The Arduino can be programmed using SPI without a boot loader. Without a boot loader, the Arduino starts running its sketch right away. So, how does the Arduino know that it is being programmed via SPI vs regular SPI traffic already present on the SPI bus? Was is the pin-level, electrical signal that let's the Arduino know the difference?
