[avr-chat] GUI wrapper for avrdude

[Juergen Harms]

I am passing some quiet vacation afternoons, dreaming. Has a GUI wrapper 
for avrdude already been considered? - i.e. replacing painful command 
line input for some frequently made avrdude calls by a frontend that 
allows selecting what you want to do in a nice graphical user interface? 
Am I the only one who would like to have such a tool?

I consider to profit from experience that I have gained with developing 
various tools and to make something correspondant that facilitates the 
use of avrdude under *nix. That would be a tcl/tk based (probably no 
need for expect) quick-and-dirty approach to obtain a tool that allows 
to use avrdude without having to remember and type lengthy command-line 
input (eg. menus to select the part, the port and the programmer, 
buttons for downloading to flash and eeprom, display and modification of 
CPU configuration registers)- far from a clone of what you get when you 
use avrdude under windows, but nevertheless something much more easy to 
handle than "naked" avrdude on *nix.
