AVRprogd - Daemon for AVR microcontroller programming tool

SYNTAX

       AVRprogd
      

DESCRIPTION

       This is the AVRprog daemon for IP  networks,  it  provides
       services   to   access   programming   hardware   for  AVR
       microcontrollers  from Atmel via network. AVRprogd is part
       of the AVRprog netlayer.

       To  use  the  services  of  AVRprogd  you  need an AVRprog
       frontend  compiled with a client for the AVRprog netlayer,
       see AVRprog(1).

       AVRprogd   detaches   from  the  terminal  after  startup.
       Messages  are logged via syslog(3) using facility LOG_USER
       and priority LOG_INFO.

       If  AVRprogd  finds  a  running  instance  of itself, that
       instance is killed before startup. Finally  AVRprogd  will
       listen on TCP port 10000 for connections (AVRprogd must be
       recompiled  to  use  another  port).  For  every  incoming
       connection AVRprogd spawns a new server process.

       Note:
       The drivers for the programming hardware that are provided
       by the AVRprog backend will run with  the  permissions  of
       AVRprogd.  Ensure that AVRprogd has read/write permissions
       to '/var/run' (see FILES section) and the device file used
       by  the  programming  hardware  (the  one specified in the
       "Device file" field).
      

FILES

       /var/run/AVRprogd.pid
              Contains  the  PID  of  the  running   instance  of
              AVRprogd.   The   daemon  binary  must  have  write
              permission to '/var/run'!
      

BUGS

       No known bugs.
