Burn FLASH and EEPROM:We use an Arduino UNO to program our micorcontroller.

Connect the USBasp to PC.
Connect SPI programming pins of USBasp to the Arduino UNO.
MOSI, MISO, SCK, RESET and GND pins.Now put the atmega328 controller for programming into UNO board.

        read the specified device memory and write to the specified file
w       read the specified file and write it to the specified device memory

Die oberen Bits der Efuse werden im ATmega328 nicht benutzt.
Zurückgelesen werden ‘1’ Werte für die unbenutzten Bits.
Manche Programmiersoftware maskiert die unbenutzten Bits aber aus. So wird mit der Maske 0x07 aus dem 0xfc eine 0xf04.

For writing only Flash and eeprom:

avrdude –c usbasp –p m328p –u -U flash:w:"TransistorTester.hex":a -U eeprom:w:"TransistorTester.eep":a

For writing only Fuses (L=F7, H=D9, E=04):
avrdude -c usbasp -p m328p -U lfuse:w:0xF7:m -U hfuse:w:0xD9:m -U efuse:w:0x04:m

Erase chip:
avrdude -p m328p -c usbasp -e -u

Backup Flash:

Read flash memory to a file “flash_read.hex”:
avrdude -c usbasp -p m328p -U flash:r:flash_read.hex:i
Read eeprom memory to a file “eeprom_read.hex”:
avrdude -c usbasp -p m328p -U eeprom:r:flash_read.hex:i
Test purpose:
avrdude -p m328p -P usb -c usbasp -U flash:w:Blink.hex
