• Steward: -

• Documentation: https://avrdudes.github.io/avrdude/

• Depends on: libelf, libusb, libusb1, libftdi, readline, ncurses

• Provides: /usr/bin/avrdude, /usr/bin/elf2tag, /etc/avrdude.conf

avrdude is the reference CLI uploader/programmer for AVR devices, including the standard configuration database and the helper utility elf2tag.

Typical workflow⚓︎

1. Identify available programmers and parts.
2. Read device signature.
3. Program firmware.
4. Verify flash contents.

Complete usage examples⚓︎

List programmers:

avrdude -c ?

List MCU parts:

avrdude -p ?

Read target signature from an Arduino-style serial bootloader:

avrdude -c arduino -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200 -p atmega328p -v

Flash firmware to ATmega328P:

avrdude -c arduino -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200 -p atmega328p -D -U flash:w:firmware.hex:i

Read flash back to file:

avrdude -c arduino -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200 -p atmega328p -U flash:r:backup.hex:i

Set fuses (example values, verify before use):

avrdude -c usbasp -P usb -p atmega328p -U lfuse:w:0xFF:m -U hfuse:w:0xDE:m -U efuse:w:0xFD:m

Use custom config file path:

avrdude -C /etc/avrdude.conf -c usbasp -P usb -p atmega32u4 -U flash:w:firmware.hex:i
