I just received my Arduino UNO R3 kit today, and installed arduino from AUR. i just works. as always, "hello world" blink LED is the first thing everbody goes through.
will be trying a couple of other sketches ...
Arduino on ArchLinux ....!

Ok, somewhat opionated post, but still. Hope it will be useful.
It's a really good idea to ditch "arduino" package completely, or at least to know how to do it.
Your $EDITOR is likely much better for writing code and running make.
And you are also much more likely to get help from AVR guys if you speak their language (which has the word "avrdude" but lacks the word "sketch").
To run simple Arduino sketches, you need: avrdude, avr-gcc, avr-binutils (all from [community]), and hardware/arduino/{cores,variants} from arduino package (from https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/tree/hardware, or alternatively from arduino package if you have it already).
You don't need: arduino, java-runtime (that was over 100M of bloat the last time I checked it).
Rename or copy hardware/arduino to ./arduino in your working directory, and use the following Makefile:
SER = /dev/ttyUSB0
BAUD = 57600
MCU = atmega328p
CFLAGS = -g -Os -Wall -fno-exceptions -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -mmcu=$(MCU) \
-DF_CPU=16000000L -DUSB_VID=null -DUSB_PID=null -DARDUINO=101 \
-Iarduino/core -Iarduino/variants/eightanaloginputs
CPPFLAGS = $(CFLAGS)
ARDOBJ = wiring_shift.o wiring.o wiring_digital.o wiring_analog.o WInterrupts.o wiring_pulse.o \
Print.o HardwareSerial.o new.o Stream.o main.o CDC.o WString.o USBCore.o IPAddress.o \
HID.o WMath.o Tone.o
%.o: %.c
avr-gcc $(CFLAGS) -c -o $@ $<
%.o: %.cpp
avr-g++ $(CPPFLAGS) -c -o $@ $<
libcore.a: $(patsubst %,arduino/core/%,$(ARDOBJ))
avr-ar cru $@ $(filter %.o,$^)
%.elf: %.o libcore.a
avr-gcc -Os -Wl,--gc-sections -mmcu=$(MCU) -o $@ $^ -lm
%.eep: %.elf
avr-objcopy -O ihex -j .eeprom --set-section-flags=.eeprom=alloc,load --no-change-warnings --change-section-lma .eeprom=0 $< $@
%.hex: %.elf
avr-objcopy -O ihex -R .eeprom $< $@
%.upload: %.hex
avrdude -p$(MCU) -carduino -P$(SER) -b$(BAUD) -D -Uflash:w:$<:i
%.hex: %.asm
avra $< $@
clean:
rm -f *.o *.elf *.hex *.eep
rm -f arduino/core/*.o
rm -f libcore.aAdjust device names and defines if necessary. Play with baud rate if necessary.
To build blink.cpp, run
make blink.hexTo upload it, run
make blink.uploadCheck Makefile to see how it works. It's simple.
Add more libraries when/if you need them.
Arduino is also really nice for learning AVR assembler. It's basically avr328 with simple and easy usb programming.
Install avra from AUR, get some example (blink-asm.asm), get def file for you mcu (m168def.inc for most Arduinos — just google it), run
make blink-asm.hexto build it, run
make blink-asm.uploadto upload it to the device.
You don't need arduino library to write assembler code.

next version of arduino will be command-line capable, so no more black magic!
Stay tuned

Nevermind, I don't know what happened... upload using programmer clearly doesn't work, but upload does;;
The arduino IDE from the AUR was working for me about a month ago. By working, I mean at least it could at least upload my sketches--the interface is pure garbage in dwm. The AUR hasn't updated the package since then, but now I'm getting a
avrdude: usbdev_open(): did not find any USB device "usb"
My /dev/tty/ACM0 still shows up and the rx light blinks when I'm sending stuff with pyserial, so it appears to be just and issue with avrdude.
I remember avrdude being updated fairly recently... anyone else have the arduino IDE broken as a result? For the mean time, I guess back to Windows uploading it is...

i can't understand if you solved the problem or what.

Im using arch linux 2013.08.01 in eee pc 901, I've installedo arduino from AUR but when running it I got an error saying it cannot load class com.sun.*.GTKLookandfeel, my JAVA_HOME env var is correctly set and also my PATH. I've downloaded arduino from arduino.cc web page and installed locally in my home directory with the same result and same error. I think it must be a problem with arduino script for launching processing main app because looking at arduino script I see it sets CLASSPATH to several directories beneath arduino installation directory including a directory named java which does not exists, any idea?
Offline
the missing directory is ok, it is for boundled java. can you post the full stack trace? with the element provided we can't do anything.

strangely now it works, only change is I've installed ttf-dejavu package

Hi.
When compiling a sketch, I have thie following error:
Cannot run program "/usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avr-g++" no such file or directoryI can fix this by manually adding symlinks to avr-g++, avr-gcc, avr-ar and avr-objcopy but it's clearly not a long-term solution ...

Has anyone been able to get an Arduino 101 working on Arch?
I am new to Arduino on Linux and all of the other units worked without any fuss.
I get this error
Starting download script...
Flashing is taking longer than expected
Try pressing MASTER_RESET button
ERROR: Timed out waiting for Arduino 101 on /dev/ttyACM0
ERROR: Timed out waiting for Arduino 101 on /dev/ttyACM0
I found this link that describes getting it working and one guy that says it worked on Arch but I can't get it to go
(https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=481998.0)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for the education!
