When writing sketch to Arduino, avrdude is used. Normally, Aruduino IDE is used for writing and avrdude itself is not directly used, but avrdude.exe is used from command line in case of writing hex file to flash or checking fuse setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USB \/ Serial connections are usually used, but avrdude does have support for connection over network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connect ESP8266 or ESP32 with Arduino via ISCP, and write sketch to ESP which relays command from network. Then connect ESP to network, and tell avrdude to connect over network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Command line sample is as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n

\navrdude.exe -Cavrdude.conf -v -patmega328p -cavrisp -P net:192.168.1.100:328 -Uflash:w:somesketch.hex\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
IP address and port number are passed with net parameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, at this point (Sept, 2021), avrdude.exe 6.3 included in Arduino IDE works over net in linux, but not in Windows. Trying to run in windows shows error like below.<\/p>\n\n\n

You see ser_drain(): and stk500_getparm(): errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While searching for avrdude source code, I found one with Visual Studio support. Great, and thanks to Marius Greuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Debugging above source (6.3.1.1), ser_drain() was missing network processing, and stk500_getparm() seems to be failing due to handling old data left in receive buffer. So, I’ve added network support in ser_drain() function and added drain (flush old data) in stk500_getparm before sending new command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
