avrdude: List available AVR devices.
$ avrdude -p \?
try on your machine

The command "avrdude -p \?" is used with the avrdude tool to query and display a list of supported microcontroller device types.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "avrdude" is a command-line programming utility for various Atmel AVR microcontrollers.
  • "-p" is a parameter flag used to specify the microcontroller device type.
  • "\?" is a special character combination that represents a question mark within the command-line interface (CLI).

When you execute this command, avrdude will display a list of supported microcontroller device types that you can use as the argument for the "-p" parameter. This is helpful when you are unsure about the specific device type you are working with or if you simply want to explore the available options.
