ArduinoOnBeagleBone

Arduino and AVR compilation tools for BeagleBone (currently command-line only)

This will give you the command-line tools needed to compile AVR programs and Arduino sketches. In this way it is similar to WinAVR for Windows and CrossPack for Mac OS X.

Specifically, the versions of the tools created are:

• avr binutils-2.22
• avr gcc-4.5.3
• avr-libc-1.8.0
• avrdude 5.11.1

Update 19 Jul 2014: @schiavone has updated the process to work with modern Arduino, see: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1k3ltjBM7x6sSX8FyFmMQFxjCXu7EGPTC8_UaT0u0PGM/edit?usp=sharing

Quickstart

1. Get & install the tools tarball with:

    # cd /
    # wget http://cloud.github.com/downloads/todbot/ArduinoOnBeagleBone/avrtools-arduino-beaglebone-20120630.tar.gz
    # tar xvzf avrtools-arduino-beaglebone-20120630.tar.gz
    # . /usr/local/avr/arduino-setup

2. Go into your sketch directory and start compiling

    # cd ~/sketches/MyAwesomSketch
    # ln -s $AVRDIR/arduino.mk Makefile
    # make
    # make upload
    # make monitor
