====== AtMega168 + internal RC oscillator + Arduino bootloader ======

It took me a while to configure this MCU.

Set the fuses. The biggest problem was to figure out correct BOOTSZ. [[http://www.engbedded.com/fusecalc/|Here is a convenient tool for that.]]
<code>/usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude -C/usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude.conf -patmega168 -cstk500v1 -P/dev/ttyUSB0 -b19200 -e -Ulock:w:0x3F:m -Uefuse:w:0xF8:m -Uhfuse:w:0xDA:m -Ulfuse:w:0xE2:m</code>

Burn bootloader.
<code>/usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude -C/usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude.conf -patmega168 -cstk500v1 -P/dev/ttyUSB0 -b19200 -Uflash:w:/tmp/arduino-1.6.8-linux64/arduino-1.6.8/hardware/arduino/avr/bootloaders/atmega/ATmegaBOOT_168_pro_8MHz.hex:i</code>

Confiugure IDE.
<code>

</code>

==== Update 2021: timing problems ====

I started having weird timing problems when programming the chip, I had to make the following change to Makefile:
<code>
-pro8: CFLAGS += '-DMAX_TIME_COUNT=F_CPU>>2' '-DNUM_LED_FLASHES=4' '-DWATCHDOG_MODS'
+pro8: CFLAGS += '-DMAX_TIME_COUNT=F_CPU>>4' '-DNUM_LED_FLASHES=1' '-DWATCHDOG_MODS'
</code>
Then compile with <code>make clean; make pro8</code>
