AVRDUDE: 2.3 Example Command Line Invocations

Download the file diag.hex to the ATmega128 chip using the STK500 programmer connected to the default serial port:

% avrdude -p m128 -c stk500 -e -U flash:w:diag.hex

Upload the flash memory from the ATmega128 connected to the STK500 programmer and save it in raw binary format in the file named c:/diag flash.bin:

% avrdude -p m128 -c stk500 -U flash:r:"c:/diag flash.bin":r

Using the default programmer, download the file diag.hex to flash, eeprom.hex to EEPROM, and set the Extended, High, and Low fuse bytes to 0xff, 0x89, and 0x2e respectively:

% avrdude -p m128 -u -U flash:w:diag.hex \
>                 -U eeprom:w:eeprom.hex \
>                 -U efuse:w:0xff:m      \
>                 -U hfuse:w:0x89:m      \
>                 -U lfuse:w:0x2e:m

Connect to the JTAG ICE mkII which serial number ends up in 1C37 via USB, and enter terminal mode:

% avrdude -c jtag2 -p m649 -P usb:1c:37 -t

List the serial numbers of all JTAG ICEs attached to USB. This is done by specifying an invalid serial number, and increasing the verbosity level.

% avrdude -c jtag2 -p m128 -P usb:xx -v
