Testing and prototyping on the Atmel AVR XMEGA-A3BU Xplained board

Primary LanguageC

Atmel XMega A3BU Xplained

Experimentations against the XMega Xplained board.

Requirements

On OSX, install the AVR compiler toolchain and a DFU programmer:

$ xcode-select --install
$ brew tap osx-cross/avr
$ brew install avr-gcc
$ brew install dfu-programmer

Programming

Compile the project:

$ cd gcc
gcc $ make
...
Finished building target: firmware.elf
"avr-objcopy" -O binary "firmware.elf" "firmware.bin"
"avr-objcopy" -O ihex -R .eeprom -R .fuse -R .lock -R .signature -R .user_signatures \
        "firmware.elf" "firmware.hex"
"avr-objcopy" -j .eeprom --set-section-flags=.eeprom=alloc,load --change-section-lma \
        .eeprom=0 --no-change-warnings -O binary "firmware.elf" \
        "firmware.eep" || exit 0

This produces:

gcc $ ls -l firmware.*

Connect the board over USB and flash it through the bootloader:

gcc $ make dfu
