+Build the firmware using the following command. Firmware binary is the `./out/firmware.hex` file.

-Firmware is the `./out/firmware.hex` file. To program micro with avrdude, we can do `make program`.
+To program using avrdude we run the following command.

+make program

+
+When programming a new microcontroller, we also need to program the required fuse bits. This can be
+using the following command
+
+```bash
+make program_fuses

 ### Unittests
 
 We can build every unittests and run them using the `run` target.
