- fix M1 homebrew path #950
* Internals:
Changes in version 7.0:
* Major changes compared to the previous version:
- Completely revamped Windows support, including MSVC
- Started to add CMake (by now, parallel with autoconf/automake)
- New-architecture devices (AVR8X mega and tiny) can access all
fuses, and memory display shows meaningful alias names
- The "safemode" feature has been removed. The major class of
programmers it has been designed for (lowlevel bitbang
programmers on parallel or serial ports) virtually doesn't exist
anymore, and the fuse combination that was covered by it do not
match the fuses of modern AVR devices anyway.
- avrdude.conf is now being looked up in the location of the
executable file first, before considering the configured default
location; this eases a "portable use" where the entire suite is
not installed into its configured default location. (Basically
only relevant for unixoid systems; on Windows, this search order
has been used for many years already.)
* New devices supported:
- ATtiny828, ATtiny87, ATtiny167, ATtiny48, ATtiny102, ATtiny104

Version 6.2:
* Major changes compared to the previous version:
- The stk500v2 implementation now uses its own higher-level
command implementation for byte-wide access, rather than the
historic SPI_MULTI command where all the low-level ISP
implementation had to be assembled manually inside AVRDUDE. In
addition to the traditional STK500, this implementation is also
used by all the more modern Atmel tools (AVRISPmkII, JTAGICEmkII
in ISP mode, STK600 in ISP mode).
- The -B option can be suffixed with "Hz", "kHz", or "MHz", in
order to specify a bitclock frequency rather than period.
- Print part id after signature (patch #8440 )
- buspirate: Also support "cpufreq" extended parameter
in binary mode (patch #8504 )
- The "-P net:" syntax (forwarding of serial data over TCP) is now
also implemented for Win32 systems.
- Allow for arbitrary serial baudrates under Linux (OSX and *BSD
could already handle it).
* New devices supported:
- AT90PWM216 (bug #42310: New part description for AT90PWM216)
- ATmega32M1 (patch #7694 Add support for the atmega32m1)

* Internals:
- (Some) programmers can take a list of USB PIDs now.
Version 6.0:
* Major changes compared to the previous version:
- Programmer types in configuration file are no longer keywords but
specified as string.
So you need to change 'type = XYZ;' to 'type = "XYZ";' in own
config files. (internal: The parser does not need to know all
programmer types now, new programmers will update only the table
in pgm_type.c.)
- The erase cycle counter (formerly options -y / -Y) has been
removed.
- Specifying a -U option without a memory type (short form of
option argument list) now defaults to "application" memory for
Xmega devices, and "flash" for everything else. This ensures
the Xmega bootloader is not accidentally touched.
- For programmers that support it, the default erase method is a
page erase now, rather than a chip erase (Xmega only).
- Keep track of input file contents
Memory segments are being tracked to remember whether they've
been actually read from a file. Only segments that came from a
file are being programmed into the device, or considered for
verification. This drastically improves handling speed for
sparse files (e.g. files that have a second bootloader segment),
and it ensures the device contents is actually compared for
everything mentioned in the file (even in case the file has
large 0xFF blocks).
- The -U option now accepts ELF files as input files, and extracts
the appropriate section contents that matches the requested memory
region. To enable this feature, the host system used for the
compilation must have a libelf around, including the respective
header files (i.e., package "libelf-devel" on many Linux systems).
- Programmers and parts lists
They are now sorted at output with '-c ?'/'-p ?'. (patch #7671:
Sorting programmers and parts lists for console output)
Programmers and parts lists in documentation generated from lists
mentioned above. (patch #7687: Autogenerating programmers and
parts lists for docs)
Output list of programmer types with '-c ?type', add list to
documentation
- Configuration files now accepts parent parts/programmers, parts
starting with '.' (eg. .xmega) are not included in output parts
list and can be used as abstract parents
(bug #34302: Feature request : device configuration with parent classes)
(patch #7688: Implement parent programmers feature)
- Additional config files which are read after default can be
specified on command line using '-C +filename'
(patch #7699 Read additional config files)
- "Safemode" can now be turned off by default from within a
configuration file (like ~/.avrduderc).
- The new option -l logfile allows to redirect diagnostic messages
to a logfile rather than stderr. Useful to record debugging
traces, in particular in environments which do not offer
shell-style redirection functionality for standard streams.
- When leaving debugWIRE mode, immediately retry with ISP rather
than bailing out completely.
- The USBasp programmer implementation now supports detailed traces
with -vvv, and device communication traces with -vvvv.
- The "verbose" terminal mode command allows to query or modify the
verbosity level.

