<h2 class="section">1.1 History and Credits</h2>
<p>AVRDUDE was written by Brian S. Dean under the name of AVRPROG to run on
the FreeBSD Operating System. Brian renamed the software to be called
AVRDUDE when interest grew in a Windows port of the software so that the
name did not conflict with AVRPROG.EXE which is the name of Atmel&rsquo;s
Windows programming software.
</p>
<p>For many years, the AVRDUDE source resided in public repositories on
savannah.nongnu.org,
where it continued to be enhanced and ported to other systems. In
addition to FreeBSD, AVRDUDE now runs on Linux and Windows. The
developers behind the porting effort primarily were Ted Roth, Eric
Weddington, and Joerg Wunsch.
</p>
<p>In 2022, the project moved to Github (<a href="https://github.com/avrdudes/avrdude/">https://github.com/avrdudes/avrdude/</a>).
</p>
<p>And in the spirit of many open source projects, this manual also draws
on the work of others. The initial revision was composed of parts of
the original Unix manual page written by Joerg Wunsch, the original web
site documentation by Brian Dean, and from the comments describing the
fields in the AVRDUDE configuration file by Brian Dean. The texi
formatting was modeled after that of the Simulavr documentation by Ted
Roth.
