Atmel Studio includes a command line utility called
atfw.exe
which can be used to do a manual upgrade of most Microchip
tools. atfw.exe
is installed in the atbackend
subfolder.
atfw.exe
can be used to: Perform upgrade from a script
Upgrade using a custom firmware file
Read out firmware version
For details on how to upgrade using this utility, execute atfw.exe
-h
.
To do a firmware upgrade on a tool already in upgrade mode, invoke atfw the same way as a normal firmware upgrade. Some warnings may be displayed as the tool is unable to switch the tool to upgrade mode, but should proceed with the upgrade.
If a tool listing is done, the tool will have a name that is related to the mode it is in. atfw should, however, be invoked with the tool name as it is presented to the user in normal operation.