* Support for serial bit-bang adapters: Ponyprog serial, UISP DASA,
UISP DASA3.
* DAPA programmer pinout supported
* New "safemode" feature where fuse bits are verified before exit
and if possible recovered if they have changed. This is intended
to protect against changed fuses which were not requested which is
reported to sometimes happen due to improper power supply or other
reasons.
* Various fixes for avr910 and butterfly programmers
* Full support for AVR109 boot loaders (butterfly)
* Adding -q -q suppresses most terminal output
Version 4.4.0:
* Native Win32 support: The windows build doesn't need Cygwin
anymore. Additionally, the delay timing on windows should be
more accurate now.
Contributed by Martin Thomas
* Add support for
- ATmega48, ATmega88 (contributed by Galen Seitz)
- ATtiny2313 (contributed by Bob Paddock)
- ATtiny13 (contributed by Pawel Moll)
* Added command to change the SCK of STK500-programmers. Now it
is possible to program uC with slow oscillator.
Contributed by Galen Seitz
* Baudrate for serial programmers (STK500 and AVR910) is
configurable in the config or at the command-line.
This way some more tweaked bootloaders and programmers can be used.
* Deprecated options have been removed.
Now the "-U" option must be used.
* MacOS X now supported by default.
Version 4.3.0:
* Added support for "Butterfly" evaluation board.
* Make cycle-count work with AVR910-programmers.
* Added "Troubleshooting"-Appendix to the manual.
* Add ATmega8515 support.
Contributed by: Matthias Weißer <[email protected]>
* Add ATmega64 support.
Contributed by: Erik Christiansen <[email protected]>
* Improved polling algorithm to speed up
programming of byte oriented parallel programmers.
Contributed by: Jan-Hinnerk Reichert <[email protected]>
* Add "fuse" and "lock" definitions for the AT90S8535.
* STK500 skips empty pages in paged write resulting in faster downloads
when there are empty blocks in between code (such as files that contain
application code and bootloader code).
Version 4.2.0:
* Add basic support for reading and writing fuses via SPI with avr910
programmers. Submitted by
Jan-Hinnerk Reichert <[email protected]>.
* Perform an auto erase before programming if the flash memory is
anywhere specified to be written by any of the -U requests. Old
style memory specification options (-f, -i, -I, -m, and -o) are
deprecated in favor of the new -U options. Auto erase is disabled
if any of the old-style options (specifically -i and -o) are
specified.
* Add new -U option for specifying programming operations - allows
multiple memory operations on a single command line.
* New progress reporting, looks nicer and is nicer to wrapper
environments such as emacs.
* Fix long-standing timing (verify) problems on Windows platform.
Submitted by Alex Shepherd <[email protected]>.
* Add new file format option - 'm' for "immediate mode." In this
case, the filename argument of the -o, -i, or -U options is
treated as the data for uploading - useful for specifying fuse
bits without having to create a single-byte file for uploading.
* Add support for displaying and setting the various STK500 operational
parameters (Vtarget, Varef, Master clock).
* Add 'picoweb' programming cable programmer.
Contributed by Rune Christensen <[email protected]>.
* Add support for the sp12 programmer. Submitted by
Larry Barello <[email protected]>.
