The Homebrew repository doesn’t has the avr-gdb formulae yet. The second steps takes a little while to install everything, so go get yourself some tea in the meantime. This will pull avr-binutils and avr-gcc along with it as well. Then install the latest version of avr-libc (version 4.9.2 at the time of writing): Install it by typing (or pasting) the following in terminal: Homebrew is the new super-awesome package manager for Mac OS X. This step is not required for Linux users since almost all Linux distribution comes with a package manager. And trust me, they are pretty straightforward.īusy and just want to get s#!t done? Read the summary! Step 1: Install Homebrew (Mac OS X only) However if you really want to learn how to set up a cross-compiler, write Makefiles and use command line tools to get things done, I highly recommend doing the following steps.
I might go over it sometime in future though. If you are using a Mac and want to save the trouble of going through these steps, simply install CrossPack for AVR Development and follow the instructions in the manual.
In this post I will show how to install the avr-gcc toolchain and avrdude on Mac OS X and Linux. The avr-gcc toolchain supports Unix based OS like Linux and Mac OS X inherently. This doesn’t mean that Mac and Linux users are at any unfair advantage. Windows users have been enjoying various awesome tools to help with their AVR development process like the Atmel Studio, Codevision AVR, WinAVR, IAR Embedded Workbench, etc.
