RPI + Arduino IDE & the JESSIE challenge Posted by kll on June 12 2015 09:47:51when you use RPI ( with debian wheezy ) you can install a arduino IDE 1.0.1 ?
what is rather old to actual 1.6.4 and does not support DUE .. board types.
so i was looking for any update on that.
RPI forum nicohood
new setup:
2015-05-05-raspbian-wheezy.zip (in download page say 990M by torrent download at 1.3MB/s in 12 min.
show 1.038.523kB unpack 2015-05-05-raspbian-wheezy.img 3.276.800kB
i use a 8GB Sundisk ULTRA microSD I (class 10), format with "SDFormatter V4.0"
and use "Win32 Disk Imager" to write to SD at about 13MB/s in 4 min.
( delete the img file ( keep the zip ) )
put SD in RPI, powerup and check router DHCP clients RPI IP.
use "putty" / "bitvise SSH client" / for headless operation sudo raspi-config / expand file system / rename HOSTNAME / reboot sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install xrdp // for headless operation WIN PC sudo reboot
sometimes the tone in that thread is bad, as i see it many times in that forum,
especially towards beginners and non native english speaking/writing users, so i stopped posting there.
It is that we beginners have to bow to that specialists, however cryptic and arrogant their posts might be.
ok, i try: ( and just for info: i use/have only a old RPI B ) -a- JESSIE
cd /etc/apt/
sudo cp sources.list sources.list.wheezy
sudo nano sources.list
exchange in first line "wheezy" to "jessie" ctrl O ctrl X sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y takes 3.5h While the system is upgraded it will ask you to change a few configs. Always say 'N', except to
ssh cron say OK
bashrc NO ?why?
sysctl NO ?why?
logindefs NO ?why?
i see a warning unable to delete old dir, /etc/python2.7/ dir not empty
ssh ntp say OK ..... lightdm.conf say 'Y'.
sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf change #autologin-user= autologin-user=pi sudo reboot
i can start putty, but at
login as: pi it hangs until timeout error.
on HDMI monitor see
[failed] failed to start login service
[failed] failed to start LSB
[failed] failed to start Avahi
[failed] failed to start Modem manager
and after that hangs there.
( later i see exactly that problem in the forum ) 4 hours for nothing
what can i do? unzip image (2min) and burn wheezy (4min), update, upgrade, xrdp again
now i have to dig what jessie distro upgrade mistakes might have been there
( from nicohood section How to recompile )
now i follow gdt
change wheezy to jessie in sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list
do sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (
( this blog not say anything about the questions/answers
so i list them here again and answer like nicohood again all but one "N" as i have no other info, pls we all understand that i not know what i am doing here!
also both not tell you that you have to expect a 3.5h job?
so i add a time log what should help you
and not need to sit 3.5hours in front of the stupid terminal.
in above first try it was in a 37degC room / my private hell / but can not change or stop, only hope my desktop computer not stops from overheating /
the RPI was cool / downstairs / powerline - ethernet - headless)
second try: start 0:00
0:33 download finished, start extracting
0:35 question: openshh=server NO
0:36 question: libc6 armhf NO
0:36 question: ssh cron OK
1:02 question: .bashrc NO ( keep installed version ?)
1:07 question: sysctl.conf NO ( keep installed version ?)
1:36 question: login.defs NO ( keep installed version ?)
1:41 question: libssl1.0.0:armhf: ssh ntp OK
3:01 start setting up
3:18 question: rc.xml NO ( keep installed version ?)
3:18 question: pcmanfm.conf NO ( keep installed version ?)
3:25 question: dphys-swapfile NO ( keep installed version ?)
3:30 question: lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf NO ( keep installed version ?)
