+Standard setup. How Arduino Uno boards are wired:
 
-Connections: Pin 1 → 5 V via 10 kΩ resistor. Pins 9/10 → 16 MHz crystal via 22
-pF capacitors to ground. Pins 7/20/21 → 5 V supply. Pins 8/22 → ground. Add 0.1

+ATmega328P ships with its fuses(BOD level, etc.) configured for 5 V. Need to
+modify them. The standard Arduino bootloader requires a 16 MHz clock.  Replace
+the default bootloader with one that works witha 8 MHz clock.
 
-Solution: Use Arduino Uno as ISP. Upload 'ArduinoISP' sketch from Arduino IDE.
-Connect SPI pins (ATmega328P ↔ Uno), Uno's SS pin → ATmega328P RESET pin. Power
