Some avrdude FAQ entry.

  1. How to read the fuse settings with avrdude 7.0 and later?

If you want to do more, try "terminal mode" (-t). You can browse around interactively through your device, including the fuse values. Non-interactively, it would need -U options, like:

avrdude … -U lfuse:r:-:h -U hfuse:r:-:h -U efuse:r:-:h

  1. JTAG could not write 1s to EEPROM.

Partially Fixed in PR 1106.

  1. Write flash rarely works in terminal mode for classic AVRs

Fixed in PR 1106 and PR 1121.

  1. optiboot timeout too fast, how to use it effectively in terminal mode?

  1. optiboot binary for official Arduino Nano Every and Nano 4808 Clone. https://github.com/avrdudes/avrdude/issues/1166#issuecomment-1302456228

  2. How to geneerate test hex file using srecord https://github.com/avrdudes/avrdude/issues/967#issuecomment-1129380825

Not woring under Windows MSYS2 MinGW but should work under Linux

$ head -512c /dev/urandom | srec_cat - -binary -o - -intel > /tmp/rnd.eep

Working for all OS with bash shell.

$ yes The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog             | head -512c | srec_cat - -binary -o - -intel >/tmp/en.eep
$ yes Z jagt im komplett verwahrlosten Taxi quer durch Bayern | head -512c | srec_cat - -binary -o - -intel >/tmp/de.eep
