[Tutorial] How to use MRP01 with Arduino IDE in Ubuntu Linux

Following illustrates the steps of using MRP01 with Arduino IDE in Ubuntu Linux:

1. To use MRP01 with Arduino IDE, it is required to update MRP01 with AVRDUDE programming firmware. Following illustrates how to update programming firmware in Ubuntu Linux:
1. Disconnect MRP01 from laptop or desktop
2. Open Terminal
3. Type "sudo apt-get install dfu-programmer" to install dfu programmer.
4. Download the MRP01_AVRDUDE_LUFA20XXXXXX.hex from this link: AVRCIRCUIT MS Skydrive

5. Link the last four pins(Pin3 – Pin6) of ISP output, as follows:

6. Connect MRP01 to laptop or desktop
7. In Terminal window, go to the directory where the hex file downloaded (e.g. if the hex file is downloaded to [Downloads], type "cd Downloads") 
8. Erase the MRP01 by typing "sudo dfu-programmer at90usb162 erase"
9. Upload the AVRDUDE hex file into MRP01 by typing "sudo dfu-programmer at90usb162 flash MRP01_AVRDUDE_20XXXXXX.hex.txt"
10. Reset the MRP01 by typing "sudo dfu-programmer at90usb162 reset"

11. If it is successfully to upload, the following message will be displayed:

12. Disconnect MRP01 from laptop or desktop.

     

2. To use MRP01 with Arduino IDE in Ubuntu Linux:
1. Download and install Arduino IDE following this site: Install Arduino in Ubuntu Linux
2. Connect MRP01 to ICSP pin on Arduino development board
3. Connect MRP01 to laptop or desktop
4. Open Terminal
5. Change to arduino installed directory by typing "cd /usr/share/app-install/desktop"
6. Execute arduino by typing "sudo arduino"
7. Open Arduino script file or select an existing example (e.g. select LED blinking example by clicking [File] > [Example] > [01.Basics] > [Blink])
8. Select target board, e.g. selecting Arduino UNO by clicking [Tools] > [Board] > [Arduino Uno].
9. Select programmer by clicking [Tools] > [Programmer] > [AVRISP mkII].

10. Write this script file into Arduino development board by holding [Shift] keyboard button and clicking  button at Arduino IDE toolbar. The message “Done uploading” will be displayed after the script file is uploaded:
