general/other Ardunio IDE 2.n

Hi all, any idea how and under which emulation i can get arduino IDE 2.n running under FreeBSD 14.1?
Thanks in advance, Anton

Hi all
As i received no answers or tips, it looked like i better had named it "Arduino IDE 2.n". Reason is i would like to circumvent Windows for my little esp32 Gps project for sailing.
Greetings, Anton
 
You shouldn't need to use emulation. The GCC compiler (targeting AVR), flasher (avrdude) can be compiled and run on FreeBSD so you can just use it with any text editor and command line.

I *think* the IDE itself is ported but I am not sure what the package is called. Have a look through the arduino ports here:

https://ports.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=arduino&stype=all&sektion=all

I believe arduino18 is the latest but I am not too familiar with the arduino ecosystem.
 
Hi, Thanks for answer. i tried arduino 1.8, but for my needs 2.3, using hardware like m2stack (first steps), is easier to integrate and work with. hoped i could throw out windows from my disk...

Ah right, apologies, you had mentioned in your original post.

So unless you want to try to update the port (maybe contact the 1.8 maintainer), you might be left with two slightly lame options:
  • Linux emulation
  • Windows emulation (Wine)
Luckily, you can probably use the native FreeBSD avrdude to upload the binary/hex to the Arduino device. This would have been a little tricky with the emulation layers (though possible with some fiddling I imagine since serial is relatively simple).
