Hello,

I need to send to of my client using a Macintosh a HEX file generated by my PDE project under IDE 22 (I don't want to give him the PDE's source files) but I can't fully figure out how to directly download a HEX file to my arduino mega from my Mac Terminal shell.

If one of you be kind correct me what script command is incorrect below...

Thank you in advance, Albert

Please find a copy of the shell launch and errors.

Do yourself a favor and get CrossPack. It contains everything you'll need for AVR dev in a single package. In addition, you will be able to invoke avrdude just by typing "avrdude." No long paths.
Your actual problem: try doing -c avrisp

baum

selfonlypath · September 11, 2011, 2:18pm

Many thanks Baum,

Your code -c avrisp solved the problem but if you look below, it says to not be able to open my HEX file eventhough it is really there ?

Here is the extract

avrdude: Send: V [56] . [a0] . [0f] . [ff] . [00]   [20] 
avrdude: Recv: . [14] 
avrdude: Recv: . [00] 
avrdude: Recv: . [10] 
avrdude: reading input file "/Documents/TV/TransVerter1/applet/TransVerter1.cpp.hex"
avrdude: can't open input file /Documents/TV/TransVerter1/applet/TransVerter1.cpp.hex: No such file or directory
avrdude: write to file '/Documents/TV/TransVerter1/applet/TransVerter1.cpp.hex' failed

avrdude: Send: V [56] P [50] . [00] . [00] . [00]   [20]

then later at the end, it says

avrdude: safemode read 1, efuse value: 0
avrdude: Send: V [56] P [50] . [08] . [00] . [00]   [20] 
avrdude: Recv: . [14] 
avrdude: Recv: . [00] 
avrdude: Recv: . [10] 
avrdude: safemode read 2, efuse value: 0
avrdude: Send: V [56] P [50] . [08] . [00] . [00]   [20] 
avrdude: Recv: . [14] 
avrdude: Recv: . [00] 
avrdude: Recv: . [10] 
avrdude: safemode read 3, efuse value: 0
avrdude: safemode: efuse reads as 0
avrdude: safemode: Fuses OK
avrdude: Send: Q [51]   [20] 
avrdude: Recv: . [14] 
avrdude: Recv: . [10] 

avrdude done.  Thank you.

Try putting your hex file somewhere else, like the desktop.

Also, try doing stk500v1 instead of avrisp.

selfonlypath · September 11, 2011, 2:43pm

I've tried with sdk500v1 and avrisp, each case the HEX file in desktop... unfortunately it still can't find the file & fails the complete download

system · September 11, 2011, 3:52pm

Try installing avrdude fresh w/ crosspack.

selfonlypath · September 11, 2011, 4:36pm

Ok i'll install & practice but later crosspack for mac but right now, i need to provide my client an easy avrude method to download on his arduino mega my HEX file having in mind he has never done any arduino !

I'm new to all this avrdude, avr,... but wonder if it might not be linked to this isssue http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,24824.0.html

system · September 11, 2011, 6:03pm

I'd try that, seeing as you are using a bootloader. If that doesn't work, you may need to wipe the chip clean and just do a regular upload... the bloader may be causing problems.

baum

selfonlypath · September 11, 2011, 6:34pm

It is getting harder for me to follow you.

OK, I've just downloaded Crosspack per your suggestion, please be kind tell me how I can via Crosspack directly download my HEX file (generated by IDE 17) towards my arduino mega ?

Thank you in advance, Albert

system · September 11, 2011, 6:36pm

Sorry about that...

It looks like you can't use plain old avrdude if you have the bootloader (according to that forum thread you posted). So try the binary given on that thread. If you need a client to do it, then it is probably best NOT to use crosspack... it is a big download.

baum

selfonlypath · September 11, 2011, 6:49pm

Please note that I'm using IDE 17 because it easier to locate the HEX file (applet folder) whereas starting from IDE18, it is really more difficult to locate the HEX file in particular with Snow Leopard OS !

My objective is to send my HEX file to my client who wants a demo of my technology but I don't want give him my source PDE. He has Mac but just bought an arduino mega so I need find an easy process so he does download my HEX file prior I come visit him !

system · September 11, 2011, 8:02pm

Is this any help?
http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Learning/CommandLine

selfonlypath · September 12, 2011, 2:57am

well unless there is so specific to avrdude provided by arduino, I think the problem is maybe related to my MacBook Air running with Snow Leopard... After all, it says it can't open the HEX file which does exists and the other steps of avdrude do work fine. Again hoping someone can help, here is the shell extract

Try:

That's the actual path to your file, I believe.

selfonlypath · September 12, 2011, 3:30am

Hi Emily... This path you suggest does not work either =(

EmilyJane · September 12, 2011, 3:31am

Hi Emily... This path you suggest does not work either =(

You know you can just drag the file from the Finder into your Terminal window and it will automatically write the correct path? Try that.

selfonlypath · September 12, 2011, 3:33am

oups Emily... YES it works... your suggested path works.... MANY THX XD

EmilyJane · September 12, 2011, 3:37am

selfonlypath:

Yay! You're welcome! You don't normally have to include the path to avrdude or the path to avrdude.conf if you want to save yourself some typing.

selfonlypath · September 12, 2011, 3:50am

I've tried to simplify below line as per suggestion but it says a few things: cannot find conf file then it invokes another avrdude that times out so I guess better I keep this longer typing line
