.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.Nm Avrprog
|
||||
is a driver program for a simple programming hardware that allows to
|
||||
program Atmel AVR microcontrollers, where the programmer is connected
|
||||
directly to a
|
||||
.Xr ppi 4
|
||||
parallel port. In the simplest case, the hardware consists just of a
|
||||
cable, connecting the respective AVR signal lines to the parallel port.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The MCU is programmed in
|
||||
.Em serial programming mode ,
|
||||
so the MCU signals
|
||||
.Ql /RESET ,
|
||||
.Ql SCK ,
|
||||
.Ql MISO
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Ql MOSI
|
||||
need to be connected to the parallel port. Optionally, some otherwise
|
||||
unused output pins of the parallel port can be used to supply power for
|
||||
the MCU part, so it is also possible to construct a passive standalone
|
||||
programming device.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Input files can be provided, and output files can be written in
|
||||
different file formats, such as raw binary files containing the data
|
||||
to download to the chip, Intel hex format, or Motorola S-record
|
||||
format. There are a number of tools available to produce those files,
|
||||
like
|
||||
.Xr asl 1
|
||||
as a standalone assembler, or
|
||||
.Xr avr-objcopy 1
|
||||
for the final stage of the GNU toolchain for the AVR microcontroller.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Both, EEPROM cells and the flash ROM can be programmed (separately).
|
||||
It is also possible to read the chip (provided it has not been
|
||||
code-protected previously, of course) and store the data in a file.
|
||||
Finally, a ``terminal'' mode is available that allows to interactively
|
||||
communicate with the MCU, and to display or program individual various
|
||||
memory cells even one at a time if desired.
|
||||
.Ss Options
|
||||
In order to control all the different operation modi, a number of options
|
||||
need to be specified to
|
||||
.Nm .
|
||||
.Bl -tag -offset indent -width indent
|
||||
.It Fl p Ar partno
|
||||
This is the only option that is mandatory for every invocation of
|
||||
.Nm .
|
||||
It specifies the type of the MCU connected to the programmer. Currently,
|
||||
the following MCU types are understood:
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.TS
|
||||
ll.
|
||||
\fBOption tag\fP \fBOfficial part name\fP
|
||||
1200 AT90S1200
|
||||
2313 AT90S2313
|
||||
2333 AT90S2333
|
||||
4433 AT90S4433
|
||||
4434 AT90S4434
|
||||
8515 AT90S8515
|
||||
8535 AT90S8535
|
||||
.TE
|
||||
.It Fl e
|
||||
Causes a chip erase to be executed. This will reset the contents of the
|
||||
flash ROM and EEPROM to the value
|
||||
.Ql 0xff ,
|
||||
and is basically a prerequisite command before the flash ROM can be
|
||||
reprogrammed again. The only exception would be if the new
|
||||
contents would exclusively cause bits to be programmed from the value
|
||||
.Ql 1
|
||||
to
|
||||
.Ql 0 .
|
||||
Note that in order to reprogram EERPOM cells, no explicit prior chip
|
||||
erase is required since the MCU provides an auto-erase cycle in that
|
||||
case before programming the cell.
|
||||
.It Xo Fl E Ar exitspec Ns
|
||||
.Op \&, Ns Ar exitspec
|
||||
.Xc
|
||||
By default,
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
leaves the parallel port in the same state at exit as it has been
|
||||
found at startup. This option modifies the state of the
|
||||
.Ql /RESET
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Ql Vcc
|
||||
lines the parallel port is left at, according to the
|
||||
.Ar exitspec
|
||||
arguments provided, as follows:
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width noreset
|
||||
.It Ar reset
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Ql /RESET
|
||||
signal will be left activated at program exit, that is it will be held
|
||||
.Em low ,
|
||||
in order to keep the MCU in reset state afterwards. Note in particular
|
||||
that the programming algorithm for the AT90S1200 device mandates that
|
||||
the
|
||||
.Ql /RESET
|
||||
signal is active
|
||||
.Em before
|
||||
powering up the MCU, so in case an external power supply is used for this
|
||||
MCU type, a previous invocation of
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
with this option specified is one of the possible ways to guarantee this
|
||||
condition.
|
||||
.It Ar noreset
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Ql /RESET
|
||||
line will be deactivated at program exit, thus allowing the MCU target
|
||||
program to run while the programming hardware remains connected.
|
||||
.It Ar vcc
|
||||
This option will leave those parallel port pins active
|
||||
.Pq \&i. \&e. Em high
|
||||
that can be used to supply
|
||||
.Ql Vcc
|
||||
power to the MCU.
|
||||
.It Ar novcc
|
||||
This option will pull the
|
||||
.Ql Vcc
|
||||
pins of the parallel port down at program exit.
