Program UDOO’s Arduino Processor from external PC

If you wish to program the Arduino-compatible side of UDOO from your Pc, Mac or Linux computer,

just follow these easy steps to get started.
First of all, check that these requirements are met:

  • A working SD Card should be present on UDOO
  • J18 jumper should be unplugged. This will allow the communication between your computer and the programming port of the SAM3X

  • The Micro USB cable should be plugged in the Sam3x port, not the one you would normally use for serial USB connection
    board_usb-01

If all the requirements above are met, you’re ready to start. What we will basically do is configure the standard Arduino-IDE in order to make it communicate to the Sam3x of UDOO, which is the Arduino-compatible micro-controller.

To do so:

  • Download and install the Arduino IDE version 1.5 for your specific operating system from the official website (other versions will not work, since UDOO needs Arduino 2 compabile programming software)
  • Download the patch for your Operating system here
  • Extract the files in the archive and place them in the following paths, overwriting the previous existing files:
    In Windows 32 bit:
    C:\Program Files\Arduino\hardware\tools
    In Win 64 bit:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools
    In Linux:
    /hardware/tools/
    In Mac OS X:
    /Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/
  • With this patch you are now able to upload your sketch selecting the Arduino Due(Programming Port) from:
    Tools -> Board and the right port from Tools -> Port in the Arduino IDE
