man avrp (1): Atmel AVR programming software to use with Atmel's serial-port programmers

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
