user19056: Is it possible to program the Arduino Due without the Arduino IDE? Is there a standalone program that can be downloaded, and be used to upload a .bin file (which has already been generated from the arduino IDE) to the Due? Any guidance appreciated. 
I read about SAM-BA programmer, downloaded it but double clicking the .exe file does nothing. Something seems to open but it disappers.

user6628: The standalone program for most arduinos is avrdude: http://www.nongnu.org/avrdude/
However, for the Due, it is BOSSA:

Unlike other Arduino boards which use avrdude for uploading, the Due
  relies on bossac.