3:30 question: lightdm.conf YES
3:32 finished
)
anyhow do the sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf from nicohood autologin-user=pi
and follow gdt sudo apt-get autoremove YES 112MB
DO NOT REBOOT HERE
cd /etc/udev/rules.d
but not find the 2 files he talk about to rename, i see only files:
40-scratch.rules and 99-com.rules, so i don't know what to do.
sudo apt-get purge ifplugd YES sudo apt-get purge cgmanager cgroup-bin cgroup-tools libcgroup1 YES sudo apt-get purge systemd-stub
create the directory /var/log/journal/ cd /var/log/ sudo mkdir journal
i not consider booting in single user mode sudo reboot good, putty login OK, HDMI boot OK
and first i want play little bit with the new system sudo apt-get install mc ( i can not work without that, use from desktop and putty )
the USB stick now is not accessible via /media/KINGSTON/ but /media/pi/KINGSTON/ works
Remote Desktop login works OK ( i installed under wheezy )
menu/internet/web or webbrowser first start not work,
but terminal ping google.com OK
later test browser ( epiphany ) again ( via link ) and now works ??
IDLE 2.7.9 shell OK
IDLE 3.4.2 shell OK
pygame OK
filemanager and terminal OK
time and date settings / from wheezy raspi-config / OK
SONIC PI shows 2 init pages but i not see the operation window
SCRATCH not start
ok, i purge sonicPI and scratch (112M
AND make backup of the SD card, with "Win32 Disk Imager" at 15MB/s in 9min and zip/move 7.0GB to 3.7GB in 15min.
also install synaptic ( very slow but good to see all what is installed / or could be installed )
but do not get confused, doing a cat /proc/version give you the exact same linux OS info on both systems,
but a lsb_release -sr show you the DEBIAN version / WHEEZY 7.8 / JESSIE 8.0 /
so i need to read what is it about the 2 DEBIANs anyhow, but, for the first look, over all: JESSIE is surprisingly usable! -b- make arduino IDE
following forum by ShorTie
742MB more, need 1h
my cat closed the terminal window so i don't know what happened
run taskmanager (++view menu ) and wait until cpu usage down and root jobs (apt-get...) finished
the logfile is /var/log/dpkg.log
anyhow just try again for recheck 5secs OK
get the source: cd /usr/local/src sudo wget https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/archive/1.6.4.zip (91MB, 3min) sudo unzip -q 1.6.4.zip cd Arduino-1.6.4 sudo wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/xpalmwf4psb3qab/Arduino_1.6.4.debian.tar.gz what is that and who make it?? sudo tar -zxf Arduino_1.6.4.debian.tar.gz
compile the package: sudo dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b -tc (45min ) cd .. sudo apt-get remove -y arduino arduino-core ( error because no prior arduino installed, needed?)
install the package: sudo dpkg -i arduino-core_1.6.4_all.deb arduino_1.6.4_all.deb (18min)
and under START / programming or electronics / find Arduino IDE
THANKS ShorTie
again would be nice ( like nicohood tried ) to distribute that compiled version
and save us some hours.
when i work arduino code from 2 win PC i use google drive ( installed on both PC )
( so the code is on both PC and synced via the web cloud )
now that i don't know how to do from RPI,
so i copy my old arduino projects ( from google drive ) to the USB stick at the RPI.
for more easy cross update i should install samba for the RPI USB stick.
but the "bitvise SSH client" SFTP tool is ok too.
after adjust arduino IDE / file / preferences / "/media/pi/KINGSTON/...." i have all my projects available.
but arduino IDE / tools / port / is grey? even on the first test it worked already ( incl terminal )
/ try reboot but not help /
now the MICRO ( leonardo family ) is tricky for USB, OR
powerproblems? so first i try using a powered USB HUB for the arduino.
even i check now with lsusb and see a "Arduino SA" as Bus 1 Device 6, IDE port still grey sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart [ok] but IDE port still grey
must test with old system OR with different Arduinos.
a recheck with a updated wheezy and arduino IDE 1.0.1 shows that terminal works at same hardware situation, only other SD card.
