Hex upload works in IDE but not in CLI (avrdude)a

Development Tools Uploading
1

Hello I'm new in the arduino world, so I'am trying to write my first blink program

With the IDE I can compile and upload it. But with the CLI , it Generating this output:

code:

void setup()
{
  pinMode(22, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
  // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  digitalWrite(22, HIGH);
  delay(1000); // Wait for 1000 millisecond(s)
  // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  digitalWrite(22, LOW);
  delay(1000); // Wait for 1000 millisecond(s)
}

output:

avrdude done.  Thank you.

However I want flash it by avrdude CLI, so installed it and I used the tried this: sudo avrdude -c wiring -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -v -x delay=9000 -b 115200 -p atmega2560 -U flash:w:Shine.ino.hex:i
resulting in the following error,

I'm trying to do that for some time now so a little help is very much appreciated

Thank you in advance for your Time :slight_smile:

PS: English is not my primary language so so sorry for any grammatical issues

If you enable verbose output during upload under file/preferences in the IDE you can see the exact command that is used for the upload.

On my system uploading blink to an original Mega (you seem to be using a clone):

/home/wim/Downloads/1_arduino_ide_1.x/arduino-1.8.19-attiny/portable/packages/arduino/tools/avrdude/6.3.0-arduino17/bin/avrdude -C/home/wim/Downloads/1_arduino_ide_1.x/arduino-1.8.19-attiny/portable/packages/arduino/tools/avrdude/6.3.0-arduino17/etc/avrdude.conf -v -patmega2560 -cwiring -P/dev/ttyACM0 -b115200 -D -Uflash:w:/tmp/arduino_build_245020/Blink.ino.hex:i

If you issue the command used by the IDE on the command line, does it work?

Note
To run avrdude from the command line, you do not need the Arduino-CLI because the avrdude is already installed.

Hello thank you i didn't tried that, but unfortunately it not worked, the resulting output is

The system is identifying the arduino [ 5275.377125] usb 1-2: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB0 and the permissions for /dev/ttyUSB0 are defined as:

crwxrwxrwx+ 1 xxx dialout 188, 0 set  2 13:03 /dev/ttyUSB0

my system is Ubuntu 22.04.3 with gnome terminal, what could be different between the IDE and the terminal?

Hi @mateus_habdig7oficial.

This error is probably being caused by you having the port open in the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor. Only one process at a time can have control over the port, so when it is open in Serial Monitor, AVRDUDE can't use it to upload.

You don't experience this when uploading via Arduino IDE because the IDE is smart enough to automagically juggle the control over the port between Serial Monitor and the upload tool; closing the port in Serial Monitor at the start of the upload and reopening it again after the upload finishes.

Click the X icon on the Serial Monitor tab in the bottom panel of the Arduino IDE window:

, then try the upload again.

Oh I'm dumb kkk, it worked now :slight_smile: , now I have to compare the command that I'm tried and the parameters of the IDE right?

I'm glad it is working now.

The command you showed here is good:

thank you all for your help not it's working the final command i used is that:

avrdude -v -V -patmega2560 -cwiring "-P/dev/ttyUSB0" -b115200 -D "-Uflash:w:Shine.ino.hex:i"

Now I just need to learn to compile with avr-gcc and I no longer need to use arduino IDE :slight_smile:
