I have built avr-gcc, avrlibc and avrdude for android based tablets and phones. (avrdude requires a rooted device for most programming adapters but the compile tools will run on a non rooted device).
If their is interest Ill package up the files and write some installation instructions.
I may be working on a android app that can program avr's using usbtinyisp for use on tablets running honeycomb+. |

In Australia that means something no longer working or very badly damaged.  |

Yes, I would be interrested. I recently got an Android tablet and I am now looking into all the ways it could be usefull in a development engineers life. Re. programming devices, using it as a terminal, usb based instrument like oscilloscope etc.

Hope you got an external keyboard for it too - can you imagine trying to type C on any form of tablet? Urrggghh... |

Actually, I'd LOVE to turn my Touchpad tablet (loaded with latest Android) into a wireless build server - I realize it would be slow, but I only really need it for asynchronous testing. That said, I'd need SVN and AVR32 toolchain too, which is probably impossible to target to Android.

Eh? Android = pretty face on Linux. Of course you can get SVN and avr32-gcc for Linux. |

The kernel is the same, the user-space is (allegedly) quite different. It also depends on what modules are available than the others depend on, for example SVN might require cryptographic libraries that might not have ARM builds.

The joy of GPL is that you can just pull the sources and build them. And that applies equally to things like libcrypto/libssl or whatever as it does for the thing you want to actually run.
It's true that to build something like firefox or X therefore involves pulling about 50 different complex source trees and building them (either on the target or a cross compiling host) but I've done both and it is "do-able". These days almost everything builds with ./configure, make, make install. The ./configure step will tell you of any dependency you haven't yet got available. You will end up pulling a lot of libdevXXX this way. |

I truly hate having to build in the source directory.
When something goes wrong, I'd like to be able to clean up the mess by just blowing away a build directory.
Admittedly a lot of them will build in a separate directory,
but few of them say so in the documentation.
IIRC that includes bingo's avr-gcc scripts.
make clean cannot be known to be good enough after something else has already gone wrong. |

| The only android I have is the phone, but I do find it's very handy for some things. Not sure I'd try writing programs on it, though maybe if I plugged a monitor into the hdmi port and a keyboard and mouse to the usb? My netbook sometimes feels a little forgotten. |

After I relealized I had a tablet, decent laptop and a netbook last year I actually gave the latter away, since even I thought it was a bit much. I'm now kicking myself a little since it would have made for a handy build server and unit test machine, but I suppose it's better someone else who couldn't afford a laptop used it.
That said, I'd still want to turn the tablet into a build server if I could...

| I don't think I would grab my tablet for programming or PCB layout soon, even using a bluetooth or usb keyboard. I use two 22inch screens connected to my laptop with some horsepower for that. But for lab bench or in the field work like programming embedded system, do a small bug fix and compiling, running a terminal or the display of some usb connected intrument, I am all in. Just need to find some time to explore these options. |

Can you think of a better excuse for rooting the Asus Transformer I am using right now (other than for running avr-gcc)?
Truly wonderful!

That is pure awesome!!! Loved it.
But I'm facing problem while using avrdude. How do I set the port no.? I followed your readme to the word.
I'm using arduinoISP programmer connected via usb on-the-go cable. And my phone isn't rooted. When I'm omitting -P, I'm getting this error:
app_207@android:/sdcard/avr/blinky $ avrdude -C /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/local/etc/avrdude.conf -p attiny2313 -c avrisp -b 19200 -U flash:w:blinky.hex
avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "/dev/ttyS0": Permission denied
avrdude done. Thank you. |

| I don't know what hardware you're running this on (more than it's a phone), but /dev/ttyS0 is usually attached to a old style serial port with DB9 connector and RS232 levels. That doesn't sound like android to me. If you are using a usb to serial converter they usually come up as /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyACM0 (on "ordinary" Linux systems). If it is the later case use -P /dev/ttyACM0 as argument to avrdude. |

I haven't really used linux before. When I try 'sudo' or 'sudo avrdude', I get this error:

I'm running this on Samsung S3 using an app called Terminal Emulator.

As mentioned above, I'm using ArduinoISP which converts arduino into ISP programmer. The arduino is connected to phone through USB. Under /dev, I have tty0-tty63, ttyGS0-3, ttyS0-3 and ttySAC0-3. They all give permission denied when used with -P(might mean I have root?  ).
Isn't there any way to find out which port a device is connected to? |

Hi I'm new here. I was searching the web for an android programming software for the arduino uno and I found this thread. From reading so far, this seems like what I need. I followed the OP's instructions and installed all the necessaries. I am fairly ok with Atmel C programming but I know nothing about UNIX.
Can someone give me a little push in the right direction as to how to send a sketch to my Arduino Uno board? I am using a Galaxy Note as the USB Host device. |

You will need an Android build of the software called "avrdude" before you can use the Arduino bootloader to upload a new HEX file.

Yes, I have installed the android build avrdude from the link posted above on my phone. I followed the instruction above from the readme file. I have gotten as far as trying to send a test file but I get an error from avrdude saying:
ser_open(): can't open device "unkown". No such file or directory.
Any ideas? |

Anyone know how to use the avrdude on Android? |

| Many if the kernel builds for Android do not support usb->serial adapters natively. Some people have compiled kernels with support or do the support in userland code which is fine if you are writing a terminal program. |

Maybe try:
Code:
cat /proc/tty/drivers
to find the device name?
On my tablet
Code:
u0_a113@android:/ $ cat /proc/tty/drivers
/dev/tty /dev/tty 5 0 system:/dev/tty
/dev/console /dev/console 5 1 system:console
/dev/ptmx /dev/ptmx 5 2 system
/dev/vc/0 /dev/vc/0 4 0 system:vtmaster
rfcomm /dev/rfcomm 216 0-255 serial
g_serial /dev/ttyGS 251 0-3 serial
usbserial /dev/ttyUSB 188 0-253 serial
s3c2410_serial /dev/ttySAC 204 64-67 serial
serial /dev/ttyS 4 64-67 serial
pty_slave /dev/pts 136 0-1048575 pty:slave
pty_master /dev/ptm 128 0-1048575 pty:master
unknown /dev/tty 4 1-63 console
u0_a113@android:/ $
