AVRDUDE is a utility to download/upload/manipulate the ROM and EEPROM contents of AVR microcontrollers using the in-system programming technique (ISP). Mac Setup - Paths The following two methods both place all of the files in the /usr/local/bin directory in the hard driver. Unfortunately that directory is not in the default path. That means that when you type avrdude into the terminal it cant figure out where to look. Jun 23, 2017 One thought on “ Install avrdude on Mac OSX ” Miro says: August 12, 2017 at 6:25 pm. For Mac's, there are no parallel ports. However, if you're using a USB-serial adapter (which lets you use an STK500 or AVRISP v1 with a Mac) then you'll need to specify the serial port.
I have been working for hours to get Avrdude 5.8 installed with usb support on my Mac with OS X 10.6.2.Avrdude Mac Arduino
Use the specified config file for configuration data. This file contains all programmer and part definitions that AVRDUDE knows about. If you have a programmer or part that AVRDUDE does not know about, you can add it to the config file (be sure and submit a patch back to the author so that it can be incorporated for the next version).
I finished building my USBtiny kit (that I got from you) and wanted to test it on a simple Atmega 48 circuit, but even after installing libusb 1.12 and Avrdude 5.8 several times, Avrdude keeps giving me an error telling me I still need to install libusb, recompile avrdude and then reinstall avrdude.
I was going to trying to test it with the command. 'avrdude -c usbtiny -p m48' to see if it would talk to the chip, but it just gives me that error about needing libusb installed. Just for the heck of it, I also downloaded Arduino 0017 and tried the burn boot loader option becase I know it suports the USBtiny. All I get is 'avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1' when I do that.
I'm new to all this stuff and don't understand why I can't get avrdude to install with usb support... HELP!!!
