SYNOPSIS
avrp [-s <serial port>] [-a <chip type>] [-prv] [-f <filename>] [-e <filename>] [-d <deffile>] [-l <lockmode>] [--enable <fuse>] [--disable <fuse>] [--version] [--help] [-qIh]DESCRIPTION
avrp works on serial-port programmers which use Atmel's communication protocol for serial-port programmers. These programmers can program AVR (and other) chips both in serial and parallel mode.
These programmers are known:
AVR ICP - Atmel In-circuit programmer
AVR PPR - Atmel parallel programmer
AVR DEV - Atmel development board
AVR A.G - Parallel mode programmer by Adrian Godwin
Adrian Godwin's programmer can be found on http://www.fangorn.demon.co.uk
Instruction on how to build Atmel's in-circuit programmer can be found on Atmel's homepage (http://www.atmel.com). Look for application note avr910
avrp is currently supporting these systems:
Linux
FreeBSD
AmigaOS
win32 (windows 95++ and NT)
The source-code part of Atmel's application note AVR910 was used to determine how to communicate with these programmers.
OPTIONS
Several option can be given after one '-', but if an option requires an argument; the argument must be given after that option.- -s <serial port>
- Specifies which serial port to talk through. This option can be avoided if you set the environment variable AVRP_SERIALPORT
- -a <chip type>
- Specifies what kind of chip to talk to. Use '-a list' for chip type to get a list of supported devices. You can use the shortest possible abbreviation to identify a chip. This option can be avoided if you set the environment variable AVRP_AVRTYPE
- -p
- Program a chip -f <filename> and/or -e <filename> must be specified to determine which files to read from. (-f specifes flash, and -e eeprom)
- -r
- Read a chip -f <filename> and/or -e <filename> must be specified to determine which files to write to. (-f specifes flash, and -e eeprom)
- -v
- Verify. Performs a standalone verify. (The program function will always do a inline verify) -f <filename> and/or -e <filename> must be specified to determine which files to read from. (-f specifes flash, and -e eeprom)
- -f <filename>
- Specifies which flash-file to read/write. Supportet formats are Intel HEX and Atmel's generic fileformat.
- -e <filename>
- Specifies which eeprom-file to read/write. Supportet formats are Intel HEX and Atmel's generic fileformat.
- -l <lockmode>
- Specifies lockmode to progam into the chip. Use '-l list' to get a list of possible lockmodes.
- -q
- Quiet. Don't write any progress information. Will speed up programming.
- -d <deffile>
- Specifies the path and filename of avrp.def if default location is not possible. Can also be set with the environment variable AVRP_DEFFILE
- -I
- Ignores the signature in the chip. This is very useful if the signature in the chip have been destroyed in some way.
- --enable <fuses>
- Enables specified fuses.
- --disable <fuses>
- Disables specified fuses.
- --autoinc
- You can use this to speed up programming on newer programmer firmware.
- --version
- Print out version information.
- --help -h
- Print out a short help text.
FILES
/etc/avrp.def- Definition file
ENVIRONMENT
- AVRP_SERIALPORT
- Specifies which serial port to use.
- AVRP_AVRTYPE
- Specifies chip to talk to.
- AVRP_DEFFILE
- Specifies the location of avrp.def
EXAMPLES
Print out information on the programmer:avrp -s /dev/ttyS1
Same as above, but also give information on the inserted chip:
avrp -s /dev/ttyS1 -a AT90S1200-D/E/F
Program a chip (flash only, and using a short chip-descriptor):
avrp -s /dev/ttyS1 -a 1200-d -p -f avr910.rom
Read a chip (flash and eeprom, AVRP_SERIALPORT is set):
avrp -a 8515 -rf test.hex -e test.eep.hex
