Asuro software for Linux

Flashing your asuro

The software (EEPROM Flasher, AVR cross compiler) all comes in RPM format. This is great if you use Red Hat, SUSE or Mandriva, but not for the rest of us. However, I converted the packages to my standard .deb format with Alien and it worked perfectly.

The software I'm using:

• Jed - Programmer's editor based on Emacs. Don't let this put you off though!


• GCC-AVR Cross compiler from the Asuro CD


• Python 2.4 - This is on the PC side for data capture and analysis.


• Pyserial package for serial comms in Python


• GDChart package to generate graphs for visual representation of the data

I'll post a couple of Python data capture programs soon.
