Wonderful approach, is a Linux version available? #1

Thank you for including the micronucleus bootloader int avrdude. 🥇

I (and others) currently have the problem with the old linux binary of the uploader not accepting new firmware versions.

Device reports version as: 2.2
Warning: device with unknown new version of Micronucleus detected.
This tool doesn't know how to upload to this new device. Updates may be available.

So it would be nice to have the avrdude integation also available for linux 😀 Thanks Armin

Armin: The micronucleus bootloader is the only feature I actually backported to Linux. Can you please try the build instructions here (its for Ubuntu) at provide feedback? https://github.com/mariusgreuel/avrdude#building-avrdude-for-linux

Thanks, Marius

Hi Marius, before I try to port it to Linux, could there be a parameter for -x wait like -x wait=60 and an output: avrdude.exe: No device found, waiting for device to be plugged in (will time out in 60 seconds) ...

And what are the chances to integrate your valuable changes in the upstream version, removing the need of the micronucleus binary for Arduino?

The time-out is a nice addition. I just added it.

I was planning on kicking back some changes, however, I was hoping for some sort of feedback first. Some changes are Windows only, others I expect to be controversial. For starters, I created an upstream branch, where I picked out the changes for micronucleus.

As you seem to be on Linux, would you be so kind to try the upstream branch changes? I updated the instructions here https://github.com/mariusgreuel/avrdude#building-avrdude-for-linux you just need to replace the windows branch with upstream.
