I started my AVR project almost 2 years ago now, but there have been many long periods of inactivity, and every time I resumed work on the thing, I had to dig again in the man page of avrdude, as well as that of subersion. So an enhanced UI could be nice in that use case. However, I say UI not GUI, because I would prefer a ncurses based UI, so it can fit in my workflow which is all in terminal windows. Hopefully it's possible to lay bith a ncurses or graphical UI on top of avrdude ? In the meantime, I will keep re-reading and re-reading man pages ;-) Regards, -- Vince, loosy memory too... _______________________________________________ AVR-chat mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-chat
