    On TinyG Updating Firmware page it states that:
    “The quickest way to get a binary version of avrdude for your system is to download the latest version of the Arduino IDE.”
    https://github.com/synthetos/TinyG/wiki/TinyG-Updating-Firmware

    There is no avrdude included in any of the packages on Arduino IDE page:
    http://arduino.cc/en/main/software

    Only place I have found avrdude was on the adafruit website:
    https://learn.adafruit.com/usbtinyisp/download

    However their latest version for mac doesn’t work on Mac OS X 10.9
    Gets error:
    -bash: /usr/local/bin/avrdude: Bad CPU type in executable

    So where can I find working version of avrdude so I can update the firmware?
    I am on version 8 hardware, firmware 0.96, build 380.08. Need to install 0.97 edge as I need soft limit switches.

    Thank you for your help (I still have all the hair).

    For anyone this is the link to the latest version of avrdude:
    http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/avrdude

    Didn’t check yet Mac version on OSX 10.9. I just learned that one can update firmware to 435.10 from tgFX build 3625. However there is no tgFX build 3625 Mac binary to download as of this time. So I am kind of walking in circles here.

    Avrdude is buried in the latest Arduino package, version 1.5.7. Unzip the app and right click to show package contents (these are OSX instructions, other platforms may be different). You can find Avrdude in Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude

    I’ll update the wiki docs.

    Thanks. It is actually at the slightly different path (on OSX 10.9):
    Contents/Java/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude
