Here at this point we have done with installing software components, now let’s configure Eclipse for AVR MCUs. Go to Ubuntu Software Center –> search for Eclipse (Eclipse Integrated Development Environment) –> Install Open Terminal –> sudo apt-get install gcc-avr avr-libc binutils-avr avrdudeĪfter running command on terminal we would get installed all libraries and packages required for Eclipse to work under Ubuntu Linux. Next step is to install Eclipse C/C++ CDT and eXtreme burner (which load hex file to AVR microcontroller).

We have to manually install these packages from terminal by running following command:

avrdude (basic package that transfer you.Procedure remains the same with other distributions of Linux and Mac PCs.ĭownloading and Installing Eclipse & Plug-InsĪll we need is to install these two software’s:īefore we install Eclipse C/C++ CDT, on LINUX it is necessary to install the packages however it’s not much different. This entire process tested with Ubuntu distribution of Linux. In this tutorial we’ll going to setup Eclipse under Linux for AVR Microcontrollers. These features make eclipse, programmers preferred choice to develop software for microcontrollers. You can use Eclipse to develop software for Arduino, AVR, and ARM. So in this lesson, we’ll learn how to setup eclipse under linux for AVR MicrocontrollersĮclipse IDE is very efficient and provides great features for code reuse along with advance functions such as refactoring and code analysis.

Eclipse is free IDE and you will be able to work easier and with range of tools inside the same program. Eclipse has several advantages over Atmel’s provided tools.

But same time moving to an Eclipse IDE (Integrated Development Environment) could be logical step. Programming AVR is easy with Atmel Studio.
