The USBTinyISP programmer attaches to your computer's USB port and uses the 6-pin ICSP port on your Arduino to program it. It can program both bootloaders and sketches. It can be purchased for less than $10 from Amazon or Ebay.
There are 3 main options how to write bootloader or program to AVR over ISP.
- dedicated AVR programmer or Arduino ISP programmer
- other Arduino with Arduino as ISP sketch or similar
- parallel port of a computer
