Because FTDI history: Why is the atmega chip reset three times during programming? – Arduino Stack Exchange

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/06/18

For historic reference: [WayBack] Why is the atmega chip reset three times during programming? – Arduino Stack Exchange.

TL;DR:

It is to ensure the device is being reset, no matter which driver you use and how odd that driver behaves.

So what you are seeing there is

  1. first a brief toggle of DTR by the IDE to force a reset,
  2. then avrdudeopening the port and DTR going low,
  3. then finally the IDE toggling DTR again one last time to force a final reset.
