This morning someone asked me if it was possible to program AVR microcontrollers using their Arduino board as a programmer. I looked, and sure enough, a solution exists! This could be pretty handy, particularly if you have a Mac and/or only USB ports. Someone that is going to make this will probably also want to take a look at Atmel application note 42, which discusses using the ISP (in-system programmable) interface (PDF)…

I can confirm it works.
I was at massimo’s working place last week and we had to program the Arduino BT firmware on the board.
it worked like a charm.
just make sure you replace the Quartz as he states in the tutorial.
without that modification, it’s going to be pain in the aXX.
I’ve tried for days (still can’t explain how massimo did it in the first place).
Other thing that annoys me is I still have to run AvrStudio from inside parallels…