back with IDE 164 start without any arduino connected i see port and /dev/ttyAMA0
when i connect a Ardunio UNO and wait i see /dev/ttyACM0 (Arduino UNO )
and its selectable and terminal works. So possibly its just difficult with Arduino Leonardo / Micro Pro...
to verify:
i reboot RPI ( model B,JESSIE, Arduino IDE 164 ), start IDE, connect UNO, compile download ( my alarmtimer sketch ), close IDE,
reboot, start IDE and port is grey again
if i start terminal get error: board at /dev/ttyACM0 is not available
Now that says that it is not a question of Arduino model... more about the RPI boot (and a arduino sending to ttyACM0 ?)
for the remote application i think about, that is a KILLER.
change SD card ( model B,WHEEZY, Arduino IDE 101 ) , boot with connected Arduino UNO,
terminal works.
later in the forum a lucky hevangel states in a summary
that he do add a 3. sudo ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyACM0
4. sudo usermod -a -G dialout pi
5. sudo usermod -a -G tty pi
6. *** disconnect the Arduino before starting the Arduino IDE ***
now, i did not use (3) (4) (5)
and as he states (6) that could be a confirmation that he has also the reboot problem,
and that even after he used above 3 add commands?
still i want to mention them here.
pls see also ( when there was a arduino installed already ): cat /usr/bin/arduino calls cat /usr/bin/arduino-add-groups
-c- why not test JESSIE with IDE101
overwrite SD with above JESSIE backup01 and again
usual update: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo reboot sudo apt-get install arduino
when i start Arduino IDE it is called: Ardunio 2:1.0.5+dfsg2-4
Serial Port is grey. ( even no Arduino was connected )
( what can i say: more tests more questions! )
anyhow reboot, connect arduino UNO ( no powersupply), start IDE, port ok, can select /dev/ttyACM0
Monitor ok. close IDE,
reboot with connected arduino, start IDE, port OK, monitor OK NOW WE KNOW:
ITS NOT A JESSIE PROBLEM
IDE 2:1.05 OK
IDE 1.6.4 (ShorTie version) NOT OK when arduino connected at REBOOT
( but even i ask in forum, that was not confirmed by anybody ) -d- IDE 1.6.5
now i see CRImier say he has a different way, using 1.6.5, not use patches but build file / works for RPI 2 and JESSIE / and just to follow official Building Arduino only use his git clone https://github.com/CRImier/Arduino.git
actually i not understand what i would be supposed to do. new post
but CRImier ( 16.6.2015) supplied a link to his files at dropbox
and i have the above good situation ( SD with fresh JESSIE and IDE 2:1.05 ) to test.
but now as he use ls /usr/share/arduino/
i think i first have to pruge the existing arduino sudo apt-get purge arduino ( 1.7MB ) sudo apt-get autoremove ( 107MB )
ok that dir is gone.copy the file from dropbox by WIN PC (250M, SFTP to /home/pi/ at RPI sudo tar xvf -C / arduino-1.6.5-armv6.tar.bz2does not work,
tar: -C: Cannot open: No such file or directory
ok i try cd / sudo tar xvf /home/pi/arduino-1.6.5-armv6.tar.bz2 OK ls /usr/share/arduino
so, now what needs to be installed? i expect need same as with ShorTie version.
last time it took an hour.
but that is supposed to be same? CRImier: For this to work, you have to have following packages:
1) openjdk-7-jre (I guess version 7 work as well, honestly, I have no idea. If it doesn't complain about the executable 'java' missing, then it should be okay.)
