[C.CC USERS] Problems transfering firmware to arduino

[afromm]

Thank you for your quick replay!

Sending a !!!? and resetting the board doesn't give me back anything. 
The serial monitor remains empty :-( Could that be an m8u2 issue too?

To your other question: Yes, I run jEdit in the chroot environment and 
just tried to upload the frimware. The verbose output reads:

Uploading Plumbing firmware
Device id: arduinomega
Using config: /usr/share/tvm-avr/conf/arduinomega.conf
Command: [/usr/bin/avrdude, -C, /etc/avrdude.conf, -U, 
flash:w:/usr/share/tvm-avr/firmware/tvm-avr-atmega1280-16000000.hex:i, 
-F, -P, /dev/ttyACM0, -c, arduino, -p, m1280, -b, 57600]
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

I started to read a bit about the matter and found out, that the arduino 
profile configured in  the jedit seems to be the one for the mega1280.

So I tried the following from command-line:

# avrdude -C /etc/avrdude.conf -U 
flash:w:/usr/share/tvm-avr/firmware/tvm-avr-atmega1280-16000000.hex:i /
             -P /dev/ttyACM0 -c avrisp2 -p m2560

and was successful!!

What I don't got to work is to upload it from jEdit. I tried to modify 
/usr/share/tvm-avr/conf/arduinomega.conf accordingly:
TVM_MCU=m2560
and
TVM_AVRDUDE_*_FLAGS="... -c avrisp2"

The change in TVM_MCU was taken into account in the jEdit upload 
command, but the change in the FLAGS weren't, so the upload didn't work.


The next step was to try the heartbeat-program. The Problem now was, 
that the build-chain seems not to support the TVM_MCU=m2560 setting. 
After setting it back to m1280 the compilation run through, but I 
couldn't upload the compiled program to the arduino, as I don't know the 
command line to do it (I'm pretty new to all of the arduino stuff).

To get the compilation done with the TVM_MCU=m2560 I set the following 
Symlinks
tvm-avr/include/arch/m2560 -> m1280
tvm-avr/include/arch/arduinomega2560 -> arduinomega

and changed the plattfrom in arduinomega.conf.

Now I think I'm getting my source compiled as m1280 code, but who cares! 
I just can't upload the program because of the programmer setting, which 
is not red from the TVM_AVRDUDE_*_FLAGS in the conf-file.


Best regards,

Andreas
