Thanks. I’ve updated the link in the post.

Hi there,

Just in case. I’m starting with this but I have found that using the arduino editor and compile code from there, the resulting binary files are located in the /tmp directory. When reading this I took the Blink example and I build it. I searched for it and then I found that all the build in this case was located in /tmp/build17280.tmp/. The Blink.hex file is the one you’re gonna use so, the only thing left is to use avrdude. The makefile uses the stk500. I made an stk200 like programmer as you may read here (http://labombiya.com.ar/2009/01/04/programming-avrs) so I would use avrdude as:

$ avrdude -t m168 -c stk200 -e -U flash:w:Blink.hex

Of course you can made a script for this. I still didn’t programmed the freeduino but I think it’s easier using this interface so you forget about what to include and what to override. You just compile. Then, using your fav programmer you flash the binary in the temp directory using avrdude command-line or you made yourself a Makefile.

Good post!
Regards,
Sebastián Treu

Oh! I fixed it.

I have to press and release the reset button at about the same time as I run avrdude. avrdude also needs the -F option to be set.

Jowan:

It looks like avrdude is trying to read some text file for configuration information, and has found an error. As far as I know, the files that avrdude looks at are .avrduderc and avrdude.conf.

.avrduderc is a place for you to record your default preferences. According to the avrdude man page, the options you can set in it are the default programmer and the default serial port.

If you have an .avrduderc file, it will be hidden in your home directory. (The ‘.’at the start of the filename marks it as hidden.) Its contents should look something like this:

default_programmer = “skt500v1″;
default_serial = “/dev/ttyUSB0″;

Note the semicolon at the end of each line. That confused me.

I’m also having trouble with avrdude. When I run it there is a short pause, and then I get the message:

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

Then there’s another short pause, and the same message again:

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

And then it gives up. I *can* upload to my Arduino with the Java IDE.

I have updated my package of shell scripts (mentioned above, Feb.11) to use with Diecimila and Simple Message System. Now with a GUI via the Xdialog program. Available 24/7: run ‘wget http://user.cavenet.com/rolandl/SMS1.tgz‘
Full IO & PWM control. AD is scaled to milliVolts and formatted for import to most spreadsheets.

Hi
I’m running Ubuntu for PPC on an old G4 i-book, bit slow but very light machine. Sun Java is unavailable for this architecture, Open-JDK works good for some apps like Eclipse IDE but does not manage to get Arduino going, soooo,
trying to get Arduino command line working, then i can use text pad and terminal.
I have looked at your instructions which are very helpful but what i actually did was too.
> created a working directory in my home folder.
> copied blink.pde there
> copied Makefile there from arduino/hardware/cores/arduino
> edited Makefile with correct settings for serial port, arduino install location, and locations for avr-gcc etc which are /usr/bin/
> open terminal in working directory and run ‘make’
> makes fine, creates hex, outputs following ->

# Here is the “preprocessing”.
# It creates a .cpp file based with the same name as the .pde file.
# On top of the new .cpp file comes the WProgram.h header.
# At the end there is a generic main() function attached.
# Then the .cpp file will be compiled. Errors during compile will
# refer to this new, automatically generated, file.
# Not the original .pde file you actually edit…
test -d applet || mkdir applet
echo ‘#include “WProgram.h”‘ > applet/test.cpp
cat test.pde >> applet/test.cpp
cat /home/jowan/MyBin/arduino/hardware/cores/arduino/main.cxx >> applet/test.cpp

text data bss dec hex filename
0 1104 0 1104 450 applet/test.hex

> all good so far but ..
> run ‘make upload’and get the following error !! ..

# make upload
/home/jowan/MyBin/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude -V -F -C /usr/bin/avrdude.conf -p atmega168 -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -c stk500v1 -b 19200 -U flash:w:applet/test.hex
/home/jowan/MyBin/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude: 1: Syntax error: “(” unexpected

> the usb settings are correct, confirmed from dev folder
> also i am linking against the avrdude and avrdude.conf that are in my arduino install directory

I have developed a method to communicate with the SimpleMessageSystem on my Diecimila,
under linux using shell scripts. It isn’t polished, but it is functional, and I would
appreciate comments. Try it! wget http://207.14.167.161/SMS1.tgz . The scripts look odd
because they contain ^Ms. Use vi to examine the files.

I installed the SimpleMessageSystem and it works, sort of. I can run ‘screen’and get AD
values. I prefer connected mode, for Data Acquisition. I get data using ‘screen’as shown
in the ‘Linux TTY’page at arduino.cc. But I have no luck w/bash:
stty {all those parms}
echo “d a” > /dev/ttyUSB0;read < /dev/ttyUSB0;echo $reply
Then I could convert to CommaSeparatedValues for import to your_fave_spreadsheet.
When I bot this unit I thought the point was Data Acq/Control. No, it’s apparently
a toy for programmers. Still trying. Anyone got pointers? Thanks.

Yikes. The bits to look at first are the “This header file is obsolete”, “This file has been moved to…”, and “undefined reference to…” warnings. When I first started playing with Arduino from the command line, the key bits were to (1) ensure that I had the latest libraries; (2) ensure that I was building for the right processor (ie., building for the atmega168 since I have a Diecimila); and (3) ensure that the compiler could find the Arduino libraries.

What can I do?? It seens like a linker error, isn’t it?
