AVRDUDE

AVRDUDE is a handy tool that lets you send programming commands directly to your AVR chip. It’s pretty straightforward and works great!

Easy Chip Memory Access

You can use AVRDUDE right from the Terminal, which makes it super simple to read or write all types of chip memory. That means you can write to the entire memory of the chip without any hassle.

Supported Programmers

This software supports various basic programmer types too! You’ll find it works well with ATMEL AVRISP and STK500 devices, which are quite popular.

Multiple Connection Options

AVRDUDE also has support for different bit-bang programming adapters. These adapters help connect to a serial port easily. Some examples include the Ponyprog serial adapter and DASA adapters. Pretty neat, right?

Simplicity at Its Best

If you’re wondering how hard it is to use AVRDUDE, let me tell you, it's a breeze! Just type in your command and wait for the magic to happen. The only must-have option is “-p partno.” This tells AVRDUDE what type of MCU is hooked up to the programmer.

Add More Commands Easily

You can stack multiple commands as long as you have the Atmel datasheet on hand. It makes entering specifications super quick and secure.

Select Your Programmer Type

A cool feature is using the command “-c programmer-id.” This lets you pick which programmer you'd like to use. Plus, you can even set the ISP clock or JTAG interface bit clock by using “-b bitclock” command.

Edit Configuration Files

You can work with multiple configuration files too! Just select your desired one with “-c config-file.” These files hold definitions for parts and programmers, and guess what? You can modify them if needed!
