I got tired of waiting for new avrdude binaries (windows) since there where some key bugs
with fuses (unused fuses verified as error)
and now the ability to specific bit rate in MHz or kHz, unlike before where you had to figure out the bit period
(I never could)
- The -B option can be suffixed with "Hz", "kHz", or "MHz", in
order to specify a bitclock frequency rather than period.
SWEET for new chips that clocked at 1mhz and need rate of like 250hz
so I figured out how to build the .exe myself, from a fresh SVN pull (today 1/25/2015)
now this is built without the FTDILIB so my guess the ftdi bitbang programmers wont work
[FT245R/FT232R Synchronous BitBangMode Programmer]
(I only used usbasp and Atmel's AVRISP-MKII)
and I didn't want to have to deal with the FTDILIB dependencies and having to be present
and who is using them anyway, when usbasp's dirt cheap!
this is the highlights of changelog since march of 2014 (6.1 build)
* 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)
* New programmers supported:
- ftdi_syncbb
+ uncompatino, ttl232r (FTDI TTL232R-5V with ICSP adapter)
(patch #8529 2 more ftdi_syncbb devices)
