There are several easy hacks to talk UPDI over any standard UART device. These started with some advice from `pyupdi`[1] about how to just use a 4k7 resistor on the TX line of any USB-UART bridge to turn the thing into a half-duplex onewire. I now make and sell two separate products on my Tindie store[2,3] for doing this and I also link to my Device::AVR::UPDI CPAN module[4] containing another implementation of this.
I figure now's about the time for avrdude itself to have an implementation too, so the standard AVR code-uploading tool can do it. I'm imagining for example: $ avrdude -c updi-uart -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -p attiny814 ... Would anyone like to have a go at this, based on these two examples? Or failing that, give me a hand-hold at how to add new programmer support so I can do it?
