AVRDUDE (AVR Downloader Uploader) is a program for downloading and uploading the on-chip memories of Atmel's AVR microcontrollers. It can program the Flash and EEPROM. Where supported by the serial programming protocol, it can program fuse and lock bits. AVRDUDE also supplies a direct instruction mode, allowing one to issue any programming instruction to the AVR chip regardless of whether AVRDUDE implements that specific feature of a particular chip.
