Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install avarice on Ubuntu 22.04.
What is avarice
avarice is:
AVaRICE is a program which interfaces the GNU Debugger with the AVR JTAG ICE,
and other debuggers, available from Atmel. It connects to gdb via a TCP socket
and communicates via gdb’s “serial debug protocolâ€.
This protocol allows gdb to send commands like “set/remove breakpoint†and
“read/write memoryâ€. AVaRICE translates this commands into the Atmel protocol
used to control the JTAG ICE (or other) debugger.
Because the GDB-AVaRICE connection is via a TCP socket, the two programs do
not need to run on the same machine.
The currently supported debuggers are:
- JTAG ICE mkI
- JTAG ICE mkII
- AVR Dragon
