Arduino and AVR studio

Hi,

Could someone please provide some clarification to the following. Can an arduino Mega be programmed using AVR GCC compiler and AVR studio? I don;t want to using the Arduino IDE or language I just want to use the arduino hardware for my application.

Would I have to remove/replace an arduino bootloader that is shipped with the arduino board.

cheers,

tim

Of course you can.

By uploading your program (using an ISP programmer seeing as how you don’t want to use the bootloader) it will over-write the bootloader without you have to actively do anything to remove it
