 Posted: Wed Jan 04, 2012 6:09 pm Post subject: How to setup an Arduino Uno board in Gentoo |
 |
|
I recently set up Gentoo to work with my new Arduino Uno board, and since I ran into a few quirks I put together a quick how to on how to get things working. I also recommend reading this document, which is very helpful: http://www.arduino.cc/playground/linux/gentoo
Step 1: Install crossdev (which is needed to install gcc-avr) | Code: | | emerge sys-devel/crossdev |
Step 2 (optional): Add USE="cxx -nocxx" to your /etc/make.conf and run an `emerge -DuN world`
Details
When attempting to install gcc-avr I ran into an issue with my USE flags, since I had C++ support disabled globally, which caused an emerge error about having both the "cxx nocxx" and "-cxx -nocxx" USE flags enabled. I believe this is because gcc was built with USE="-cxx", but instead of fiddling around with individual packages I just enabled the USE flags globally.
Add this line to your /etc/make.conf (or just append the USE flags to your USE= line):
| Code: | | USE="$USE cxx -nocxx" |
You will now need to apply the new USE flags to world
Step 3: Install gcc-avr
Step 4: Install arduino frontend. There are two options here:
Step 4a: Install the arduino frontend in the main portage tree: | Code: | echo "dev-embedded/arduino" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo "dev-embedded/arduino java" >> /etc/portage/package.use
emerge arduino |
Step 4b (recommended): Install the latest arduino frontend from the arduino overlay: http://gitorious.org/gentoo-arduino. Use layman or your usual method to add the arduino ebuilds to Gentoo. (I maintain my own personal overlay, so I just downloaded the tarball of the complete overlay and copied the ebuilds to my local overlay.) Once you have added the ebuilds do the following: | Code: |
echo "dev-embedded/arduino java" >> /etc/portage/package.use
echo "dev-embedded/arduino" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo "dev-java/rxtx" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge arduino
emerge -1 rxtx |
Step 5: Install/Update avrdude to version 5.6 or later.
Details
I ran into an error when working in the arduino IDE that read: | Code: | | avrdude: AVR Part "atmega328p" not found. |
The solution is to update to the latest avrdude, which supports the atmega328p chipset.
| Code: | echo "dev-embedded/avrdude" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge -1 avrdude |
Step 6: Edit your arduino boards.txt configuration file to have the correct protocol for accessing the Arduino Uno board.
Details
In the arduino IDE, you will likely want to select the option Tools->Board->Arduino Uno. Initially I had an incorrect board selected, which caused the following error:
| Code: | | avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0xfe |
However, if I chose the correct board (Arduino Uno), I received this error: | Code: | | Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override this check. |
This error was because boards.txt was pointing to an incorrect protocol to communicate with the board. To fix, change the following line in:
/usr/share/arduino-0021/hardware/arduino/boards.txt under the section that starts with "uno.name=Arduino Uno"
Original:
| Code: | | change uno.upload.protocol=stk500 |
New:
| Code: | | uno.upload.protocol=arduino |
Step 7: Fix linker errors
Details
I ran into a couple linker errors when attempting to build code with gcc-avr
Error 1: | Code: | | /usr/libexec/gcc/avr/ld: cannot open linker script file ldscripts/avr5.x: No such file or directory |
Fix 1: | Code: | | ln -s /usr/lib/binutils/avr/2.22/ldscripts /usr/avr/lib/ldscripts |
Error 2: | Code: | | /usr/libexec/gcc/avr/ld: cannot find crtm328p.o: No such file or directory |
Fix 2: | Code: | | ln -s /usr/avr/lib/avr5/crtm328p.o /usr/avr/lib/crtm328p.o |
Step 8: Make sure your kernel is configured correctly.
Details
You will need ftdi_sio & cdc_acm built into your kernel or compiled as modules. I personally have them added as modules. When plugging in the Arduino board, cdc_acm should automatically load, but you will need to have ftdi_sio manually loaded, or the board won't function properly. The following will add ftdi_sio to be loaded at boot (you won't need to do this if it is built directly into your kernel):
| Code: | echo 'modules_2_6="${modules_2_6} ftdi_sio" ' >> /etc/conf.d/modules
modprobe ftdi_sio |
The drivers are located here in `make menuconfig`: | Code: | Device Drivers -> USB support -> USB Serial Converter support -> USB FTDI Single Port Serial Driver
Device Drivers -> USB support -> USB Modem (CDC ACM) support |
Step 9: Add your user to the appropriate groups to access the hardware.
To be added later... I wasn't able to get this working for my user, so I have been using the IDE as root for the time being
Step 10: Plug in the board, configure the arduino IDE and start coding!
You will want to make sure you have the following options selected:
| Code: | Tools->Board->Arduino Uno
Tools->Board->Serial Port->/dev/ttyACM0 |

Hello mikegpitt. On first place, thank for your guide, i will be really lost without it, but i'm really new on gentoo. I was following the guide but i found two issues that did not left run arduino.
for not corrupt your post i decided create a new for me [note: second issue solved]
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6924386.html#6924386
The first is that i only could (after use overlay) use arduino v 0.017 and not the last v 1.0 contained on their web. On the same way installs rxtx v2.1.7.2-r3 being required rxtx-2.2_pre2 (contained in the overlay) or upload code on AMD64 systems. The overlay don't works
and the second is that finalized the steps of your guide, when i run #arduino from console, nothing happen.
Is detailed on my post.
Please, if you could help me a bit, i will be greatful and arduino will be posible for me on linux

Yes, this is the version that is in portage right now, I think... if you use the overlay you can install version 0.0021, but really I don't think there will be much of a difference.

