Using my ISP Programmer from the Arduino plugin? [message #1767518]

Hi,

I am running the C/C++ IDE (Oxygen) with both the Arduino and AVR plugins installed.
I have only been able to create an Arduino Project (Project Explorer | New | Project | Arduino) OR an AVR project (Project Explorer | New | C (or C++) Project | AVR Cross Project Application).

Neither of which will allow me to (easily) create an Arduino program and write it to my ATMega328 via my Olimex AVRISP Mk2 programmer. Currently, I have to build my Arduino project, then drop into a command shell and AVRDude my .hex file to the CPU.

There must be a more elegant way? What about the "Connections" Tab. Is that a possible route? I don't see any USB port options in the New Connection Wizard?

Regards, Martin

The quick answer is, no, there is no elegant way. I'm not even sure there's a complicated way.

The AVR plug-ins are done by someone else. They aren't part of the CDT so I have no idea how they work.

There are some programmers available to the Arduino CDT plug-ins but I don't think I have them really hooked up anywhere.

Since I don't have such things, I would need someone who has such hardware to contribute to making them work.

Hi Doug,

Thank you for the quick reply. Okay, I'll quit trying. Its not the end of the world.

You can create an external tool run (run button with briefcase) for AVRDude. Click the triangle right of the button and set up the working directory and parameters for it.

I'm using it for Cortex OpenOCD:
Name: OpenOCD
Working directory: ${project_loc}
Arguments: -f ${project_loc}/openocd.cfg

The location macros can be easily accessed using the 'Variables' button.
