Upload process:

Sketches are uploaded by avrdude.

The upload process is also controlled by variables in the boards and main preferences files. Those in the boards file include:

<BOARD>.upload.protocol: the protocol that avrdude should use to talk to the board (typically "stk500").

<BOARD>.upload.speed: the speed (baud rate) avrdude should use when uploading sketches (typically "19200").

<BOARD>.upload.maximum_size: the maximum size for a sketch on the board (dependent on the chip and the size of the bootloader).

And in the main preferences file:

upload.verbose: whether or not to dump debugging messages while upload a sketch to a board (defaults to "false").

http://arduino.cc/en/Hacking/BuildProcess

Once the code is transferred to the board, then [if the board has auto-reset], the board will reset and the sketch will be run.

Have I bricked my Arduino Uno? Problems with uploading to board

I can't upload sketches to my Arduino Uno. Have I "bricked" it? What steps can I take to work out what is wrong? What can I do to fix it?

Why can't I upload a sketch while other components/devices are connected to my Uno?

I wanted to make a fairly simple circuit which would flash a series of LEDs in sequence, using my Arduino Uno (more specifically, a SainSmart clone). I wrote my sketch and it compiled fine. After that, I connected 8 LEDS+resistors to pins 0 through…

Is my Arduino dead or is it just its processor?

I have a problem with my Arduino. I can't upload any sketches to it (it gives me the error avrdude: verification error; content mismatch), but the LEDs are still blinking. Do you think that the whole Arduino is dead or is it just the chip ? EDIT : I…

Is it possible to upload previously compiled binary?

I have a number of sketches that I keep wanting to load into the Arduino but I don't necessarily need to recompile them because I haven't changed anything since the last compile. Since the compile takes a minute or 2 each time, this would save me…

Is it possible to program an Arduino Pro Mini using an Arduino Uno R3?

I've recently received an Arduino Pro Mini as a gift, and I don't have an external USB programmer to program the Pro Mini. However, I do own an Arduino Uno R3, and I think it would be possible because they both have the same clock speed and…

Can I program a 3.3v chip on a 5v board?

I bought a Gertboard a while ago, and one of the features it has on-board is an ATMega328 (DIP). However, since the Gertboard is designed for use with the Raspberry Pi, it only operates at 3.3v, so the clock speed is limited to ~12MHz. Programming…
