Linux Programming Question
Hello. This question is not about the FRC season so much, rather about if I can program a FRC robot using a linux based computer.
My team uses Eclipse to do most of our programming, and I was wondering if there is any way to use a linux based computer to program. I have been looking at the Asus EEE PC, and I have a linux box at home. Thanks in advance1 |

Re: Linux Programming Question
Well, the mcc18 compiler does not have a native Linux port, but it does run under wine flawlessly. Our team uses linux exclusively for FIRST programming.
For loading the actual program, you have several native options: - rigel (command-line, supports all features of IFI_Loader including master firmware; open source. yes, this is a shameless plug for my own program ). http://lights2dx.net/source/other/rigel-1.0-rc1.tar.bz2- jifi (command-line and GUI I believe, and is Java based. Not open source as far as I know). http://shtylman.com/frc/ - ifi-pictools (does basic read-write, open source) not sure of the link. Any of these will work with regular RS-232 and USB RS-232 serial ports. |

Re: Linux Programming Question
Yes I program using ubuntu with the mcc18 compiler running in wine and I use ifi-pictools to download to the robot.
You can get everything you need here (with the exception of the mcc18 compiler): http://adambots.com/index.php?title=AdamBots-Live rojectsIf you have any questions just click the chat button on our site I'm usually there. |
