# AVRDUDE
|
||
|
||
[](https://github.com/avrdudes/avrdude/actions/workflows/build.yml)
|
||
|
||
AVRDUDE - AVR Downloader Uploader - is a program for downloading and uploading
|
||
the on-chip memories of Microchip’s [AVR microcontrollers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVR_microcontrollers).
|
||
It can program the Flash and EEPROM, and where supported by the programming
|
||
protocol, it can program fuse and lock bits.
|
||
AVRDUDE also supplies a direct instruction mode allowing one to issue any
|
||
programming instruction to the AVR chip regardless of whether AVRDUDE
|
||
implements that specific feature of a particular chip.
|
||
|
||
AVRDUDE was originally written in 2003 by Brian S. Dean. Since 2006, AVRDUDE has been maintained by Jörg Wunsch,
|
||
with the help of [various contributors](./AUTHORS).
|
||
|
||
The latest version of AVRDUDE is always available here:\
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Documentation
|
||
|
||
Documentation for current and previous releases is [on Github Pages](https://avrdudes.github.io/avrdude/).
|
||
|
||
## Getting AVRDUDE for Windows
|
||
|
||
To get AVRDUDE for Windows, install the latest version from the [Releases](http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/avrdude/) page.
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, you may [build AVRDUDE](https://github.com/avrdudes/avrdude/wiki) yourself from source.
|
||
|
||
## Getting AVRDUDE for Linux
|
||
|
||
To install AVRDUDE for Linux, install the package `avrdude` by running the following commands:
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
sudo apt-get install avrdude
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, you may [build AVRDUDE](https://github.com/avrdudes/avrdude/wiki) yourself from source.
|
||
|
||
## Getting AVRDUDE for MacOS
|
||
|
||
On MacOS, AVRDUDE can be installed through Mac Ports.
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, you may [build AVRDUDE](https://github.com/avrdudes/avrdude/wiki) yourself from source.
|
||
|
||
## Using AVRDUDE
|
||
|
||
AVRDUDE is a command-line application. Run the command `avrdude` without any arguments for a list of options.
|
||
|
||
A typical command to program your HEX file into your AVR microcontroller looks like this:
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
avrdude -c <programmer> -p <part> -U flash:w:<file>:i
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
For instance, to program an **Arduino Uno** connected to the serial port **COM1** with a HEX file called `blink.hex`,
|
||
you would run the following command:
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
avrdude -c arduino -P COM1 -b 115200 -p atmega328p -D -U flash:w:objs/blink.hex:i
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
There are many different programmers and options that may be required for the programming to succeed.
|
||
