AstroEQuploader Linux / Ubuntu problem
« on: August 29, 2017, 22:42:13 »

Hi
First of all, thank you for this great piece of hardware & software !

I'm using linux, but i can't use AstroEQUploader to upload firmware in my arduino.
here is what i get :

Looking at this log, you'll see avrdude is not found :

But everything seems to be there :

Am i missing something ?

I can use Arduino IDE to upload firmware, but it would be nice to do everything with this utility

Thank you for your help
Gilles.

Hi Gilles,

There are several issues with the Linux version that I am trying to solve.

However I've not come across the issue you are having. I wonder if it is because you are using x64 Linux (I've not tried it before on the 64 bit version). I'll try to find a solution when I am back from holiday.

Kind Regards,
Tom.

Ok, thank you for your answer. I'll try to play on other platforms.

Have a good time !

You could try downloading the x64 variant of avrdude and replacing the one that the AstroEQ .deb installed.

I wonder if avrdude exists as apt package ( edit: yes it does https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=avrdude) - if so I'll change the utility to use it as a dependency rather than packaging up. I already did that with the JSSC binaries for exactly this reason but seemingly forgot about avrdude.

yes, i did install avrdude ubuntu package already.
So i've made a symbolinc link to executable, it went further, but avrdude claims a bad avrdude.conf file...

And.... it works !

Thank you

Yeah, they changed the style of the conf file from one version to another so my version may not match the one from that package.

Not such a problem. If I make the config utility search for the avrdude package executable and config files rather than distributing them that should solve that problem nicely. I'll add it to my list of things to do.

You can submit a github issue if you want, I don't mind either way.

Should be fixed now.

I've also added the download link to the AstroEQ downloads page.

Let me know if you still face any problems.

Thank you

It's okay, but there is just a huge log output :
Code: [Select]
(...)
JFW:512 JFWO:0
JFW:512 JFWO:0
JFW:512 JFWO:0
JFW:512 JFWO:0

But avrdude is working, see log attached

Could you try replacing /usr/share/astroequploader/AstroEQUploader.jar with the attached one.

<Note: remove the .txt extension, the forum blocks .jar extensions, so I've appended the .txt>

okay, i have no more this ouput.

I've noticed that after writing firmware, it's freezing during 10/20 seconds before to read EEPROM
(can't clic on "next")
I don't think i had this before.
But everything goes well after.

Thank you
