dfu-programmer is a multi-platform command-line programmer for Atmel (8051, AVR, XMEGA & AVR32) chips with a USB bootloader supporting ISP. Most Atmel devices having a USB port come pre-programmed with the bootloader, and this is a lightweight alternative to Atmel's own FLIP/BatchISP program. This is a mostly Device Firmware Update (DFU) 1.0 compliant user-space application.
topThis is a minor release fixing a longstanding problem with memory ranges on XMega
This is a minor release adding one experimental feature and mopping up a few bug fixes
This release contains a major internal reworking in several areas
After many years hosted on SourceForge we have taken the decision to migrate the repository to GitHub. We hope users will benefit from the enhanced support for open source collaboration that is offered by GitHub, and that we will benefit from more user input.
You can find the new repository here.
Downloads will continue to be hosted by SourceForge.
topYou can download the source distribution from the project files page. Windows users can download a pre-compiled executable, a set of USB drivers and the HTML help file in a separate zip file from the same page.

topThe need for this tool came about when Wes Schmidt needed to flash an at89c51snd1c chip that had the USB bootloader on it, but the Atmel-provided tool (FLIP) didn't support USB flashing in linux.
After a few days of web searching and scraping together a windows machine to do the job, he found that Atmel provided a document describing the communications protocol used, and happily spent the next week hacking together the start of dfu-programmer.
topThe mailing list is the preferred communication method.
