ARM on linux

Tryphon · Post by **Tryphon** » Sun Jul 01, 2007 7:19 pm

Good morning,

I have bought the C for ARM kit and it works fine under windows, but I work mainly under linux. That's why I search programs to develop under linux. I have seen that the software that we provides are made under linux at the origin. And I have naturely fund the compiler tools to compile my code into hex/bin files.
But I don't find a script/software to replace your mLoader.exe that upload the binary file into the ARM through the USB interface. Could your give me the similar script or indicate the complete web address where I find it.

Thanks, and best regards.

Hello,

The mLoader program currently only works under Windows. You might want to try Wine to see if that emulator allows it to work under Linux.

Hello Tryphon,

I'll have a look and if it is easy to port it to Linux, I will.

Hello Tryphon,

I've looked into this and I'm sorry but it is going to be too difficult.

The main problem is that the mLoader application relies on a USB driver file from Atmel (atm6124.sys). They do not supply an equivalent driver for Linux systems and they do not provide the source code for this driver file.

Without this file it would be a very big undertaking because the whole PC side of the USB software would need to be rewritten from scratch.
