I am trying to flash a program onto an attiny167:ATTINY167-A15MZ - Atmel - Embedded - Microcontrollers - Kynix Semiconductor(already bootloaded with the micronucleus bootloader) with a Raspberry Pi via avrdude and USB.
Background
I have 50 Raspberry Pi 3B's connected to an amazon server collecting data.
I have 50 custom attiny167 based USB sensor PCBs which I will connect to the Pis via USB
It is a struggle to access and connect each device (especially 50 of them), and I thus need to be able to reflash a program to them via the commandline of an RPi.
I have bootloaded them all from my windows 10 machine and can flash any program via USB.
RPis
I have flashed programs from the RPi with an Arduino Uno, both with the IDE and avrdude. Arduino and avrdude are installed and working (installed both with apt-get).
The RPi can run an already flashed program, with reading and writing possible from the USB device. When plugged in the device is viewed by the lsusb command for 5 seconds. The pre-flashed program then runs and lsusb shows no device:

udev rules
I have followed the tutorial for udev rules by digistump and placed the file at /etc/udev/rules.d/49-micronucleus.rules
UDEV of tinseey (similar to bootloaded micronucleus for attiny167)
AVR Device
this post hints it may not be possible, however this issue may have been resolved, as I am using an attiny167 (rather than an 85), and the Pi does not reboot on the USB being plugged in.
On using dmesg you can see it is unable to enumerate. dmesg

avrdude
I'm using the command, with different serial ports
usr/bin/avrdude -p attiny167 -c arduino -C /etc/avrdude.conf -b 19200 -P [COM PORT] -U flash:w:[MyHexFile.ino.hex]:i
this gives the error
avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "[COM PORT]": No such file or directory
avrdude done. Thank you.
The same method works with the Uno on the Pi, and the AVR device on my windows 10 machines.
I have updated the configuration file avrdude.conf to include the attiny167, as I did with my windows 10 machine.
Serial port
serial and ttyACMO appears with Uno in /dev, not for the AVR device.

when I type which avr-g++: /usr/bin/avr-g++, this is just a copy from my windows machine. I found this github issue and it seems to be irrelevant for now, just a path issue.
I've had to use a custom json file for the board manager to find micronucleus and Digispark Pro.
When I plug in the AVR device no new serial port is shown in Tools->Port (unlike Arduino UNO, ttyACM0 appears).
I'd much prefer to do flash via avrdude or similar on the commandline, so I have not focused on this.
