Not shown in the schematic is a 1K pull up resistor on the reset pin near the ATmegap. To reset the microcontroller you pull the reset pin to ground.
The uploader program pulls the DTR signal low. The cap passes this change through, causing a reset, but the 1k pull up returns the reset back to the high run state.

The only difference with memory cards is the lack of a CS Chip select pin. On our AVR microcontrollers we use the RESET pin that halts the execution of any sketch or bootloader and puts the microcontroller in a specific state where it listens to the commands arriving from the SPI interface. The very first command that the protocol requires is the one that enters the microcontroller in the Serial Programming Mode.
At the end of the Flash memory, we have the bootloader code area, as highlighted in the image at the beginning of this article. The "Burn Bootloader" procedure also sets properly the fuses of the microcontroller according to the design of the board. This is one of the reasons why you have to burn the bootloader selecting your exact board model in the list. The open source software tool used to program the microcontroller is avrdude. The process goes through four steps: unlocking the bootloader section of the chip, setting the fuses on the chip, uploading the bootloader code to the chip, locking back the bootloader section of the chip.
The fuses are managed according to the preferences stored into each parameter file associated with the board, avoiding potential mistakes. The management of fuses, usually a set of three bytes - low, high and extended -, is the most delicate aspect of the bootloader programming: a wrong fuse setting could brick the microcontroller and the board.
Fuses define many aspects of the microcontroller's functions like: selecting different clock sources and change how fast the chip runs, setting the minimum voltage required before the chip works brownout , setting whether or not a bootloader is used, setting how much memory is allocated to the boot loader from to words - to bytes , disabling reset or serial programming and stop EEPROM data being erased when uploading a new sketch.
Every setting has its own usage and it is logical to allow the developer to lock the chip and protect it from ISP programming, but it might happen to mistakenly set a fuse in the wrong way, locking you out of the programming process through the ISP interface. To recover the microcontroller, you have to rely on a High Voltage Serial Programmer that uses 12V to reset the fuses.
