Development on Linux or Mac

simon15 · March 4, 2020, 3:15am

I was very disappointed to find that all the development environments for the Rephone seem to require a Windows machine to run on - is this really the case - does it really require a custom Windows only version of the Arduino IDE - I got rid of my last windows machine years ago, and don’t remember anything from the campaign mentioning the restriction.

What the **** !
This is about as backward as any decision can be…

Few real developers use Windows for anything other than Windows apps…

Now I need to buy a cheap WinBlows Box? Not likely!

Seeeed provide a real developers kit that works for real developers SOON (yesterday)!

Yes, very disappointing…

Even the so-called “open source” code repository on github contains Win-binaries instead of true source code. Else, someone on Linux or Mac OS X could re-build and produce compatible tools.

Advertising RePhone as open source is NOT a good policy. Seeed needs to remedy this!

same here. Received my kit and found out that all docs are for windows. How to update the rephone on mac for example? MediaTek only offers windows software and drivers. All wiki articles are based on windows.

What is your plan going to be to support mac and other platforms? You haven’t advertised the rephone as a windows device on your kickstarter campaign.

Hi, it seems there is a LinkitOne SDK for Mac available here. Search for “LinkIt one SDK mac” in google, since the forum doesn’t allow me to post direct URLs for now.

LinkItOne and LinkItAssist seem to be basically the same SOC (MT2502) the only difference being the components included.

I’d have a look at it trying to reproduce the commands issued by the eclipse plugin on Windows. However it would be better if we could get an officially supported SDK.

I use Ubuntu 15.10. In general i can compile the project, i used the repo on github Seeed-Studio/CodeLite_for_RePhone to get a makefile (i cannot post links "-_-) .
There is a dependency to gcc-arm-eabi-none, and the sdk is platform-indipendent (at lest for the compilation process)

The problem i am experiencing is that the gsm module does not shows as a usb device. it seems that the kernel does something, as dmesg shows

so it’s probably something to do with udev rules…

update: following this bug report bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=686840 i can now mount the core module as a folder, to copy inside the .vxp files.

it’s a hack, while we wait for a proper fix (from Xadow and from the distro manteiner)

basically, you have to comment out the line

ATTRS{idVendor}=="0e8d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0002", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'"

in /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules,
execute as admin update-initramfs -u and reboot.

Hello all,

i do some test for a toolchain under linux

You will find it on github

Search on github for LinkIt_Assist_2502

Any help is welcome

Hi,

For those interested in programming with the Arduino IDE under GNU/Linux, I can provide the IDE binaries (including ARM toolchain and working examples) and a helper script (in python) for the “upload” to be able to program with Arduino under GNU/Linux variants (I’ve tested F23 and Ubuntu 12.04).

Regards,
Roberto.

@robarago, And is it possible to just get examples and helper python script (although, depends on what exactly it doing) fo ones do not want arduino ide, but want to use any custom ide?

Hi,

I’m also working on Mac OS X(lion) and waiting for an easy way to dev on this platform.
I get some Raspberry too, the A, the B, the B+ and the 2.

I finally get a working sim this morning (rife on Reunion Island for the records) and started asking myself how can I make this open phone a personal phone?
The question and ideas come easy, but the solutions sounded a little bit more complicated.
So Robarago how can I get your IDE and will it works on Raspbian?
And devs please think different… Or a least open…

Thank you for opening the phone to the world.

robarago · March 4, 2020, 3:15am

Hi,

Please, try Stefan Mandl approach for both problems.
He provided a nice upload tool and simple instructions on how to get started with a basic cross toolchain. He even provides an example Makefile for those not wanting to use the Arduino IDE.

Regards,
Roberto.

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion. With some tweak on the makefile about the TOOLCHAIN path and the INCLUDE it could be easy to do great stuff.

Just have to learn C… Back to school again.

Hope seeing some great open source project soon.

Keep innovating in a world where anything is still to be done.

dk45 · March 4, 2020, 3:16am

Seeed,
Please, please, please make this a priority!!! I don’t know any developer or maker that uses windows. Can you give a timeframe for when we can use Mac or Linux as dev environment?

Did you see the good new?

Hi, any news about development on linux?

jared · March 4, 2020, 3:16am

Thanks to @robarago for this Rephone Arduino IDE for linux https://github.com/robarago/ArduinoGNULinux4RePhone. It works great.
