Yes. You can program a virgin AVR by connecting it up to some GPIOs and reflashing it. If you had a second Arduino, the chip being programmed would sit in the socket. http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ArduinoISP (With the Arduino Uno, it's more complex it seems) |

If you have an Arduino with a FT232RL chip onbaord (Arduino Duemilanove or earlier models or their clones) then you can bitbang the FT232RL to program the bootloader or any other code into the AVR. http://www.geocities.jp/arduino_diecimila/bootloader/index_en.html |
