[Reply #15 on:]

my uno r3 stopped responding after setting the baudrate to 14400 and started to create a new serial (/dev/ttyACM*) port with each reset.

Last time I looked (about 3 years ago when Teensy started and all Arduino boards were still FTDI), multiple software issues all combined in a terrible way.


1: Linux cdc_acm driver didn't support 14400 and 28800 baud settings.

2: The RXTX library behaves badly when an unsupported baud rate setting is configured.

3: Arduino remembers and applies the old setting before giving you the serial monitor window, and won't accept a new setting after RXTX starts misbehaving.


The net result was choosing either of these baud rates made the board forever inaccessible.  The only way to fix it was editing the prefs file to change back to a supported baud rate.

One of the many patches Teensyduino installs is a tiny bit of code which silently turns 14400 into 19200 and 28800 into 38400 if Linux is in use, and a Teensy board is selected.  I'd pretty much forgotten about this little problem until now....

Hopefully this explanation helps?

hi there.

have some issue with flashing my mega 2560 R3

this is what i did so far:

http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,99902.0.html

following @dhunts suggestion

".......


Ah yes, dfu-programmer 0.5.4 does not know about the atmega16u2 and the developers don't seem to have updated it yet.

Download the dfu-programmer source from http://sourceforge.net/projects/dfu-programmer/files, apply the attached patch and build your own:
Code:
tar xzf ~/Downloads/dfu-programmer-0.5.4.tar.gz
cd dfu-programmer-0.5.4
patch -p0 < ~/Downloads/atmega16u2.diff

# Make sure you have the tools needed to build it
sudo apt-get install build-essential libusb-1.0-0-dev

# configure and build it
./bootstrap.sh
./configure
make

# install it

.........."

i get this results


Claudio-Battistas-MacBook-Pro:dfu-programmer-0.5.4 claudiobattista$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libusb-1.0-0-dev
Password:
sudo: apt-get: command not found

what am i missing here?

[Reply #17 on:]

apt-get is a debian package management tool, so if you're not running a debian-based destroy (like Ubuntu) you'll have to use whatever package manager comes with your distro instead. There should also be a GUI interface tat you can use instead of the command line.

Hi Claudio,

We have managed to get the Chronome firmware to install using Mac OS X 10.6 by doing roughly the following:

Install autoconf tools via macports:

Code:

sudo port install pkgconfig automake

Install libusb development packages:

Code:

sudo port install libusb-devel

and maybe before that
 

Code:

sudo port uninstall libusb

if you have the trouble installing that you did earier.

 installing dfu-programmer from source whilst utilising dhunt's patch:

Code:

tar xzf ~/Downloads/dfu-programmer-0.5.4.tar.gz
cd dfu-programmer-0.5.4
patch -p0 < ~/Downloads/atmega16u2.diff

# configure and build it
./bootstrap.sh
./configure
make

# install it
sudo make install

now you don't need to run dfd-programmer yourself doing the build of arduino-usbserial will do that for you later but first you need to tweak its makefile so it's looking for your more modern board by editing the following lines in it:

Code:

MCU_AVRDUDE = at90usb82                                                       
MCU_DFU = at90usb82                                                           

such that they look like:

Code:

MCU_AVRDUDE = atmega16u2
MCU_DFU = atmega16u2

and now short the pads to put the arduino in dfu mode and do

Code:

sudo make dfu

it should install this time, then install the chronome sw on to it, get serialosc going and you can get on with testing your hardware!

that's probably a fairly hacky way of doing things but it got us going!

[Reply #19 on:]

hi tristan.

can´t wait to get home to try this out....
will let you know....
thanks in the meanwhile.

so exited.... 

[Reply #20 on:]

no luck sofar     

still get this error when typing  ./configure

...configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.

same when i try to instal chronome serialosc. even when trying to instal libconfuse....

thanks.

i´m running out of ideas.

seems my mainproblem is, this error:

configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.


it just WON´T let me ./configure



 

[Reply #22 on:]

@triss

it´s working like a charm now. the problem was some funny issue with my root permission which didn´t allow me to do some commands in terminal... jus had a little jam with pages and ableton.... 

thanks a ton

You should see this in the list of options:

        atmega32u6
        atmega32u4
        atmega32u2
        atmega16u4
        atmega8u2
        atmega16u2  <----- the new target added by the patch

So you're running un-patched dfu-progammer. Either the patch wasn't applied, dfu-programmer didn't build, it's installed in a different location to the existing dfu-programmer executable, or the new dfu-programmer has not been installed. 

Try running it directly from your build directory: dfu-programmer-0.5.4/src/dfu-programmer.

Also you shouldn't need to use sudo to run it.

Hi
would someone tell me how to implement this code  in ubuntu

Code:

tar xzf ~/Downloads/dfu-programmer-0.5.4.tar.gz
cd dfu-programmer-0.5.4
patch -p0 < ~/Downloads/atmega16u2.diff

# Make sure you have the tools needed to build it
sudo apt-get install build-essential libusb-1.0-0-dev

# configure and build it

Hi there I am trying to do this process for my Arduino Mega 2560 R3. I can get to the patch -p0 < ~/downloads/atmega16u2.diff but thats as far as I get. In terminal I get this message

mr-mojo-risins-imac:dfu-programmer-0.5.4 jbran$ patch -p0 < ~/downloads/atmega16u2.diff
-bash: /Users/jbran/downloads/atmega16u2.diff: No such file or directory

Do I need to download the atmega16u2.diff from somewhere?
