Arduino IDE under OSX doesn't start up

Hi,

I've downloaded and extracted the custom Arduino IDE from http://udoo.org/download/files/arduino- ... DOO.tar.gz

I've downloaded and installed the latest Java JDK (jdk-7u45-macosx-x64.dmg) from Oracle.

If I execute the "arduino" file, I get an error message (readlink: illegal option -- f) but the GUI doesn't start up.

This is what I tried:

./arduino -f examples/01.Basics/BareMinimum/BareMinimum.ino
readlink: illegal option -- f
usage: readlink [-n] [file ...]

I haven't received my UDOO yet, so there is no UDOO connected yet. Might this be the reason? If not, has anyone any idea how to start up the arduino IDE?

Thank you very much in advance and kind regards,
Sven

 

That is the Arduino IDE that is meant to run from the UDOO form within the LInux/Ubuntu OS.

From your desktop you should be able to connect to the UDOO as an Arduino Due following the directions in the 'getting started guide"
http://udoo.org/download/files/Document ... 0_2013.pdf
Section 4.2 Page 23

You should do this with the official IDE, v 1.5.2 or higher (the one that added support for the Arduino Due)
then just add the patch "Arduino IDE Patch" from http://www.udoo.org/downloads/#tab4

 

Works Thank you very much for the clarification.
