@item -u
Disables the default behaviour of reading out the fuses three times before
programming, then verifying at the end of programming that the fuses have not
changed. If you want to change fuses you will need to specify this option,
as avrdude will see the fuses have changed (even though you wanted to) and
will change them back for your "saftey". This option was designed to
prevent cases of fuse bits magically changing.

Tells AVRDUDE to enter the interactive ``terminal'' mode instead of up-
or downloading files. See below for a detailed description of the

Solutions: The reasons for this are the same as above.
If you know how to work around this on your OS, please let us know.

Problem: I cannot modify the fuse bits on my AVR!
Solution: You probably forgot to specify the -u option, which allows you to modify fuse bits.
This is done to prevent corrupt data from changing the fuse bits without you knowing about it, and
currently also prevents the user from changing the fuse bits by accident. This patch was added in
response to a number of occasions when an AVR had stopped responding because the fuse bits got changed
by an error caused by the programmer. Programmer of course meaning both the physical device, and the
person sitting at the keyboard.
