To learn about embedded systems development I learned what tool chain is required to write, compile, and upload machine code a ATtiny85 microcontroller.
To upload the program I used AVRdude and the programmer is a Tiny AVR Programmer.
-
First you need to plug in the Tiny AVR Programmer to a USB port with the micro controller connected to it.
-
Run make
make
Now the compiled code should have been burned onto the ROM of the microcontroller.