Have you emerged arduino with java support? I believe you need to do that to have the GUI available. I should modify my guide...
| Code: | echo "dev-embedded/arduino java" >> /etc/portage/package.use
emerge arduino |
EDIT: No need to modify the guide, I apparently already added that line in  It still would explain why you aren't seeing the GUI though. |

Oh it was an incompatibility with the latest java virtual machine oracle-jre-bin-1.7 . The solution is install sun-jre-bin-1.6
Now i need to install rxtx-2.2_pre2 or higher to upload code to board with AMD64, but i'm not sure how to do. I'm trying. Salutes |

dev-java/rxtx-2.2_pre2 is packaged with the arduino overlay... It looks like the ebuild has the ~amd64, so I would imagine it should work fine for you. Grab the overlay, add the ebuild to your package.keywords, emerge it, and you should be all set. |

|

at last i could use overlay. After upgrade rxtx and arduino, i had the problem of avrdude: AVR Part "atmega328p" not found. but update arvdude did not bring the solution for me.
I decided repeat the steps od the guide. From the steep 1, and now i have a new and serious problem when i try to compile code with arduino, that did not have before
In file included from /usr/lib/gcc/avr/4.5.3/../../../../avr/include/util/delay.h:44:0,
from /usr/lib/gcc/avr/4.5.3/../../../../avr/include/avr/delay.h:37,
from /usr/share/arduino-0021/hardware/arduino/cores/arduino/wiring_private.h:30,
from /usr/share/arduino-0021/hardware/arduino/cores/arduino/WInterrupts.c:33:
/usr/lib/gcc/avr/4.5.3/../../../../avr/include/math.h:426:15: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘double’
/usr/lib/gcc/avr/4.5.3/../../../../avr/include/math.h:426:15: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘>=’ token
uf, my head explodes, and think that probably i have to format and reinstall all the system makes me tremble. |

Hmm... Well it doesn't seem that you are alone, I see a lot of Google results with a similar error. Here's one page that explains some of what might be happening: http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php?topic=79371.0
Although, I noticed today in my `emerge --sync` that there appears that cross-avr/avr-libc-1.8.0 is now in portage. I'm currently running 1.7.1 on my system. Perhaps when you started again from scratch you went to version 1.8.0, which is causing the error? |

Nice little tutorial. I am about halfway through...having an issue with the Arduino IDE itself. In this case, when I click on a menu, it stays open so long as the mouse button is depressed, and disappears upon release; also, I cannot select anything.
Is this a Java issue? I am using the sun-jre-bin-1.6, and emerged the stable arduino package (arduino-0017) as I am not very familiar with using overlays.
Any advice or known issues similar to this? Thanks in advance. |

I'm also using sun-jre-bin:1.6, and I did have arduino-0017 installed for a bit without this issue. Do you see any debugging output on the command line? If yes, post that here... also it may help to run the command with strace, to get some lower level debugging information.
For overlays, take a look at this guide: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/userguide.xml
The arduino overlays is easy to add, even without layman. Just download the full tarball of the overlay (it's linked to the link I posted in the tutorial), unpack them somewhere on your filesystem, and point to it using the PORTDIR_OVERLAY variable in your make.conf. I have a line like this in my make.conf. I unpacked the arduino overlay files in /usr/local/gentoo-arduino-arduino.
| Code: | | PORTDIR_OVERLAY="$PORTDIR_OVERLAY /usr/local/gentoo-arduino-arduino" |

It might be worth mentioning that I have "dev-embedded/arduino ~amd64" in /etc/portage/package.keywords, and that without the ~amd64 flag the package is masked and cannot be emerged.
Here is the output of "strace arduino &> arduino.log"; the java.io.IOException line towards the bottom and the indented portion that follows popped up after trying to run a program that didn't exist, and everything after that popped up upon quitting the IDE. Also, even though the file menus are unusable, I can use keyboard shortcuts like CTRL+Q to quit or CTRL+O to open a file.