2) gcc-avr, avrdude and libusb-dev
3) libastylej-jni
ok just do same again: sudo apt-get install debhelper javahelper default-jdk default-jre libastylej-jni libjssc-java libjna-java libjsch-java libjmdns-java libcommons-logging-java libcommons-httpclient-java libcommons-exec-java ant astyle extra-xdg-menus avr-libc avrdude gcc-avr bossa-cli gcc-arm-none-eabi 740MB 1h
oh, the libusb-dev is missing: try sudo apt-get install libusb-dev ok
now execute it /usr/share/arduino/arduino
error jawa.awt.HeadlessException ( because i try in PUTTY )
try again in desktop terminal: OK
well i expected a compile job, or minimum a installation job... but actually it is just a arduino start via terminal ( as not installed / not in menu ) a kind of basic way to distribute, but right, it runs on RPI B too.
in his post i only saw Okay, I've packaged my version. It's here.
now i can connect arduino UNO... monitor OK
and reboot test: OK
pls see the IDE 1.6.5 i also install the 1.6.5 version on the PC, some real good things happed, see ReleaseNotes
but mainly: the RECENT ( open files ) works now. ( a feature what was/is in processing, but erased when they made the first arduino IDE for unknown reasons) sadly it not runs on the win7 64bit laptopwhat should we do? i not see an answer there??
now even that 1.6.5 copy is a good version i delete it ( still keep the original ZIP ) cd /usr/share/ sudo rm -R arduino
and now i try to compile it / the above TOO MUCH installs should fit / cd /usr/local/src/ its empty ( because i used a "new" JESSIE
get the GIT from CrImier sudo git clone https://github.com/CRImier/Arduino.git about 1.36GiB at 1MiB/s (23min)
checking delta,out files...5min more cd /usr/local/src/Arduino/build/ sudo ant 13min sudo ant run after 4 min BUILD FAILED,
i try again from (remote) desktop instead via putty
and it worked / i see the arduino IDE 1.6.5 window, but where is the program? path? i not find it
try again with "mc" command / file find / "arduino"
from terminal ( desktop) /usr/local/src/Arduino/build/linux/work/arduino
( there is even a install.sh, but i not know how to use.)
but when i use terminal i have the nano /home/pi/.bash_aliases
and i put in one more line alias arduino='/usr/local/src/Arduino/build/linux/work/arduino' [ctrl][o][ctrl][x]
and at next start from terminal on desktop type: arduino arduino IDE 1.6.5 start
connect a arduino UNO, select my project ( its still there on USB stick )
try verify ( and upload / even after restart IDE) and get a error /usr/local/src/Arduino/build/linux/work/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avr-g++ syntax error "(" unexpected,
return 2
error compiling
to recheck i install normal arduino IDE 1.0.5, upload OK,
test again new compiled 1.6.5 ERROR
i want play little bit with the versions.
so first i sudo nano /usr/share/applications/arduino.desktop
change NAME to Arduino IDE 1.0.5
change Exec=arduino to Exec=arduino105
and see that in desktop menu
when i also rename the
sudo mv /usr/share/applications/arduino.desktop /usr/share/applications/arduino105.desktop
it can not be overwritten by a new installation.
add i want free that path, change the directory name, so i can try other version. cd /usr/share/ sudo mv arduino arduino105
change the call cd /usr/bin/ sudo mv arduino arduino105 sudo nano arduino105
change java -jar /user/share/arduino/arduinopc.jar to java -jar /user/share/arduino105/arduinopc.jar
change APPDIR=/usr/share/arduino to APPDIR=/usr/share/arduino105
now it starts from desktop menu,
sketchpath, compile, upload, monitor OK but the entry picture is missing ( just long wait )
here i now do the ShorTie install 1.6.4. again ( see above )
while remove arduino arduino core, librxtx-java ( used by 1.0.5) might be removed / old USB-serial software
here i do also the rename of file and directories and links to 164
now i can copy/unzip again the 1.6.5 ( COPY version / zip style still have from dropbox) cd /
sudo tar xvf /home/pi/arduino-1.6.5-armv6.tar.bz2
here i do also the rename / edit of desktop file to 165
all 3 versions 1.0.5, 1.6.4, 1.6.5 copy run, but the 1.6.5 compile still has the avr-g++ syntax error
but possibly there is a update by CRImier, following Arduino build i try: cd /usr/local/src/Arduino-1.6.5/ sudo git pull say already up to date sudo git update error, not a git command. cd build sudo ant sudo ant run that downloads a new gcc, avrdude ...
