Package: avrdude Version: 5.10-3 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream several arduino-style devices called 'teensyduino'[1] are not shipped with the arduino typical serial programming, but with their own bootloader protocol called halfkay[2]. they ship an own command line client[3], which is not included in debian (i have created a minimal package at [4], but unless i'm convinced that this tool is the right way to go, i don't plan on supporting it for inclusion in debian).
the halfkay protocol[2] itself is quite stu^H^Himple -- no reading, no fuses, no identification, writing only in 128byte blocks. if it is not too simple for avrdude to support, i'd suggest to include this protocol in avrdude. (for matters of being too simple, i'd like to point out that other programmers are only partial as well, for example the arduino bootloader reports fuses as 0x00 and doesn't accept writes.) support for halfkay would mean that new teensyduino users could get into it much faster (using well-known tools).
