Sounds like you are looking for avarice?

Note you will need a AVR-JTAG device to access the target, which also has to
provide a JTAG port. That is different from what you are most likely using now.
SPI only allows to read/write flash memory (and a few other operations), but for
in-circuit debugging you will need JTAG.
