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.

- Atmel DFU, using FLIP protocol version 1 (AT90USB and ATmega*U* devices),
or version 2 (Xmega devices)
- Atmel-ICE (ARM/AVR), JTAG, PDI, debugWIRE, ISP modi
* Bugfixes
- bug #40055: AVRDUDE segfaults when writing eeprom
- bug #40085: Typo fix in fuses report (for 6.1-svn-20130917)
- bug #40782: Verify errors for object size > 16 k on x32e5 due

- bug #41402: dfu.c missing include <stdint.h>
- patch #7896: DFU FLIPv2 programming support
- patch #XXXX: xxx
* 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.
* New devices supported:

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]>.

Version 4.0.0
* Now support Linux - added by "Theodore A. Roth" <[email protected]>.
* Now support Windows - added by "Eric B. Weddington" <[email protected]>.
* Use 'configure' scripts to tailor the code to the system avrdude
is getting ready to be compiled on - added by "Theodore A. Roth"
* Motorola S-Record support - submitted by "Alexey V.Levdikov "
* Support parallel programming on the STK500. Introduce 'pagel' and
'bs2' keywords to the config file for this purpose.
* Add support for the AT90S2343
* Add support for the ATmega169
* Add ability to specify system defaults within the config file
(default parallel port, default serial port).
* Specify the default programmer seperately from the programmer
definition. This is now done in the config file using the
'default_programmer' keyword.
* Support a per-user config file (~/.avrduderc) so that one can
override system wide defaults if desired.
* Follow the datasheet more closely for several parts in the "retry"
code when entering programming mode fails initially. Introduce
'retry_pulse' to the config file for this purpose.
Version 3.1.0
* This change represents a name change only. There is currently an
effort to port AVRPROG to other platforms including Linux and
Windows. Since Atmel's programmer binary that's included within
their AVR Studio software is named AVRPROG.EXE on the Windows OS,
there is the chance for confusion if we keep calling this program
AVRPROG as well. Up until now the name hasn't really been a
problem since there was no chance to confuse 'avrprog' on Unix
with Atmel's AVRPROG because Atmel's tools only run on Windows.
But with the Unix 'avrprog' possibly being ported to Windows, I
felt a name change was the best way to avoid problems.
So - from this point forward, my FreeBSD Unix program formerly
known as AVRPROG will subsequently be known as AVRDUDE (AVR
Downloader/UploaDEr).
This change also represents a time when the AVRDUDE sources move
from my own private repository to a public repository. This will
give other developers a chance to port AVRDUDE to other platforms
and extend its functionality to support additional programming
hardware, etc.
So goodbye AVRPROG, welcome AVRDUDE!
Version 3.0.0
* Rewrite parts of the code to make it easy to support other types
of programmers besides the directly connected parallel port
programmer (PPI).
* Add support for Atmel's STK500 programmer/development board. The
STK500's "paged mode" read/write is supported which makes this
programmer very fast. This is sorely needed on parts with large
memories such as the ATmega128. My 12K test program burns in
about 5 seconds, add another 5 to read it back out for
verification.
Version 2.1.5:
* When getting ready to initiate communications with the AVR device,
first pull /RESET low for a short period of time before enabling
the buffer chip. This sequence allows the AVR to be reset before
the buffer is enabled to avoid a short period of time where the
AVR may be driving the programming lines at the same time the
programmer tries to. Of course, if a buffer is being used, then
the /RESET line from the programmer needs to be directly connected
to the AVR /RESET line and not via the buffer chip.
Feature contributed by Rick C. Petty <[email protected]>.
* When in interactive terminal mode and dumping memory using the
'dump <memtype>' command without any address information, and the
end of memory is reached, wrap back around to zero on the next
invocation.
Version 2.1.4:
* Fix -Y option.
Version 2.1.3:
* Be backward compatible when reading 2-byte rewrite cycle counters
as written by avrprog version 2.1.0. Version 2.1.1 changed over
to a 4-byte counter, which caused avrprog versions 2.1.1 and 2.1.2
to report a negative count for parts that were initialized using
version 2.1.0. Thanks to Joerg Wunsch for noticing this.
Version 2.1.2:
* Add '-V' option to disable automatic verify check with uploading
data.
Version 2.1.1:
* Fix ATmega128 instruction sequences for reading fuse bits -
contributed by Joerg Wunsch.
* Modify erase-rewrite cycle counter code to use a 4 byte counter
instead of a two byte counter.
Version 2.1.0:
* Implement a per-part erase-rewrite cycle counter; requires the use
of two bytes of EEPROM memory.
Version 2.0.5:
* Support for ATtiny15 - contributed by Asher Hoskins
Version 2.0.4:
* Config file fixes for various parts.
Version 2.0.3:

to need this feature.
Version 2.0.0 :
* Add support for programming fuse and lock bits if supported by the
part.
* Move instruction encoding into the config file. Now any part can
be supported as long as it uses the same basic serial programming
instruction format.
* Add part definitions for the ATMega163 and ATMega8 devices.
Version 1.4.3 :
* Mostly internal code cleanup.
Version 1.4.2 :
* Fixes for ATMega paged memory support.
