2. Prerequisites
The free avr-gcc compiler, avr-libc, and other associated tools must be installed before the Pololu AVR library. For Windows users, these tools are made available as the WinAVR distribution. Linux users should install all AVR-related packages available in their distribution’s package manager. In particular, under Ubuntu you will need to install the following packages:
- avr-libc
- gcc-avr
- avra
- binutils-avr
- avrdude (for use with the Pololu Orangutan Programmer)
For Windows users, we also recommend the AVR Studio development environment , which may be downloaded free of charge from Atmel.
To program the Pololu Orangutan or 3pi, we recommend the Pololu Orangutan USB Programmer, but any AVR ISP programmer will work. If you will be using a Pololu programmer, follow the installation instructions to install it on your computer, before continuing with these instructions.
