Avrdude 7.3

[MCUdude]

Describe the problem

Hi @umbynos!
You're probably aware of it, but Avrdude 7.3 was recently released, with lots of new and exciting features, but also lots of under-the-hood changes.

One of the new key features is "automatic serial port discovery", which means that you can do -c ch340, -c ft232rl:[optional s/n] or even -P usb:[vid]:[pid]:[optional s/n] instead of having to find the correct COM port number or /dev path. New serial adapters can easily be added to avrdude.conf, which means that -c arduino_uno or -c arduino_mega world work just fine as long as their USB VID and PID are present in avrdude.conf. Neat!

Another neat feature is support for the famous "1200bps touch" functionality the Arduino Leonardo, Micro/Pro Micro and the Nano Every rely on. We put lots of development into this, and it works flawlessly with devices that gets a new PID and/or VID after issuing a "1200bps touch". Use the -r flag to issue a 1200bps touch.

However, Avrdude needs to be compiled with libserialport. I hope you're able to update the build procedure to add this dependency. It makes the entire experience a lot better for Arduino users!

Thanks and best!

Issue checklist

• I searched for previous reports in the issue tracker
• I verified the problem still occurs when using the latest version
• My report contains all necessary details

To get libserialport, the other possibility is to upgrade the crossbuild container.

Reference:

• Add libserialport for future avrdude release crossbuild#13

[mcuee]

Related issue from avdude project.

• github actions improvement avrdudes/avrdude#1679 (comment)

As of now, the action is only executed upon git push to git main, but not release tagging.

@umbynos

BTW, I think 0007-Cmake-fix-build-not-working-with-mingw-toolchain.patch is no longer needed with avrdude 7.3.

[mcuee]

One experiment to cross build libserialport and avrdude under the cross-build container using the mingw cross compiler.

Just attach my avrdude 7.3 release cross-build binaries in case people want to test under Windows and Linux. All binaries are built with libserialport support.

avrdude_mingw32.zip
avrdude_linux_x86.zip
avrdude_linux_x64.zip
avrdude_linux_arm64.zip
avrdude_linux_arm32.zip

Edit: renamed and archived here as well.

libserialport needs more work for cross build as well for macOS.

Hello @mcuee have you tried to use -framework IOKit I remember using something like this in the command line for avrdude building

avrdude-packing/.github/workflows/release.yml

Line 91 in b85bd88

cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=${{ matrix.config.cross_compiler }} -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=${{ matrix.config.cross_compiler }}++ -DCMAKE_AR=${{ matrix.config.ar }} -DCMAKE_LINKER=${{ matrix.config.ld}} -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="-L/opt/lib/${{ matrix.config.cross_compile }}/lib/" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-I/opt/lib/${{ matrix.config.cross_compile }}/include -pthread -framework Foundation -framework IOKit -framework Cocoa -framework Security -DHAVE_USB_H" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/lib/${{ matrix.config.cross_compile }}/ -DHAVE_LIBFTDI="NO" -DUSE_STATIC_LIBS="ON" -B build/

@umbynos

Thanks for the tip. I will try this over the weekend.

@umbynos

Sorry I can not figure out how to do it.

I tried things like the following and it did not work.

Then I also tried the fork here.
avrdudes/libserialport#3
https://github.com/ndim/libserialport/tree/add-version-suffix

But apparently it is also not working -- looks like the CMake script is not yet ready for cross-compiler.

FYI, avrdude 8.0 has been released.

As of now the static linking build binaries are missing libserialport support.

• AVRDUDE 8.0 released avrdudes/avrdude#1912 (reply in thread)

@umbynos
Just wondering if you can create the release for avrdude-8.0. One thing that this repo can do whereas avrdude github action cannot do is the use of code-signing certificate for macOS.

[umbynos]

Hey @mcuee! Unfortunately I don't have much time to dedicate to this. But I'll try to do the best I can. Do you happen to have a list of tasks to complete in order to update crossbuild and this repo to support avrdude 7.3 and 8.0?

I believe it should work out of the box, but of course without libserialport support. We can deal with that later.

Edit: I believe the following patch is no longer needed.
https://github.com/arduino/avrdude-packing/blob/main/patches/0007-Cmake-fix-build-not-working-with-mingw-toolchain.patch

[MCUdude]

An 8.0 "Arduino flavored" release would be really neat, even without libserialport. Avrdude 8.0 enables support for the PICkit5 as a UPDI programmer, which is quite significant!

[umbynos]

I've update/removed the patches in [update-7.3](https://github.com/arduino/avrdude-packing/tree/update-7.3) branch, but it seems to be some error regarding versioning name, could you help me to solve the issue? This was not a problem with the older versions of avrdude.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:24 (project):
  VERSION "7.3-arduino.1-rc1" format invalid.


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

@ndim do you have any idea what this might be?

@umbynos I dug a little deeper, and it looks like CMake's project requires a spesific version numbering system.

However, when you prepared 7.2-arduino.1, it looks like you didn't change this, only AVRDUDE_FULL_VERSION; see patch from 7.2-arduino.1 here:
https://github.com/arduino/avrdude-packing/blob/main/patches/0008-Append-arduino-to-version-string.patch

[ndim]

This looks like avrdude upstream should add some EXTRA_VERSION to the buildsystem which is usually undefined, but if defined, appended to the version string.

Then this project would not need to patch anything, but just add -DEXTRA_VERSION:STRING="arduino foo" to the cmake command or EXTRA_VERSION="arduino foo" to the configure command.

[ndim]

I have opened a pull request with upstream avrdude at avrdudes/avrdude#1927 addressing this issue.

Here is the corresponding commit from the PR. It applies cleanly to the released avrdude-8.0 sources, so you can use this patch until upstream avrdude does its next release with this patch included.

@umbynos Does this work for you (apply the patch, then add -DEXTRA_VERSION=-arduino.1-rc1 to the cmake command)?

Subject: [PATCH] Add extra version information to avrdude output

Some downstream projects build avrdude and want to add
their own version information to the avrdude version.

This adds a clean way to do that without patching for both
cmake and automake based builds:

    cmake -DEXTRA_VERSION:STRING=-arduino.1-rc1
    ../configure EXTRA_VERSION=-arduino.1-rc1

After building avrdude, the last line of "avrdude -?"
will now look similar to the following, depending on
whether you are building an avrdude git checkout or
an avrdude release:

    avrdude version 8.0-20240901-arduino.1-rc1 (30e19f23), https://github.com/avrdudes/avrdude
    avrdude version 8.1-arduino.1-rc1 (30e19f23), https://github.com/avrdudes/avrdude

[umbynos]

Hey! This looks great! Thanks

[umbynos]

Thanks for the help @mcuee @MCUdude and @ndim.
I've just released 7.3-arduino.1 and 8.0-arduino.1. I'm sorry this took this long. Let me know in case something is not working as expected. I would close this one since we already track libserialport missing in a dedicated issue.

[MCUdude]

Thank you so much @umbynos! Better late than never.

libserialport is indeed a separate issue, but it is best to wait until a new release of libserialport is here (0.1.2). The current 0.1.1 is pretty broken on more recent versions of macOS, and they just recently merged my PR that fixes this.

[MCUdude]

A new version of libserialport has just been released! It solves a lot of issues and is worth bundling with Avrdude.
