How To Upload A HEX File On MacOS Using AVRdude
I show how to upload a precompiled binary HEX file on MacOS using the terminal and the Arduino IDE.
I managed to update the firmware on my Retro Chip Tester Pro on MacOS using this menthod.
I first had to update the firmware of my USBasp programmers, the process is exactly the same as for updating any other device with a HEX firmware file.
Example of the line grabbed from Arduino IDE console to get base information:
/Users/scott/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/avrdude/6.3.0-arduino17/bin/avrdude -C/Users/scott/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/avrdude/6.3.0-arduino17/etc/avrdude.conf -v -p atmega2560 -c usbasp -P usb -U flash:w:/var/folders/9x/yrvcl75n0ms1scnfk_0fx5g40000gn/T/arduino_build_751158/sketch_jun17a.ino.hex:i
Example of the line to update the firmware of USBasp devices:
/Users/scott/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/avrdude/6.3.0-arduino17/bin/avrdude -C/Users/scott/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/avrdude/6.3.0-arduino17/etc/avrdude.conf -v -p m8 -c usbasp -P usb -U flash:w:/Users/scott/Downloads/usbasp.2011-05-28/bin/firmware/usbasp.atmega8.2011-05-28.hex:i
Example of the line used to update th firmware of the ATMEGA2560 on the Retro Chip Tester Pro:
/Users/scott/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/avrdude/6.3.0-arduino17/bin/avrdude -C/Users/scott/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/avrdude/6.3.0-arduino17/etc/avrdude.conf -v -p atmega2560 -c usbasp -P usb -U flash:w:/Users/scott/Downloads/Retro\ Chip\ Tester\ Pro/upload_1.0_pro_v0.27_beta2/Chip-TesterPro-FW-v0.27.hex:i
