5. Autogenerated files

Autogenerated files are virtual read-only files that do not exist externally but that are provided by AVRDUDE instead. They have the form prefix:parameters and can be used to write the contents of memory. The prefix tells AVRDUDE which sort of file to generate while the part after the colon is usually an underscore-separated list of parameters that determines the contents of the autogenerated file.

Currently, there are two types of autogenerated files. The first are non-trivial, realistic, random test files used for testing AVRDUDE and ‘-c’ programmers. These files have names of the form dry:features. The other ones are urboot bootloaders from the https://github.com/stefanrueger/urboot project. They take the form urboot:features.
