Arduino Problems

Hello,

I installed Arch on my netbook, and so far everything works quite well, bit I have a problem with Arduino.

I installed it as mentioned in the wiki and the IDE workes good an I also can upload code to the Arduino.
But unfortunately I have the described delay bug the solution described in the Forum link is for Binutils Version 2.20 but I've Version 2.21 installed.

Is there a chance to get a patched Version 2.21. anywhere? And there seems to be a patched version needed for gcc-avr also.

Is anyone here who can help me with this Problem. I wouild really apreciate to write and upload Arduino code with Arch.

Thanks ina advance

Uwe

Re: Arduino Problems

Hi.

I have Arduino working on my x64 system.  As far as I can tell, anyway. Blink certainly works properly now.

I have a PKGBUILD archive (untar in /var/abs/local) which works for x64. Not tried it on i686, obviously but can't see why it shouldn't work. This was modified slightly from the one provided by the chap from the Debian archive (I made cloog_ppl two seperate dependencies, cloog and ppl , otherwise unchanged).

http://www.cyquiz.com/arduino-packagebuilds.tar.gz

To get it up and running, build the gcc-avr and binutils-avr packages and install them, then install avr-libc from the repos. Then download arduino from the AUR and build and install that package. It should work

You have to add gcc-avr and binutils-avr to IgnorePkg (remove the #) to stop pacman upgrading them.

Contact me if you have any problems. If you are on x64 I can send you working packages for gcc-avr binutils-avr and arduino.