I may look into using the overlay tonight to see if that alleviates the issue. |

Yes, I would look to use the version in the overlay. It seems like this is a pretty common error with 0017, but I'm not sure why it's happening. Some googling suggests that it could have something to do with your preferences.txt... but I think the best option is to use the latest version of the IDE. |

For information, I have created an ebuild and patch files for arduino-1.0 source build. I posted it on the arduino-1.0 enhancement request (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303043), and it is also part of my personal overlay at http://gitorious.org/homeoverlay/homeoverlay. I have tested it with a duemilenove arduino, without any issues. in terms of my current versions of other key programs:
- sys-devel/crossdev-20111221
- cross-avr/gcc-4.5.3-r2
- cross-avr/binutils-2.21.1-r2
- dev-embedded/avrdude-5.5
- cross-avr/avr-libc-1.8.0
I would appreciate any constructive feedback (eg, does it work with other boards)! |

Thanks for sharing your experience setting up your Uno.
Step 2 is not caused by your /etc/make.conf but by crossdev itself https://bugs.gentoo.org/394665
You need to upgrade crossdev to at least crossdev-20111118
| Code: |
echo "=sys-devel/crossdev-20111118" >>/etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge -av crossdev
|
Then proceed to step 3.

wow! this thread is simply great!!
thanks a lot for sharing your experiences, finally no use for windows on my notebook anymore 
i use the xml file with layman, the overlay then is called luksans-arduino. it covers quite everything (except the two ln -s ... commands and the unmasking).

Hello,
I use funtoo linux and thanks for this.
In funtoo or gentoo is very dificult to install avr toolset and arduino, but I did with layman/luksans-arduino
With this I have errors compilation in arduino (sanguino).
| Code: | /home/florin/arduino-0023/hardware/arduino/cores/arduino/HardwareSerial.cpp:145:15: error: attempt to use poisoned "SIG_USART1_RECV"
make: *** [.build/arduino/HardwareSerial.d] Error 1 |
Then I downloaded the arduino-0023 from arduino.cc site and I got (copy) the toolset from wiring (tools directory) http://wiring.org.co/ and I put the toolset in arduino-0023 in hardware folder.
The I modified Sconstruct from http://code.google.com/p/arscons/ with new toolset path and I make compilation without errors.
Now I using arduino (sanguino) with qt-creator |

Got the Arduino Uno working with:
| Code: |
cd /usr/avr/lib
ln -s avr5/crtm328p.o .
ln -s avr5/libc.a .
ln -s avr5/libm.a .
|
So to the Arduino Mege2560
First I got these "error: attempt to use poisoned "SIG_USART1_RECV" errors - after downgrading to cross-avr/avr-libc-1.7.1 these are gone.
and I did:
| Code: |
cd /usr/avr/lib
ln -s avr6/crtm2561.o .
ln -sf avr6/libc.a .
ln -sf avr6/libm.a .
|
Now I get
| Code: |
/usr/libexec/gcc/avr/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/avr/4.5.3/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc
/usr/libexec/gcc/avr/ld: cannot find -lgcc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
|
But /usr/lib/gcc/avr/4.5.3/libgcc.a seems to be the only avr-libgcc I've got - how does this get incompatible?

Got it.
The second patch from https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378387 did it for me.
Now both Arduinos work without any symlinks in /usr/avr/lib/

I've got the Duemilanove 328 board running ok but not my Uno. The Uno device driver exists in /dev as ttyACM0 but not in the menu in the arduino-1.0 software. I'm running ~x86_64 and I've checked I'm in the correct groups. I've also checked with another Uno to prove it wasn't the board at fault.
The strange thing is that dmesg shows the board
[24006.462034] usb 6-2: udev 13, busnum 6, minor = 652
[24006.462037] usb 6-2: New USB device found, idVendor=2341, idProduct=0001

but lsusb just shows a blank line

Bus 006 Device 013: ID 2341:0001
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 413c:3012 Dell Computer Corp. Optical Wheel Mouse
Can anyone tell me if it is the Arduino software at fault or the USB system? I've checked the USB FTDI Single Port Serial Driver and the USB Modem (CDC ACM) support are enabled in the kernel so I don't think the kernel is at fault. I'm using kernel-3.2.9 |

Sorry to bump a relatively old post, just wanted to help out here
| Quote: | Nice little tutorial. I am about halfway through...having an issue with the Arduino IDE itself. In this case, when I click on a menu, it stays open so long as the mouse button is depressed, and disappears upon release; also, I cannot select anything.
Is this a Java issue? I am using the sun-jre-bin-1.6, and emerged the stable arduino package (arduino-0017) as I am not very familiar with using overlays.
Any advice or known issues similar to this? Thanks in advance. |
This was happening for me under xmonad, I fixed it by following the steps here in the XMonad Wiki. Hope it helps some people. Basically you get the WM to tell Java that it's one of the non reparenting WM's they have their small list. |

0017 is really old - I'm using ardunio-0021 from the overlay http://gitorious.org/gentoo-arduino/arduino with sun-jdk-1.6
(Tried the 1.0 from portage some time ago, but this did not upload to my Uno)

| Not sure if you ever figured it out but for anyone wondering about the groups bit. You need to to be part of uucp and tty. You'll also need to make sure /var/lock is writable for the group. |
