Include this file into your Console-folder structure and you can download avr assembler hex files to your avr-board via avrdude

You need a proper installation of avrdude 5.0.x !

This file provides:
-> device-selection
-> programmer type ( I'm using parallel port, i didn't check if other types are working well)
-> writing to memory types (flash, eeprom, etc)
-> write/read from device
-> go into avr-terminalmode
-> erase flash before write

Version: 0.1

I only tested this file under Ubuntu Breezy Badger, it should be work on other distris too, but maybe not under windows

Your avrdude installation needs user access-rights to use the parallel-port, to get these rights for avrdude you should set the s-bit for avrdude
sudo chmod +s [path_to_your_avrdude_binary]/avrdude

If you get the below error-message:

avrdude: can't open device "/dev/parport0": No such file or directory
avrdude: failed to open parallel port "/dev/parport0

you have to include the kernel-module ppdev into your kernel. Easiest way to do this is to include the modules in you /etc/modules file:

sudo echo "ppdev" >>/etc/modules

After the next reboot the parallelport modules should be loaded automatically :-).
To include the module during "live" do this:
sudo modprobe ppdev

After this work, avrdude should be run without any errors
