AVR4L
AVR4L aims to deliver an easy to use and user friendly Integrated Development Environment for developing Codes for microcontrollers based on Atmel's AVR families. AVR4L is a Creative coding / Integrated Development Environment for Linux operating systems intended for AVR beginners as well as professionals, it has many features from professional IDEs as well as the simplicity of editing.
Java JDK / JRE v1.8
is installed on your computer.
JAVA_HOME
environment variable, by doing the following:
Depending on where you installed your Java, you will need to provide the full path.
For this example, I installed Oracle JDK 8 in the /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle
directory.
Open the file /etc/environment
and scroll to the end of the file and enter the following:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle
Save and source the file by doing:
. /etc/environment
or source /etc/environment
Binaries/Linux
directory.sudo -E ./install.sh
within this folder.avr4l
in any terminal session or find it in the dash if you have Ubuntu
installed.Make sure Java JDK / JRE v1.8
is installed on your computer.
Clone/download this folder to your computer.
cd into the Binaries\Windows\installer project\AVR4L-SetupFiles
directory.
(recommended) install AVR4L Setup.exe
or run the AVR4L.exe
directly from the portable
folder.
note: windows version is not fully tested and may be unstable, it is intended for cross platform compatability.
note: if you want to use the portable version you must make sure that portable\avr-tools\bin
and portable\tools\bin
directories are added to the PATH
system environment variable.
The project's full focus is on the linux version as it aims to be an alternative to Atmel's Studio for linux users.
Upload fails with message permission denied
:
AVR4L requires super user permissions to upload sketches, you can either:
sudo avr4l
from a terminal
or add your user to the dialout
group, most programmers are listed in this group:
sudo adduser YOUR_USER dialout
note: replace YOUR_USER
with your linux user
Upload fails with message sudo no tty present and no askpass program specified
:
AVR4L requires super user permissions to upload sketches, but has not been run as root (sudo),
so when it tries to issue a command with sudo, there is no way for it to get the root password, so you can either:
sudo avr4l
from a terminal
or prevent sudo commands from requesting passwords:
in a terminal type:
sudo visudo
and add the following to the end of the file:
YOUR_USER ALL = NOPASSWD : ALL
note: replace YOUR_USER
with your linux user
