Is Haikelite still making the MT09R? (Will Banggood ever ship my order?)

avrdude -U flash:r:firmware-dump.hex:i

That seems like a promising command. I don’t have my programmer and SOIC8 clip yet (it’s still shipping) otherwise I would give that a test.

My only concern would be whether or not the hex file that generates could then be put right back onto the chip without any issues.

I forget how (even though I came across it within the past week), but there is definitely a way to create valid backups. (It may be the command quoted above.)

Ah, found it again. From this thread, the backup command is avrdude.exe -p attiny85 -c usbasp -U eeprom:r:backup.hex:a, where “backup.hex” can be swapped out for whatever filename you want (retain the .hex file type). Though I believe that can be shortened to avrdude -p t85 -c usbasp -U eeprom:r:backup.hex. That said, I have not (yet) tried the quoted command nor either version of the command in my post.

Oh thanks! That’s going to be super useful! I definitely need to read up on avrdude.
