Good day all,
I have an arduino pro micro (Chinese knock off version) with which I am able to flash to with the arduino IDE but I am unable to recreate the same effect with avrdude in the terminal on Ubuntu 16.04
This is what I have observed from the verbose output on the arduino IDE:
Forcing reset using 1200bps open/close on port /dev/ttyACM0
PORTS {/dev/ttyACM0, } / {} => {}
PORTS {} / {/dev/ttyACM0, } => {/dev/ttyACM0, }
Found upload port: /dev/ttyACM0

avrdude done. Thank you.
Which I have done my best to replicate by using this code:
stty -F /dev/ttyACM0 speed 1200
stty -F /dev/ttyACM0 speed 57600
/home/philip/Desktop/arduino-1.8.5/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude -v -p m32u4 -C /home/philip/Desktop/arduino-1.8.5/hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf -c avr109 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -b 57600 -D -U flash:w:layout.hex
To the extent of using the same avrdude file and configuration as the IDE
However, when I do it this way, I face the following error:
/home/philip/Desktop/arduino-1.8.5/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude -v -p m32u4 -C /home/philip/Desktop/arduino-1.8.5/hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf -c avr109 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -b 57600 -D -U flash:w:layout.hex

Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.
avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: error: programmer did not respond to command: leave prog mode
avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: error: programmer did not respond to command: exit bootloader
So my question is, why is the Arduino IDE able to detect the type of programmer when the exact same avrdude executable is run through the terminal and yet is unable to flash the hex file?
My best bet is that it has something to do with the forced reset using the baud rate and that the arduino IDE is doing it differently from me, but I am unsure of what I need to change
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.
