Sorry, this is entirely and completely wrong. AVRPROG is old and unmaintained software that covers *just* the AVR910 protocol, runs only on Win32 systems, and can only and solely handle COM1 through COM4. AVRDUDE in contrast handles some 60+ of different programming adapters, using at least two dozens of different host protocols, ranging from simple manual bit-banging the ISP protocol on the host, through virtually all Atmel-supplied tools in a single program (rather than one program per tool), running on Win32 systems as well (at least) Linux, MacOS X, *BSD and Solaris. The only thing AVRPROG handles which AVRDUDE does not want to handle for legal reasons is decrypting the STK500 firmware files (those with the suffix .ebn). -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
