AvrDudeProg5 (Successor to AVRDUDE_PROG 3.3) - GUI for AVRDude

Hi everyone,

I’d like to share a project that might be useful for AVR developers. AvrDudeProg5 is a graphical user interface (GUI) for avrdude, designed to simplify flashing and configuring AVR microcontrollers. It is an upgraded version of the classic AVRDUDE_PROG 3.3 (2008).

Feedback, suggestions, and criticism are welcome! 🙂

Does it have a Claude skill version of it?

[AVRDUDE_PROG]

Currently, it is a standalone Windows desktop application, so there is no direct 'Claude skill' integration. However, since it acts as a GUI for AVRDude, you could technically use Claude to generate the AVRDude command line arguments for you.

I've built a Linux version.
Any suggestions, comments, feature requests, or criticism are welcome! 🤝

Do you have the source code available?

There is no way I'm going to run some binaries from an untrusted russian site.

I'll have too agree here.

Seems like a nice program, but ......
I would have to pass too.



I have been using "engbedded" for a long time to generate my avrdude command lines

Seems like there's a newer vers here.

Most of the time i'm calling AVRdude inside a script, so command-line works well.

Its only really when i need to play around with fuse bits or something non-standard that a GUI is better for me.

AVRDUDESS works well for my simple avr needs.

AVRDUDESS has been around since I was a kid.

happy to know there is some activity  for it  and corrections and updates are made

The choice is yours.

It is currently in development. I'm thinking about how to keep the interface clean. Any suggestions are welcome

It's a great program.

Thank you very much, I appreciate your effort.
My question / suggestion
Can the program work with a CH341A programmer and on Windows XP?
Why is there such a large difference in size between version 3.3 and version 5?

[coromonadalix]

i never saw any asp or jtag built on theses 341  and for sure i myself would not use them,  avr isp asp jtag is so cheap to buy

AI friend answer

You can use a CH341A (typically configured as a USB-to-SPI/I2C/UART adapter) as a JTAG interface, but it is not natively designed for this and requires third-party patches and bit-banging.

The Challenges
No Native Hardware Support: The standard CH341A doesn't have native JTAG or SWD controller modes, meaning JTAG commands must be bit-banged via software.Signal Voltage Risks: Traditional, cheaper CH341A black modules output 5V logic. Attempting to hook a 5V signal into modern 1.8V or 3.3V JTAG processors will instantly damage the target device. Always use a version with a physical 1.8V/3.3V voltage regulator or selector switch.

Slow Speeds: Software-emulated JTAG bit-banging is extremely slow.How to Do It (The OpenOCD Route)To use a CH341A for JTAG, you will need to rely on OpenOCD (Open On-Chip Debugger).Source Code & Patches: You will need to download and compile a custom build of OpenOCD that supports the CH341A adapter, such as the widely used OpenOCD CH341A Patch on GitHub.Configuration: You will map the GPIO pins on the CH341A to the standard JTAG pins (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO, TRST, SRST).Pin Mapping:TCK usually maps to D3TMS usually maps to D0TDI usually maps to D7TDO usually maps to D5A Better AlternativeIf you are doing serious hardware debugging, using a CH341A as a JTAG interface is widely discouraged due to the setup difficulty and risk of frying your board. Instead, developers and hardware hackers highly recommend dedicated USB-to-JTAG adapters like the FT2232H or FT232H breakout boards (e.g., Adafruit FT232H). These natively support JTAG/SWD, integrate seamlessly with OpenOCD out-of-the-box, and have built-in multi-voltage level shifting.
