<\/a>The mikroe EasyAVR5A<\/p><\/div>\n
Jump forwards a while and a helpful university produced a Linux (and Mac) program compatible with the built in USB programmer. This can be found here<\/a>. I have been using this software for a while and am very happy that it exists. To use it with the Arduino IDE, you need to add the MCUs you’re using (if you use an ATMega328p you can skip this as it is the standard chip in an Arduino Uno, although you will need to add it to the list of xml files which describe chips for the AVRprog2 software, described later for the ATMega32), build the project with “verbose” turned on in preferences, copy the path to the final mentioned .hex file, and paste it into the command line with the command to program the board. A little bit of a faff.<\/p>\n The mikroe AVRprog2<\/p><\/div>\n Messing about today I set myself a little challenge to see if I could add the avrprog2 program as a programmer within the Arduino IDE – I managed to get it working, so here are the directions on how. This should apply to other boards that use the mikroe AVRprog2 interface (labelled as AVRprog on the board, which causes confusion as there is a parallel interface programmer called the same).<\/p>\n 1. Download, compile and install the github avrprog2 project. You can mostly follow their instructions, except you have to run autogen.sh before anything else (otherwise the configure script doesn’t exist). The listed dependencies are not helpfully named (some aren’t the package names), but a bit of googling gets it working. For reference, I ran the following commands to install :<\/p>\n 2. Open the folder called “config”. Copy, then edit the file “atmega16.xml” to a file called “atmega32.xml” and then replace the contents with the following :<\/p>\n You don’t need to do this if you don’t plan to use the ATMega32A part, but I did and might as well include it. Once edited, save and copy to the folder “\/usr\/local\/share\/avrprog2\/”. You’ll need super user permissions to do this.<\/p>\n I’ve uploaded a few more config files in this post<\/a>. Note that I’ve included the default ones for reference. I’ll add more with time as I test more chips.<\/p>\n<\/a>sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev\r\nsudo apt-get install binutils-dev\r\nsudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev\r\nsudo apt-get install doxygen\r\nsudo apt-get install graphviz-dev\r\nsudo apt-get install graphviz\r\n.\/autogen.sh\r\n.\/configure\r\nmake\r\nsudo make install\r\n<\/pre>\n
