+@strong{Mixing terminal commands and @code{-U} memory operations:} the
+example below burns a bootloader, uses a terminal line to write
+application data to flash, loads the application, configures the brownout
+detection level to 2.7 V and, finally, stores the full flash as new hex
+file. Note the use of different quotation marks in @code{bash} to pass the
+terminal command lines as single entity to AVRDUDE. Also note the extra
+@code{flush} terminal command that AVRDUDE inserted to ensure the terminal
+cache and @code{-U} update operations work seamlessly.
