@stefanrueger, @MCUdude and @dl8dtl Personally I think we can spend a bit of time of the Documentation side. You sure have a lot of good examples on using avrdude CLI and terminal interface. We can document them either in the user manual or the FAQ page. When it comes to the avrdude pdf/html documentations, there are also areas of improvement we can do. Examples: |

For libavrdude, @dl8dtl has done a good example with the Python binding. Maybe it is good to have some C or C++ based examples as well. |

I just wrote a post over at the Avrfreaks forum where I announced that 8.1 is now available. The forum users are generally happy that this tool is being maintained and kept up-to-date, but there are users who complain that there is no GUI. Avrdude will always be a command line tool, and we have a python SWIG example that provide a GUI. But I get their point. A GUI tool that can be installed through an installer, or simply an executable without any dependencies would be very nice. I'm not talking about something that exposes all features Avrdude has to offer. That would be very difficult and would make the GUI less intuitive. I've never created a cross-platform GUI program before, so I don't know what I'm talking about. But how difficult would it be to create a "mouse-based" application that:
We do have the python SWIG example, but this isn't a single installer, and it's also more of a proof of concept rather than a polished and tested application that most people would feel right at home with. Microchip Studio 7 is soon EOL, and MPLAB X IPE is neither intuitive nor good. There has to be a market for a good, open-source GUI application that works on most operating systems. |

We have just released avrdude 8.1. So 8.2 release will probably not so soon -- probably toward the end of year 2025 or early 2026, if no serious bugs are reported.
