How To Update winavr's Avrdude Version
Avrdude is a program for downloading and uploading the on-chip memories of Microchip's AVR microcontrollers. Some of us still using winavr instead of atmel studio. But the problem with winavr is the last updated version available winavr-20100110 with avrdude 5.1 (CMIIW). This outdated avrdude that i face when programmiing is. there's some chip that are not available in the avrdude's list. So i updated it with this simple step. 1. Go to this link 2. Download the latest version avrdude ZIP file 3. Extract it 4. First open folder C:/winavr-20100110/bin and copy avrdude.conf and avrdude.exe to a back up folder (in case the new avrdude failed. you could just put it back where it belong) 5. Then go back to the extracted ZIP file and copy avrdude.conf ; avrdude.exe ; and libhidapi-0.dll 6. Paste those 3 files under C:/winavr-20100110/bin and overwrite the original file 7. If you're done copying, then open cmd and type "avrdude" to test it. 8. Now you can enjoy you...
