Installation

Used next development environment

Currently there are three ways to install package

• Install process based on using pip mechanism
• Install process based on build mechanism
• Install process based on setup.py mechanism
• Install process based on docker mechanism

Install using pip

Python is located at pypi.org.

You can install by using pip

#python3
pip3 install gen-avr8

Install using build

Navigate to release page download and extract release archive.

To install gen_avr8 type the following

tar xvzf gen_avr8-x.y.z.tar.gz
cd gen_avr8-x.y.z/
# python3
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python3 get-pip.py 
python3 -m pip install --upgrade setuptools
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install --upgrade build
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 -m build --no-isolation --wheel
pip3 install ./dist/gen_avr8-*-py3-none-any.whl
rm -f get-pip.py
chmod 755 /usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/usr/local/bin/gen_avr8_run.py
ln -s /usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/usr/local/bin/gen_avr8_run.py /usr/local/bin/gen_avr8_run.py

Install using py setup

Navigate to release page download and extract release archive.

To install gen_avr8 locate and run setup.py with arguments

tar xvzf gen_avr8-x.y.z.tar.gz
cd gen_avr8-x.y.z
# python3
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 setup.py install_lib
python3 setup.py install_egg_info

Install using docker

You can use Dockerfile to create image/container.

Dependencies

gen_avr8 tool requires other modules/libraries

• ats-utilities - Python App/Tool/Script Utilities

Usage

Short example of usage gen_avr8 tool

Create workspace directory Blink

mkdir Blink
cd Blink/

Crete AVR8 project files, by using parameters

python gen_avr8_run.py -n Blink -t app

Running build process

cd build/
make all

In case for missing subtool from toolchain, please install the following packages with your favorite package manager

• gcc-avr
• binutils-avr
• gdb-avr
• avr-libc
• avrdude

Install directly from the shell as root user (debian)

apt-get install gcc-avr binutils-avr gdb-avr avr-libc avrdude
