This commit changes the philosophy whenever avrdude.conf encounters the same memory of a part for the second time or whenever a memory is described that, through inheritance, already existed: AVRDUDE no longer zaps the memory, it rather extends it. Therefore, avrdude.conf.in's entry for ATmega128RFA1, which inherits from the ATmega2561, needs a line `load_ext_addr = NULL;` in its flash memory description to zap the inherited load_ext_addr SPI command. Other than this, avrdude.conf.in needs no other change in order to effect the same internal representation proving earlier updates to the .conf.in file correct that manually ensured inheritance of memory contents. |

AVRDUDE
AVRDUDE - AVR Downloader Uploader - is a program for downloading and uploading the on-chip memories of Microchip’s 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.
The latest version of AVRDUDE is always available here:
https://github.com/avrdudes/avrdude
Documentation
Documentation for current and previous releases is on Github Pages.
Getting AVRDUDE for Windows
To get AVRDUDE for Windows, install the latest version from the Releases page.
Alternatively, you may build AVRDUDE yourself from source.
Getting AVRDUDE for Linux
To install AVRDUDE for Linux, install the package avrdude by running the following commands:
sudo apt-get install avrdude
Alternatively, you may build AVRDUDE yourself from source.
Getting AVRDUDE for MacOS
On MacOS, AVRDUDE can be installed through Mac Ports.
Alternatively, you may build AVRDUDE 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:
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:
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.
For more information, refer to the AVRDUDE documentation.
