Hi...
I have an issue where I have 2 identical boards containing ATMega644 (or ATMega644p) on them. One is working, the other have an issue with the ATMega644 software... Hence, the solution was to copy the program from the working and then burning it into the other.
I don't own the boards but the one who does have succeeded in copying the software from the working one and didn't succeed in burning it on the other one for some reason.
I read that Arduino boards can burn the software into other non-arduino chips... I can manage to get an arduino uno or mega from friends... will it do the job?
Notice that most tutorials that i read online is using the arduino sketch as the program... however, this is not what I want. I want to burn a .hex file to ATMega644 using an Arduino board.
I will gladly take your help xD

To solve this issue further on... I looked into using JTAG programmers to program any AVR chip. However, I have never used one before and not quite sure it will work or not. So, do you know a sure JTAG one to work on ATMega644? the price and shipping?
well looks like avr dragon is the best right? who can ship it to me within a week or so?

Please give me a solution to this problem. I have never used an AVR or Arduino before (ehem... only PIC).
Thanks for your awesome help!!