IDE 1.6.5 start ok, verify same error.
after new info i try again to compile CRImier version cd /usr/local/src/Arduino-1.6.5/ sudo git pull sudo git reset --hard 6f1bfe1 cd /usr/local/src/Arduino-1.6.5/build/ sudo ant 5min
that must do from desktop terminal window sudo ant run 18min IDE 1.6.5 start OK
still have that same error when i compile a sketch, some talking here imply that instead of raspbian JESSIE there is a wrong avr-g++ for PC installed see hardware/tools/avr/bin/ and must do a
To have the “Compile” and “Upload” functions working, you need to replace all the files in ‘build/linux/work/hardware/tools/avr/bin‘ by their symlinks in /usr/bin. You’ll also want the ‘build/linux/work/hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf‘ to point to ‘/etc/avrdude.conf‘. Here’s an one-liner that you have to execute in the bin directory to make symlinks:
for i in *; do echo $i; rm $i; ln -s /usr/bin/$i $i; done
hmm, but i found a empty ls /usr/local/src/Arduino-1.6.5/hardware/tools/ thats it.
update: 5.7.2015 run same BUILD again with RPI2B, JESSIE SD, build OK, verify/compile sketch: same error,
so its not a problem about the cpu...
[insert_php] text_svg('WHEEZY',70,'#ff0000','#ffee00','#ffeeff','','gradient'); [/insert_php]
more news from CRImier, now his version should run on WHEEZY also ( from dropbox i get arduino-1.6.5-arm_wheezy.tar.xz 38M,
as i have there a Arduino 1.0.1 already running i want to do the rename thing here too. cd /usr/share/applications/ sudo cp arduino.desktop arduino101.desktop sudo nano /usr/share/applications/arduino101.desktop
Name=Arduino IDE 1.0.1
Exec=arduino101 cd /usr/share/ sudo mv arduino arduino101
cd /usr/bin/ sudo cp arduino arduino101 sudo nano arduino101
change 2 times "/usr/share/arduino" to "/usr/share/arduino101"
( ok start from desktop menu )
pls note, this time i copy the file from dropbox to my RPI usb drive first,
but you can just get it with cd /usr/share/ sudo wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/m4pp9stjhsrc0nf/arduino-1.6.5-arm_wheezy.tar.xz
cd / WRONG, this time he pack different cd /usr/share/ sudo tar xvf arduino-1.6.5-arm_wheezy.tar.xz now path correct.
from RPI desktop ( win7 PC RDP ) open terminal, cd /usr/share/arduino-1.6.5 ./arduino
and it starts !UNDER WHEEZY! after a bunch of GtkSettings warnings.
for desktop change : cd /usr/bin/ sudo nano arduino ( the old original now used for 1.6.5 )
change 2 times "/usr/share/arduino" to "/usr/share/arduino-1.6.5"
now both start from desktop, without the intro picture, just a long wait.
now test:
adjust preferences ( sketchbook on RPI USB stick )
connect arduino to RPI,
adjust board ( arduino micro )
adjust port (/dev/ttyACM0 )
compile, upload, monitor OK
update 01/2016
i just installed on a new SD card with JESSIE the actual arduino IDE( 1.8.1 nightly ) following this, just from the Desktop... ( one error msg:
sudo ./install.sh
Adding desktop shortcut, menu item and file associations for Arduino IDE...touch: cannot touch ‘/root/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list’: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/xdg-mime: 781: /usr/bin/xdg-mime: cannot create /root/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list.new: Directory nonexistent
done! )
for getting/updating to the very newest pls use the nightly build.
a big advantage is that you not have to think about version numbers, name and location is always same:
pls prepare a install script ( like in /home/pi/Downloads/ )
by torrent download at 1.3MB/s in 12 min.
