Re: [uracoli-devel] some progress with RFA1 Arduino stuff

Hi everybody,

good news today.

I got the MacOSX (10.6.4) version of the Arduino IDE to run RadioFaro.

The Arduino guys use an old CrossPack build of the avr toolchain. It 
happens to be the same thing as WinAVR, which includes a lot of patches 
for new devices (thanks to Joerg I think).

Here's what I did :
- download and install the last CrossPack 
(http://www.obdev.at/products/crosspack/download.html)
- copy the /usr/local/CrossPack-AVR-20100115/ directory over the 
Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/avr
- uncompress the uracoli-cvs20101023-arduino.zip archive in 
Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/
- run the Arduino IDE, select Funkomat, build something, upload
- have a beer.

Note I built uracoli-arduino on linux, not on the mac.

As a off-topic bonus, since I first tried to compile the avr toolchain 
from scratch, I can say the build script found in avrfreaks for Linux 
almost works in MacOSX. I can also say I really don't like Macs :)

See you,
