Title: ARDUINO IDE!
Post by: ikea78 on October 23, 2012, 11:09:53 AM

Does anybody know of a way to run the Arduino IDE on Tiny Core?  I would like to be able to write, compile, and upload sketches to my Arduino under Tiny Core.

Thanks,

Oh, I see... java binaries are not in $PATH. You can add it:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~/arduino-1.0.1$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/openjdk-7/jre/bin
tc@box:~/arduino-1.0.1$ ./arduino

---

Or alternatively you can replace in line 22 of arduino script:

Code: [Select]

java -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel processing.app.Basewith:

Code: [Select]

/usr/local/openjdk-7/jre/bin/java -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel processing.app.Base

Awesome.  Thanks for your help!!

It looks like all I will need then are the USB to Serial drivers - libftdi.tcz and libusb.tcz.

I'll try it this weekend.   Thank you!!

That driver has been in the kernel for a while now. Just install the usb-serial extension.

I now have the Arduino IDE successfully running and able to upload sketches to my Arduino. 

Thanks Curaga and AmatCoder!!
