pyavrutils can build AVR and arduino code from python

Links:

• home: https://github.com/ponty/pyavrutils

• documentation: http://ponty.github.com/pyavrutils

Features:

• python wrapper for avr-gcc, avr-size, arscons

• build files or strings (strings are saved as temp files)

• MCU list

• get code size using avr-size

• avr-gcc default is optimized for size

Known problems:

• Python 3 is not supported

• temp files are not removed

• arscons has some problems:

  • it builds bigger programs

  • compile error in some cases

Possible usage:

• experimenting with flags

• building from paver

• unit tests

• building arduino code without GUI

Basic usage

>>> from pyavrutils import AvrGcc
>>> cc = AvrGcc()
>>> cc.build('int main(){}')
>>> cc.size().program_bytes
66

>>> from pyavrutils import Arduino
>>> cc = Arduino()
>>> cc.mcu = 'atmega8'
>>> cc.build('void setup(){};void loop(){}')
>>> cc.size().program_bytes
1612

Installation

General

• arscons is already included in the library

• install setuptools

• install gcc-avr

• install scons (only for arscons)

• install arduino (only for arscons)

• install the program:

if you have setuptools installed:

# as root
easy_install pyavrutils

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
sudo apt-get install binutils-avr
sudo apt-get install gcc-avr
sudo apt-get install scons
sudo apt-get install arduino
sudo easy_install pyavrutils

Uninstall

using pip:

# as root
pip uninstall pyavrutils
