How To Fix kill-avarice: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu kill-avarice is provided by avarice package.

avarice is:

AVaRICE is a program which interfaces the GNU Debugger with the AVR JTAG ICE, and other debuggers, available from Atmel. It connects to gdb via a TCP socket and communicates via gdb’s “serial debug protocol”.

This protocol allows gdb to send commands like “set/remove breakpoint” and “read/write memory”. AVaRICE translates this commands into the Atmel protocol used to control the JTAG ICE (or other) debugger.

Because the GDB-AVaRICE connection is via a TCP socket, the two programs do not need to run on the same machine.

The currently supported debuggers are:

  • JTAG ICE mkI
  • JTAG ICE mkII
  • AVR Dragon

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install avarice

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install avarice.

sudo apt -y install avarice

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install avarice
