NAME

avr-updi - communicate with an AVR microcontroller over UPDI

SYNOPSIS

   $ avr-updi [--port PORT] [--part PART] COMMAND ARGS... [COMMAND ARGS ...]

DESCRIPTION

This program contains a number of sub-commands for interacting with an AVR microcontroller using a UPDI interface.

COMMON OPTIONS

--port, -P DEVICE

Optional. Provides the USB device where the UPDI adapter is connected. If absent a default of /dev/ttyUSB0 will apply.

--part, -p PART

Required. Gives the name of the ATmega or ATtiny chip that is expected. Parts may be specified in the following ways:

   ATmega4809
   atmega4809
   m4809

   ATtiny814
   attiny814
   t814

Specifically, these are the same forms as recognised by avr-gcc's -mmcu option and avrdude's -p option, for convenience in Makefiles and build scripts.

--baud, -B BAUD

Optional. Sets a different baud rate for communications. If not supplied, will default to 115200.

If communications are unreliable, try setting a slower speed.

--erase, -e

Send the CHIPERASE key as well as the NVMPROG key when enabling programming for the write-fuses operation. Normally this flag is not required when writing fuses to a newly-programmed chip, but may be necessary to recover from a bad checksum or bad fuse value.

--binary

Files read from or written to will be in raw binary format, instead of Intel hex.

SUBCOMMANDS

Multiple commands may be specified simultaneously; they will be executed in the given sequence. This may be useful for writing flash and EEPROM at the same time

   $ avr-updi -p t814 write-flash flash.hex write-eeprom eeprom.hex

reset

Sends a reset request.

   $ avr-updi reset

Note that this command does not need the --part to be specified.

read-sib

Reads the System Information Block

   $ avr-updi read-sib

Note that this command does not need the --part to be specified.

read-signature

Reads the 3-byte signature from the chip and prints it.

   $ avr-updi read-signature -p t814

erase

Erases the entire chip. Normally not required because a write-flash operation will do this anyway, but this command may be handy for erasing a chip to reset it back to factory state.

   $ avr-updi erase -p t814

read-flash

Reads from the flash portion of non-volatile memory ("NVM").

   $ avr-updi read-flash -p t814 flash-save.hex [LENGTH]

Optionally reads only the given length.

write-flash

Writes to the flash portion of non-volatile memory ("NVM").

   $ avr-updi write-flash -p t814 firmware.hex

read-eeprom

Reads from the EEPROM portion of non-volatile memory ("NVM").

   $ avr-updi read-eeprom -p t814 eeprom-save.hex

write-eeprom

Writes to the EEPROM portion of non-volatile memory ("NVM").

   $ avr-updi write-eeprom -p t814 data.hex

read-fuses

Reads fuse values.

   $ avr-updi read-fuses -p t814
   WDTCFG : 00
     WDTCFG.PERIOD    : OFF
     WDTCFG.WINDOW    : OFF
   BODCFG : 00
     BODCFG.ACTIVE    : DIS
     BODCFG.LVL       : BODLEVEL0
     BODCFG.SAMPFREQ  : 1KHz
     BODCFG.SLEEP     : DIS
   OSCCFG : 02
   ...

Decoded values of fields are also printed.

write-fuses

Writes fuse values.

   $ avr-updi write-fuses -p t814 BODCFG=02 SYSCFG0.RSTPINCFG=GPIO

Fuses may be specified as numerical values for entire registers, or symbolic names for individual fields.
