I'd like to have a minimal setup (batch file, atprogram.exe, etc.) that will allow programming an ATtiny817 with Atmel-ICE over UPDI without needing Atmel Studio to be installed. Right now, I'm using the "Production ELF file" facility within AS to program my boards:
Anyone know how to accomplish this or knows where I can find the information I need?
Thanks
The program is in your installation called atprogram.exe (it's what that GUI above feeds into anyway).
Yes, I've found atprogram.exe in my AS installation but its help output when run naked on the command line is quite daunting! Any idea on how to capture what AS is feeding to it in my situation above? AS doesn't seem to have much in the way of console output for this operation.
atprogram --tool <tool> --interface <interface> --device <device> program -f <path to elf>
... should at least get you going...

It's a cli, so it can do a lot of things :)

Technically, it doesn't. There's a common component called 'atbackend' that both Atmel Studio and atprogram talks to to do any program/debug operation.
atprogram.exe help program
this will give you some hints...
Thanks all, for the hints. The command line help built into atprogram.exe is pretty good so through that I learned how to replicate the VS functionality I cited above with:
atprogram -t atmelice -i updi -d attiny817 program -c -fl -fs --verify -f myApp.elf
Next, I copied atprogram.exe and myApp.elf to a USB stick so that I could take it to another computer without AS installed to test. Here is the result of the test on the other computer:
E:\>atprogram -t atmelice -i updi -d attiny817 program -c -fl -fs --verify -f myApp.elf [ERROR] Could not find atbackend.exe
I added atbackend.exe to my USB stick and tried again:
E:\>atprogram -t atmelice -i updi -d attiny817 program -c -fl -fs --verify -f myApp.elf [ERROR] An unexpected error occurred when executing. Traceback (most recent call last): File "atmel\atprogram.py", line 48, in run File "atmel\avr\cli\commandline.py", line 54, in execute_commands File "atmel\avr\cli\commandexecutor.py", line 52, in execute_commands File "atmel\avr\cli\resourcemanager.py", line 44, in prepare_resources File "atmel\avr\cli\resourcemanager.py", line 51, in _prepare_resource File "atmel\avr\cli\resourcecontainers.py", line 54, in allocate File "atmel\avr\cli\backend.py", line 134, in start File "subprocess.py", line 710, in __init__ File "subprocess.py", line 958, in _execute_child WindowsError: [Error 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application
Obviously atprogram.exe not a completely stand alone program.
Is it even possible to do what I'm attempting?
Thanks
No, it is not standalone at all...

Tried to Google? I know we have a knowledge base article somewhere on microchip.com
I feel pretty silly now. The knowledge base article is the first hit in google. Thanks!
