Software for Pololu AVR Programmer v2

The package provides the macOS software needed to operate the Pololu USB AVR Programmer v2. Installation consists of a single 7 MB pkg that, when run, adds the GUI configuration utility and the command‑line tool pavr2cmd to the system. No additional driver installation is required; macOS’s built‑in AppleUSBCDCACM driver creates serial‑port entries such as /dev/cu.usbmodem… that the programmer uses.

The GUI utility offers a visual interface for configuring the device and monitoring its status, while the command‑line utility reproduces the same functionality for scriptable or terminal‑based workflows. Both programs are placed in the Applications folder and added to the user’s PATH via a file in /etc/paths.d, becoming available on macOS 10.11 and newer.

Targeted at developers and hobbyists who need to program AVR microcontrollers from a Mac, the software supplies the essential tools for flashing firmware, adjusting settings, and troubleshooting USB connectivity without requiring third‑party drivers.
