Woo Hoo, I just compiled TinyG2v9k (my board is a v9k)… However I do not have an Atmel Sam-Ice Programmer ($109), so I will have to figure out the command line install method. Linux here I come for now (I guess)

Am I correct that one has to install Gyazo to view this screenplay?

I would not invest in Atmel ICE yet, at least until you really understand what I experienced in this thread https://github.com/synthetos/g2/issues/86

And Riley does his thing, Atmel ICE did work, but bossa was a whole lot simpler once I was doing it correctly.

nope, just click the link and it will take you to a full screen version of that image. Its just screen capture of still images with a single click. Press prt sc and a cross hair pops up. Drag it over what you want to save as an image and release. This will case a scree cap image to be taken then uploaded to Gyazo.com (account or not), copy the link and share screen cap images with 2 clicks. I really like it.

Do you not see a screen cap of the Atmel Studio?

@Thomas_Shue You don’t need a Atmel SAM-ICE to program G2. In fact you only need a debugger if you are debugging.

You really only need a $49 Atmel-ICE Basic for full programming AND debugging: http://store.atmel.com/PartDetail.aspx?q=p:10500377#tc:description

For just flashing firmware you don’t need any special hardware at all.

All of the links to the various means of complining, loading, and debugging are linked to from the Getting Start with G@ wiki page: https://github.com/synthetos/g2/wiki/Getting-Started-with-G2

Please let me know if there’s any omissions or questions.

@Rob_Giseburt which debugger should I buy?

Ah, I see my link is dead.

Here: http://www.atmel.com/tools/atatmel-ice.aspx#buy

The Atmel-ICE Basic kit includes the cable you need. You can be a little cheaper and just get the PCB (no case) for ~$35 but you also need the ribbon cable which costs ~$15 so you only save $5 and don’t get a protective case.

If you already have an Atmel SAM-ICE or Segger J-Link those will work too. They’re generally more expensive, so I wouldn’t buy one now, but they’re useful if you have one laying around…

@Thomas_Shue
You can use a 2.50$ usbasp with patched firmware.I programmed my DIY TinyG board exactly with that.
