    * for some reason the chip ran at 1/2 speed when doing this but the same chip ran at normal (32MHz) speed when using the bootloader. No fuses (that I know of) were changed. (???)

==== In Circuit Programming with CLion and PlatformIO ====
  * add this to .platformio.ini:
<code>
[env:program_via_ArduinoISP]
platform = lgt8f
framework = arduino
board = lgt8f328p-LQFP48
upload_protocol = custom
upload_port = /dev/ttyACM*
upload_speed = 19200
upload_flags =
    -v
    -V
    -C
    $PROJECT_PACKAGES_DIR/tool-avrdude/avrdude.conf
    -p
    $BOARD_MCU
    -P
    $UPLOAD_PORT
    -c
    stk500v1
upload_command = avrdude $UPLOAD_FLAGS -U flash:w:$SOURCE:i
</code>
  * then choose ''update platforms, toolchains, etc.'' for the new environment to be recognized/loaded by CLion

==== Memory ====
If using ISP and you run out of memory you can overwrite the bootloader if you wish (and I wish because I did). In ''boards.txt'' change ''328.upload.maximum_size=29696'' to ''328.upload.maximum_size=30720''

==== Random ====
  * software reset:
<code>
    VDTCR = 0x80; // make register writeable for a short time
    VDTCR = 0x00; // clear bit 6
</code>
