arduino IDE on beagleboard

Hi,
on scap.linuxtogo.org I found a screenshot of someone using the arduino
IDE on a beagleboard:
http://scap.linuxtogo.org/files/422bf4ad3de13dccfd2bcd19253e9ab5.png

If this person is here on this list (or someone else tried this too), I
have a question: Did this work nicely? Could you upload programs to the
arduino and receive stuff through the serial port?

(The background is that this would be a perfect candidate for a
conference demo.)

Regards,
Robert

First you have to fix the included rxtx install:

That works, and if you download and untar:

http://dominion.thruhere.net/koen/angstrom/beagleboard/avr-binutils-2.21.tar.bz2
http://dominion.thruhere.net/koen/angstrom/beagleboard/avr-gcc-4.5.2.tar.bz2
http://dominion.thruhere.net/koen/angstrom/beagleboard/avr-libc-1.7.1.tar.bz2

You can even compile the included examples. I succesfully compiled and
uploaded the serial test app to the
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard_Trainer expansionboard attached to my xM.
I haven't tried using it on a proper arduino board yet, but that uses
the same bootloader as the trainer.

regards,

Koen

Yep, same story as on an amd64 machine. :)

How did you build those? Directly on a BB using gcc? I looked into
making recipes for OE for this
but my toolchain-foo is way to small for this.

Great! Then I think this is going to work without problems!

Thanks for trying this out. So I am going to take a BB/PB to LinuxTag
along with an arduino starterkit ... :)

Robert

I built those natively on my beagle, that was faster than figuring out
canadian cross in OE :)
