Arsh upload error - "programmer not responding

Hi everyone,

I recently have received a Seeeduino board (my first one :)) from my boss to mess around with at work (so far its amazing what you can do with it!). Now he wants me to try to get a shell up and running on it so I can interact with the board through the command line. So I went to google and found a shell called Arsh that should work fine for what I want to do.

However when I get to the step that tells me to type "make upload" (to upload the shell to the board), this pops up:

make upload
/usr/bin/avrdude -F -p atmega168 -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -c stk500v1 -b 19200 -U flash:w:arsh.hex
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
make: *** [upload] Error 1

Right before I am supposed to type "make upload" I am supposed to edit 5 variables in the Makefile to fit the board I am using. Here they are:

PORT = /dev/ttyUSB0
UPLOAD_RATE = 19200
AVRDUDE_PROGRAMMER = stk500v1
MCU = atmega168
F_CPU = 16000000

Now I know the port is right, and I assume everything else is fine because the Seeeduino is ATmega168 but Im not sure if I need to edit anything else.

Now I have no experience with Arduino boards/AVR at all before a few days ago. So I have no idea what is going on in this error. But does anyone know what could be causing this (and possible how to fix it)?

Thank you very much (and sorry if this is the wrong board, Im not really sure where this would belong).

oh yeah, here is the site for Arsh: http://biot.com/arsh/

bump

anyone have any experience using arsh?

Hi bump!
I suggest you check out

It works and comes with a much better documentation.
Development got stuck at 1.0 RC2 but I didn't encouter any bugs on my Arduino Mega.
