Programming RFLink on Linux machines

[Stuntteam]

Download AVRDude compatible with your OS.

Like from here: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/avrdude/

Get the latest rflink.cpp.hex fro mthe RFLink firmware archive.

use the following command:
But before you do, make sure you select the correct serial port. by replacing the "serialport" part into something like "/dev/tty.xxx"

avrdude -p atmega2560 -c stk500v2 -P serialport -b 115200 -U flash:w:C:\rflink\RFLink.cpp.hex:i

Thanks, great info.

Can the same recipe be used to program an ESPEasy bin file into the ESP8266 when OTA is not possible ?

Just a pity it has to be done on the commandline, much change to mistype a character.
I'm still looking for a tool that has a simple GUI.

The avrdude is for AVR family chips, so this will not work for ESP. I think Arduino uses python stuff for this on Linux.

I have been struggling with python but could not make it work on Linux mint-17 (maybe I should try harder . )
So until I have my linux fixed for python I have to use Windows and use the flash tool delivered together with the ESPEasy bin files.
That works fantastic, just the rebooting stuff Linux > Windows > Linux is not ideal.
