Reset fuses on atmega328p using Arduino

Question

I bought a few atmega328p chips but unfortunately they came with the Arduino bootloader and they are set to use the external clock. I want to reset their fuses using avrdude so I can use the internal 8mhz clock but it's not working. How can I (if even possible) reset their fuses using the Arduino? I have no other programmer and here are the arguments I use for avrdude as well as the response:

avrdude -C .\avrdude.conf -p m328p -c arduino -P \\.\COM12 -b 115200 -U lfuse:w:0x62:m -U hfuse:w:0xd9:m -U efuse:w:0xff:m

Response:

avrdude.exe: Device signature = 0x1e950f
avrdude.exe: reading input file "0x62"

Would you like this fuse to be changed back? [y/n] 

Answer 1

You cannot set the fuses using the Arduino bootloader, since they cannot be self-programmed. You must use either serial or parallel programming via ArduinoISP or an external programmer to set them. Since the chip is configured to use an external crystal you must either connect a crystal up to the chip appropriately (see sections 9.3 or 9.4 of the datasheet) or use parallel programming. You will then be able to use the lfuse, hfuse, and efuse memory types to read and write the fuse bytes.

• Stuyvenstein: It's pretty much the same answer haha
