ArduinoIDE on Armbian for Udoo

chiefwigms · February 17, 2016

Anyone get ArduinoIDE working on armbian for the Udoo quad? When I try to upload a sketch, i see a java exception for bossac - no such file or directory (when i try to run bossac -h, same error)

Edit - the error above was for Udoo's 1.5.8 version. I tried 1.5.4, and now I get errors trying to create GPIO0 and GPIO117 (direction & value).

We only provide support on kernel level so you probably need to install some extra libs from Udoo pages.

I messed around with an earlier version of the ArduinoIDE, and it looks like the reason its failing is because it can't export gpio 0 and 117 (says device/resource is busy).

From patrykk's kernel readme, there's a line that says:

Arduino with Udoo patch (export gpio 0 and 117: "echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/export; echo 117 > /sys/class/gpio/export")

This is all from the 3.14.28 kernel a while back (just got back to messing around with armbian).

I tried loading the latest 5.0/3.14.60 jessie image, but it doesn't boot (my display says video out of sync).

I tried loading the latest 5.0/4.2.8 jessie image (keyboard layout is messed up - various characters numeric/<>":"'; are mapped incorrectly), and I get the same error message when trying to export gpio 0 and 117. I believe those lines need to get toggled to erase the sam3x

Also - I saw on the same readme that its possible to just recompile the dtb ("make imx6q-udoo.dtb") - this would be really helpful just to add one-wire without recompiling the whole kernel (after original compile). I tried building both udoo and udoo-next, but the version is 4.7. Anyway to add tags in the compile script to mirror what is on the main armbian site? Ideally it'd just be a device tree overlay that you'd be able to append to any build.

Thanks for all the hardwork - if not for armbian, the udoo platform would be dead
