ok I can't be sure because I can't yet figure out the difference!) but they have different chip IDs so avrdude complains.

If you use avrdude directly, you can use the m328p chip option with the -F (force) parameter.  But if you use the Arduino IDE (or just want it to all work flawlessly) you'll need to change the avrdude.conf file to "teach" avrdude about this chip.  Please add the section included below to your avrdude.conf file, near the ATmega328p section.  NOTE: On Linux, the avrdude.conf file is located BOTH in /etc/avrdude.conf (this one is really used) and in your arduino IDE tree arduino-1.0/hardware/tools/avrdude.conf.  So if you make this change and it doesn't work, please look around for another file.

If you run something like "avrdude -c stk500v1", it should print out a list of supported chips.  With this change you should see a line that looks something like this:
m328 = ATMEGA328       [/etc/avrdude.conf:8546]

Cheers!
