Avrdude is an in-system programmer tool for AVR devices. It is an alternative for uisp, the programmer TinyOS had been using to program the mica* motes. Development of uisp stopped in 2005, so it does not support newer hardware, e.g. the ATMega1281 MCU which the iris mote has.
You must install avrdude if you have iris motes. Otherwise you can use either one. The TinyOS 2.1 makefiles are set up such that uisp is the default for all mica* platforms, and avrdude is the default for the iris mote. If you want to use avrdude exclusively, add export PROGRAMMER=avrdude to your ~/.bashrc or /etc/profile.d/tinyos.sh Alternatively, you can add PROGRAMMER=avrdude to your makefile on a per application basis.
