Some Atmel devices that require UPDI programming, such as ATTiny1604 can be used with Arduino by installing board support, and they can be programmed using certain Arduino devices such as Uno, Nano etc.
Here is how I configured the Arduino IDE to recognize 0-Series and 1-Series ATTiny devices, and how I programmed them using Arduino Uno as a UPDI programmer.
