Now I will describe the bootloader software part.
I have faced and i know that almost everyone faces problem with the boot-loader. The boot-loader/hardware miss-configuration makes it impossible to work and falls us into frustration. It takes 3 months for me to have a success.
I have compiled these with WINAVR in windows xp/7 successfully.
Download the Winavr from sourceforge, install it. Download the usbasp package, unzip it.
Then you only need to make the following files. The files will be exactly look like-
1. bootloaderconfig.h

/*
General Description:
This file (together with some settings in Makefile) configures the boot loader
according to the hardware.
This file contains (besides the hardware configuration normally found in
usbconfig.h) two functions or macros: bootLoaderInit() and
bootLoaderCondition(). Whether you implement them as macros or as static
inline functions is up to you, decide based on code size and convenience.
bootLoaderInit() is called as one of the first actions after reset. It should
be a minimum initialization of the hardware so that the boot loader condition
can be read. This will usually consist of activating a pull-up resistor for an
external jumper which selects boot loader mode.
bootLoaderCondition() is called immediately after initialization and in each
main loop iteration. If it returns TRUE, the boot loader will be active. If it
returns FALSE, the boot loader jumps to address 0 (the loaded application)
immediately.
For compatibility with Thomas Fischl’s avrusbboot, we also support the macro
names BOOTLOADER_INIT and BOOTLOADER_CONDITION for this functionality. If
these macros are defined, the boot loader usees them.

Then run command prompt, cd to the folder where you unzipped, then type the commands and press enter.
1. To Compile And Upload To Microcontroller-
make flash
2. To Set Fusebits
make fuse
3. To Set Lockbits.
make lock
Issue these commands and enjoy. I will come later with the circuit diagram. But it’s already written in the codes. 😀
Ok, And for better help(also less explaining for me :p ) I uploaded complete package zipped, Click here to download it. The .bat scripts helps to avoid the damn command prompt. Â You can play with them but be careful(they can blow your PC off :p ).
