## 3.2 Terminal Mode Examples

Display part parameters, modify eeprom cells, perform a chip erase:

    % avrdude -p m128 -c stk500 -t

    avrdude: AVR device initialized and ready to accept instructions
    avrdude: Device signature = 0x1e9702
    avrdude: current erase-rewrite cycle count is 52 (if being tracked)

Program the fuse bits of an ATmega128 (disable M103 compatibility, enable high speed external crystal, enable brown-out detection, slowly rising power). Note since we are working with fuse bits the -u (unsafe) option is specified, which allows you to modify the fuse bits. First display the factory defaults, then reprogram:

    % avrdude -p m128 -u -c stk500 -t
