Re: Setting up AVR tool chain on Solaris

Hi all,

I got it to work. Here is my chain of commands to get avr-gcc and avrdude running on Solaris 10!

Best wishes,

 Andreas


We download http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.24.tar.gz:

	PREFIX=/usr/local/avr
	export PREFIX
	PATH=$PATH:$PREFIX/bin
	export PATH

	cd /usr/src
	mkdir avr
	cd avr
	gunzip binutils-2.24.tar.gz
	gtar xvf binutils-2.24.tar
	cd binutils-2.24
	./configure --target=avr --program-prefix="avr-"  --prefix=$PREFIX
	make
	make install

We download http://gcc.cybermirror.org/releases/gcc-4.2.0/gcc-4.2.0.tar.bz2:

	cd /usr/src/
	gtar xvf mpfr-2.4.0.tar
	cd mpfr-2.4.0
	./configure
	make
	make install

	cd /usr/src/avr
	mkdir avrgcc
	bunzip2 gcc-4.3.3.tar.bz2
	gtar xvf gcc-4.3.3.tar
	cd avrgcc
	../gcc-4.3.3/configure --target=avr --prefix=/usr/local/avr --enable-languages=c --disable-libssp --disable-shared --disable-libada --disable-libssp --disable-nls --with-dwarf2 --with-gmp=/usr/local --with-mpfr=/usr/local --prefix=/usr/local/avr
	make 
	make install 

	pico /etc/default/login
	pico /etc/default/su

	PATH= ...:/usr/local/avr/bin
	SUPATH= ...:/usr/local/avr/bin

Relogin to get the new PATH value.

	which avr-gcc

We download http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/avr-libc/avr-libc-1.8.1.tar.bz2:

	cd /usr/src/avr
	bunzip2 avr-libc-1.8.1.tar.bz2
	gtar xvf avr-libc-1.8.1.tar
	cd avr-libc-1.8.1
	./configure --host=avr
	make
	make install


We get avrdude-5.8 sources and build as follows:
	
	LIBUSB=/usr/sfw
	export CPPFLAGS="-I${LIBUSB}/include"
	export LDFLAGS="-L${LIBUSB}/lib"
	make 
	make install

This installs

	/usr/local/bin/avrdude
	/usr/local/etc/avrdude.conf

We can now do 

	avrdude -c avrispmkII -P usb -p atmega8

and get something like

avrdude: AVR device initialized and ready to accept instructions

Reading | ################################################## | 100% 0.01s

avrdude: Device signature = 0x1e9307

avrdude: safemode: Fuses OK

avrdude done.  Thank you.
