[avr-gcc-list] Getting started with Arduino on Solaris

[Andreas Höschler]

Hi all,

I have purchased

       • Arduino Duemilanove 2009 (ATmega328) USB
       • Arduino Ethernet Shield Addon RJ45

boards and got the gcc tool chain (avr-gcc, avrdude,...) installed on 
my Solaris 10 machine. I have written a first program

#define F_CPU 16000000UL  /* 16 MHz CPU clock */
#include <util/delay.h>
#include <avr/io.h>
int main (void)
{
        DDRC = _BV (PC0);               /* PC0 is digital output */
        while (1)                       /* loop forever */
        {
                /* set PC0 on PORTC (digital high) and delay for 500mS 
*/
                PORTC &= ~_BV(PC0);
                _delay_ms(500);
                /*  PC0 on PORTC (digital 0) and delay for 500mS */
                PORTC |= _BV(PC0);
                _delay_ms(500);
        }
        return (0);
}

and built that with

        avr-gcc -mmcu=atmega328p -Wall -o toggle_led.elf toggle_led.c
        avr-objcopy -j .text -O ihex toggle_led.elf toggle_led.hex

I now want to transfer this program to the board. Here I get lost! What 
do I need for that? I have a Sun Ray on my desk which has a serial port 
and a USB port. The Arduino Duemilanove has an USB port. Can I just 
connect the Sun Ray and the Arduino board with an USB cable and then 
use avrdude to transfer the file into the ship? If yes, how? If not, 
what else do I need? I googled and found AvrUsb500, STK500 and USBprog 
being mentioned over and over, but I am not sure yet what exactly these 
things are and whether I need them in my case (Solaris 10 environment). 
I was bale to transfer a sketch with Arduino.app from my Mac to the 
Arduino board, but I wantto use the gcc tool chain on the Solaris 
machine instead. I am not sure when to transfer the software via the 
USB connector and when to use the SPI contacts and how. I know these 
are a bloody newbie questions. Thanks a lot in advance for any 
hints/URLs/...

Thanks,

   Andreas
