	Hi all, I'm new to this board. using blank atmega, and icsp programmer. Now I must burn bootloader - which sets fuses (as per boards.txt) I don't want to use bootloader, just set the fuses when uploading my sketch. Thanks for help

	If you are asking how you upload a sketch using a programmer and without a bootloader then click vMicro>uploader and set both a programmer in addition to enabling "always use programmer for upload". Then all of the upload commands will use the programmer instead of the serial/usb bootloader If you want to make custom arduino events that run before an upload you can use an arduino build hook called hooks.deploy.preupload If using the vmicro menu is cumbersome there is a "Micro Programmers" tool bar that can be displayed by right clicking the blank area of any tool strip in the IDE Does this answer the question?

	Hello Tim, thanks for reply. I'm not sure that i've explained my problem clearly. I want to set fuses in a single step together with uploading my sketch. With a programmer to a blank mcu. Now the only way to do so is burning bootloader, (which i dont need) and then overwrite the memory with my sketch.

	The programmer allows you to upload a sketch to a blank mcu without need for bootloader. Can you explain why you also need to burn fuses? Sorry for my lack of understanding. If you really do need this then the hooks are the only way because they require a separate operation(s) to the upload.

	Agree, I do burn sketch to a controller with a programmer. Bootloader not needed. But I need to set fuses as well. I can do so by burning bootloader, but this is one step more, which i wanted to avoid. As I understood the only way is hooks.

	Yes but shouldn't be too difficult. Another alternative might be to use atmel studio with visual micro. There is a programmer in the list in atmel studio called "Atmel Device Programming". This causes visual micro to hand over to the atmel tools for upload. I don't know if that will help you, the hooks might be a more seamless solution, however it was worth a mention.
