Hi there. I just got an Udoo x86 Advanced Plus, have installed an OS, but otherwise don't know where to start. I'm a long time Linux user and x86 system builder, but I don't know anything about Arduino or microcontrollers in general. My primary programming language is R, but I can get by in Python. I have Ubuntu installed on my x86 but no IDE or SDK or whatever. Is there some minimal hello world project I can do to convince myself that I can connect to the Curie/Arduino side? Alternatively, is there something simple I could do with the Braswell GPIO pins, like turning an LED on and off? I just want to do anything that I couldn't do on a typical desktop computer. I'd like to get myself oriented so I can do some projects with my nieces and nephews over the Christmas break. thanks, Mark
Take a look at my tutorials https://www.udoo.org/forum/threads/2-tutorials-for-udoo-x86-beginners-in-iot-and-web-control.8001/ There is also a nice Arduino 101 example combined with processing that lets you see a 3D image rotating an tilting when you rotate or tilt your Udoo X86. You can download it from the Arduino 101 site. Edit: see link https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Genuino101CurieIMUOrientationVisualiser Also take a look into the Udoo projects site https://udoo.hackster.io/
Thanks, this is great. I can't get my compiled sketch to upload. Sometimes I get a message that /dev/ttyACM0 can't be touched, other times I get Starting download script... Flashing is taking longer than expected Try pressing MASTER_RESET button An error occurred while uploading the sketch ERROR: Timed out waiting for Arduino 101 on /dev/ttyACM0 I have added myself to the dialout group, experimented with various udev rules, and set the permissions on /dev/tyyACM0 to 777, but nothing has helped so far. I feel like the IDE is at least partially recognizing my Arduino...
I had the same upload issue at first. It has to do with updating the Bluetooth (BLE) driver of the Curie. I got it running by this procedure. After that it uploaded fine. 1. Reboot Udoo. 2. Start Arduino IDE and load blink example 3. Press arduino master reset button 4. Compile and upload arduino sketch.
Thanks. I took a fresh start and installed Windows 10.... hopefully that doesn't have anything to do with my success, because I prefer to go back to Ubuntu. I installed and selected the Arduino 101 board definition, confirmed port COM3, and then followed your suggestions. The IDE confirmed that the BLE firmware was being updated, and then the LED started blinking!
I suppose this is OS independent, now the Curie is up to date so Arduino IDE will also upload from Ubuntu.
