Yes, Avrdude is a great program (faster than
anything else I've used) but you do need to tell it which partcular board
or programmer you are using.
You also need to tell it which AVR you are using,
which port on your PC etc.
As it is a command line app I suggest you use a
makefile to set all the options. I do this and to program my AVRs I just type
(or click a macro) "make program" and Avrdude knows what to do and does
it.

Does anybody use AVRdude software? I installed it and tried to
program an ATmega16 using a PPI programmer. But AVRdude shows the
following error message:
avrdude: AVR device not responding
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to
override
this check.
I checked all the connections and they seems ok. Since this is my
first AVR board I have no clue about the cause of this failure.
