   - Make sure you're using gcc-avr 1:5.4.0+Atmel3.6.2 or newer.
     3.6.1 will not work.  It gives errors like:
     /usr/lib/gcc/avr/5.4.0/../../../avr/bin/ld: address 0x80381e of anduril.elf section `.data' is not within region `data'
     This requires debian/bullseye or newer; buster has 3.6.1.

 This should at least allow the code to compile.
+
+Some extra steps are also needed to make flashing (avrdude) work:
+
+  - Get an AVR jtag2 device.
+    The one I'm using is: "HWAYEH AVR JTAG ICE Version 2.0"
+    Connect the cables:
+      - GND   = -
+      - Vtref = +
+      - nSRST = R (reset/UPDI)
+
+  - Flash the jtag2 device with the relevant firmware:
+    https://github.com/ElTangas/jtag2updi/tree/master/tools/avrjtagicev2
+
+  - Get an avrdude.conf which supports jtag2updi:
+
+    - Download avrdude.conf from https://github.com/ElTangas/jtag2updi
+      and put it in /etc
+
+    - Or grab the source and set an environment variable:
+
+      cd ~/src/torches/avrdude
+      git clone https://github.com/ElTangas/jtag2updi
+      export AVRDUDE_CONF="-C$HOME/src/torches/avrdude/jtag2updi/avrdude.conf"
+
+  - Maybe configure which USB serial port to use too:
+    export AVRDUDE_TTYUSB="/dev/ttyUSB2"
+
+Afterward, flashing should work.  You may need to unplug and replug the jtag2
+USB device between uses though, since it may stop responding after each use.
