Atmel AVR programming

[Media Boot]

I have two ( for now ) questions:

• does Ubuntu support AVRISP mkII ( saw a few quite old threads stating it is a nightmare to get it up and running ) ?

• what is the best ( in terms of functionality ) replacement for AVR Studio ?

For question #1, a quick search gave me this, it's old but should still be valid.

You are not going to find a replacement for AVR Studio. Like many things in Linux, multiple projects comprise the functionality you would often find in many Windows all-in-one applications.

Most folks write their code in C (with the help of avr-libc) using their favorite text editor or IDE (I use Gedit, the default text editor), compile that code with `avr-gcc`, debug and simulate it with `avr-gdb` and `simulavr`, and program it to the chip with `avrdude`. All of these packages are available in the repos (I think avr-gcc is in there as gcc-avr). This is the same as WinAVR on Windows.

Makefiles are typically used to manage complex AVR projects.

You may want to take a look at the Wiring development platform.

Hi Guys new to this forum, i wonder if there is an development environment for AVR on UBUNTU platform. If there is one, please suggest me. In case if this is a wrong place to ask this question, please guide me to right forum....thanks!

Just in case if anybody works with Olimex
Ubuntu 12.04 you need only avrdude
and you do something like this

avrdude -V -p m64 -c stk500v2 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -U ~/mbvideo/icard/mk/icard.prog.hex -v 
# Fuse bytes shall be programmed only once on the new card. Be careful about actual values for FUSE. It is better no to touch them at all
# avrdude -V -p m64 -c stk500v2 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -U lfuse:w:0xFF:m -v  
# avrdude -V -p m64 -c stk500v2 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -U hfuse:w:0xD8:m -v  
# avrdude -V -p m64 -c stk500v2 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -U efuse:w:0xFF:m -v

In Windows

• Install driver https://www.olimex.com/Products/AVR/...rs/AVR-ISP500/
• Install WinAVR http://www.ladyada.net/learn/avr/setup-win.html
• Command

  avrdude -V -p m64 -c stk500v2 -P COM112 -U ecard.prog.hex
