Deviot cant find 'port' of Trinket 5v (atTiny85) on Ubuntu

[peteyWheatstraw]

Hey all,

Im trying to run deviot, in sublime text, on an ubuntu machine, in order to program an adafruit trinket 5v ( atTiny85).

I've selected, trinket 5v from the board menu, and have selected usbTinyISP as the programmer, I press the button on the trinket, so it can 'accept code', and when i go to upload the sketch, deviot doesn't list the trinket in available ports.

With this particular device, running on linux, i know there can be issues. i've followed the guide posted by the manufacturer, and have gotten the trinket to upload code using the arduino ide program, so i know that the device does work.

again, in a nutshell, sublime text 3 - deviot - attempting to upload sketches into an adafruit tirnket 5v ( attiny85) device is not listed in available ports.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

-Pete

Please follow this steps:

1. Connect your device.
2. Go to Deviot > Devices

It will show you a list with the available devices, if your device isn't in that list go to View > Show console and paste the output here.

hey gepd, thanks for the reply.

so I loaded up deviot, and went to Deviot -> Devices, and my device isn't listed. I tried when the device was running on usb, and then i tried it when the device was in 'accept code' mode. no entry for the device was shown in either case.

*EDIT - when i plug in an arduino uno, the device does show up on the devices list (as ttyACM0 )

So as per your request, I went to View -> Show console, and have pasted the resultant text at the end of this comment. There is nothing shown in the console that 'stands out' but perhaps a more informed person can tell where the error lies.

I appreciate your time in helping me.

What is your current O.S?

[peteyWheatstraw]

Hey Gepd,

So my setup is probably pretty unique.

Im running a Asus C302 - Chrome O.S. - Version 67.0.3396.99 (Official Build) (64-bit) - Then Im running, through Crouton -> Ubuntu 16.04 L.T.S.

Its definitely an unique environment, so bothering to fully trouble shoot this problem is probably not worth it. But I appreciate your response and your work Gepd.

Hey Pete, yes it's a very unique setup. At this moment I'm rewriting the setup script, but as soon as I finish it I'd like to help you with this, it may only need an update to the serial driver. I'll back with instructions to debug the problem

[peteyWheatstraw]

Hey Gepd. No worries. It's really not a huge deal, just an odd thing.

after more digging, these trinkets are from the initial release (2014) so perhaps the bootloader that comes with them might be out of date, or something.

In the meantime, i've ordered some attiny85 's, so when they come in, i'll test those to see if the problem is attiny85 related, or just this particular product.

Again, thanks for you work and response,

-Pete

ps - just tried an nano on deviot - and it worked flawlessly.
