Additional context

I suppose thet the container does not have access to the USB devices because sudo within the container isn't the same as outside?

You could try to run toolbox(1) as root:

# toolbox create
...
# toolbox enter
⬢# avrdude -p m1284p -c atmelice -e -U build/control.elf
...

I suppose thet the container does not have access to the USB devices because sudo within the container isn't the same as outside?

Yes. When toolbox(1) is run rootless, the root inside the container isn't the same as root on the host, because there's a user namespace at play.

That seems to fix things. Thanks.