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Multiple
|
||||
.Ar exitspec
|
||||
arguments can be separated with commas.
|
||||
.It Fl f Ar format
|
||||
This option specifies the file format for the input or output files
|
||||
to be processed.
|
||||
.Ar Format
|
||||
can be one of:
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width sss
|
||||
.It Ar i
|
||||
Intel Hex
|
||||
.It Ar s
|
||||
Motorola S-record
|
||||
.It Ar r
|
||||
raw binary; little-endian byte order, in the case of the flash ROM data
|
||||
.It Ar a
|
||||
auto detect; valid for input only, and only if the input is not
|
||||
provided at
|
||||
.Em stdin .
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The default is to use auto detection for input files, and raw binary
|
||||
format for output files.
|
||||
.It Fl F
|
||||
Normally,
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
tries to verify that the device signature read from the part is
|
||||
reasonable before continuing. Since it can happen from time to time
|
||||
that a device has a broken (erased or overwritten) device signature
|
||||
but is otherwise operating normally, this options is provided to
|
||||
override the check.
|
||||
.It Fl i Ar filename
|
||||
Specifies the input file to be programmed into the MCU. Can be specified
|
||||
as
|
||||
.Ql \&-
|
||||
to use
|
||||
.Em stdin
|
||||
as the input.
|
||||
.It Fl m Ar memtype
|
||||
Specifies which program area of the MCU to read or write; allowable
|
||||
values are
|
||||
.Em eeprom
|
||||
for the EEPROM, or
|
||||
.Em flash
|
||||
for the flash ROM, which is also the default.
|
||||
.It Fl o Ar filename
|
||||
Specifies the name of the output file to write, and causes the respective
|
||||
memory area to be read from the MCU. Can be specified as
|
||||
.Ql \&-
|
||||
to write to
|
||||
.Em stdout .
|
||||
.It Fl P Ar parallel
|
||||
Use
|
||||
.Ar parallel
|
||||
as the
|
||||
.Xr ppi 4
|
||||
device to communicate with, instead of the default
|
||||
.Pa /dev/ppi0 .
|
||||
.It Fl t
|
||||
Tells
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
to enter the interactive ``terminal'' mode instead of up- or downloading
|
||||
files. See below for a detailed description of the terminal mode.
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Ss Terminal mode
|
||||
In this mode,
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
only initializes communication with the MCU, and then awaits user
|
||||
commands on standard input. Commands and parameters may be
|
||||
abbreviated to the shortest unambiguous form. Terminal mode provides
|
||||
a command history using
|
||||
.Xr readline 3 ,
|
||||
so previously entered command lines can be recalled and edited. The
|
||||
following commands are currently implemented:
|
||||
.Bl -tag -offset indent -width indent
|
||||
.It Ar dump eeprom\&|flash addr nbytes
|
||||
Read
|
||||
.Ar nbytes
|
||||
bytes from the specified memory area, and display them in the usual
|
||||
hexadecimal and ASCII form.
|
||||
.It Ar dump
|
||||
Continue dumping the memory contents for another
|
||||
.Ar nbytes
|
||||
where the previous
|
||||
.Ar dump
|
||||
command left off.
|
||||
.It Ar write eeprom\&|flash addr byte1 ... byteN
|
||||
Manually program the respective memory cells, starting at address
|
||||
.Ar addr ,
|
||||
using the values
|
||||
.Ar byte1
|
||||
through
|
||||
.Ar byteN .
|
||||
.It Ar erase
|
||||
Perform a chip erase.
|
||||
.It Ar sig
|
||||
Display the device signature bytes.
|
||||
.It Ar part
|
||||
Display the current part settings.
|
||||
.It Ar \&?
|
||||
.It Ar help
|
||||
Give a short on-line summary of the available commands.
