Introduction

Have you ever wanted to use Linux to develop the software used in your robot but haven't known where to start or wanted to take the time to research it?  The goal of this tutorial is provide all of the information in one location that is needed write software targeted at AVR chips using Linux with C and C++.  It will cover the each individual piece of software, how to install it, what it is used for, and how to use it.  Examples with actual code will be provided for each step of the process and will be available for download.

 

This tutorial is not a primer on how to program and asumes you already know how to program but would like to know how to apply that knowledge to programming in Linux.  The distribution of Linux used with this tutorial is Ubuntu 8.04 - the Hardy Heron release.  Although these instructions should work for all distributions of Linux,each distribution is different and you will need to check the documentation for your distribution in the case of problems.
