How To Install avrdude on Fedora 34

avrdude is Software for programming Atmel AVR Microcontroller

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install avrdude on Fedora 34.

What is `avrdude`

AVRDUDE is a program for programming Atmel’s AVR CPU’s. It can program the Flash and EEPROM, and where supported by the serial programming protocol, it can program fuse and lock bits. AVRDUDE also supplies a direct instruction mode allowing one to issue any programming instruction to the AVR chip regardless of whether AVRDUDE implements that specific feature of a particular chip.

We can use yum or dnf to install avrdude on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install avrdude.

Install avrdude on Fedora 34 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh

The output should look something like this:

Metadata cache created.

After updating yum database, We can install avrdude using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install avrdude

Metadata cache created.

After updating yum database, We can install avrdude using yum by running the following command:

sudo yum -y install avrdude

How To Uninstall avrdude on Fedora 34

To uninstall only the avrdude package we can use the following command:

sudo dnf remove avrdude
