Install Arduino IDE on Raspberry Pi/Raspbian Stretch

This video show how to Install Arduino IDE 1.8.8 on Raspberry Pi 3 B+/Raspbian Stretch. Such that you can program Arduino board on Raspberry Pi.


Setup under test:
Board - Raspberry Pi 3 B+
OS - Raspbian Stretch with desktop and recommended software (Version:November 2018, Release date:2018-11-13)
IDE: Arduino IDE 1.8.8 (Linux ARM)
Arduino Board: Mega 2560

In order to capture the screen action, I remote control the Raspberry Pi from Windows 10 via VNC viewer.

The steps is very straightforward:

- Visit Arduino Download page, download Arduino IDE of Linux ARM.

- After download completed, extract the downloaded file.

- Run the install script:
$ sudo ./install.sh

- After finished, you can run the Arduino IDE in Raspbian desktop Menu -> Programming -> Arduino IDE.

In my case the following error reported when run install.sh:
touch: cannot touch '/root/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list': No such file or directory
/usr/bin/xdg-mime: 803: /usr/bin/xdg-mime: cannot create /root/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list.new: Directory nonexistent

It may be caused by mis-located of the file mimeapps.list. Actually the install.sh only add the desktop shortcut, menu item and file associations for Arduino IDE. This error should not affect the functionality. Alternatively, you can run the IDE by switch to the extracted directory, and run the arduino directly.

Add Arduino core for ESP8266 WiFi chip to Arduino IDE:

Arduino core for ESP8266 WiFi chip brings support for ESP8266 chip to the Arduino environment. It lets you write sketches using familiar Arduino functions and libraries, and run them directly on ESP8266, no external microcontroller required.

ESP8266 Arduino core comes with libraries to communicate over WiFi using TCP and UDP, set up HTTP, mDNS, SSDP, and DNS servers, do OTA updates, use a file system in flash memory, work with SD cards, servos, SPI and I2C peripherals.

Once Arduino IDE installed, you can follow the same steps in my old post to "Add Arduino core for ESP8266 to Arduino IDE (run on Raspberry Pi/Raspbian Jessie with PIXEL)".

Arduino core for ESP32 WiFi chip is another similar project to bring support of ESP32 to Arduino IDE. It can be installed to Arduino IDE by following the same step on normal PC. But, I tried to install it to Arduino IDE on Raspberry Pi, it fail due to "Tool xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc is not available for your operating system"!

Install latest version of Mono and MonoDevelop on Raspberry Pi/Raspbian

My previous post show Install Mono/MonoDevelop on Raspberry Pi/Raspbian using the default package repository. The installed version will be mono 3.2.8 and monodevelop 3.0.3.2. Alternatively, we can update the package repository on the system to install with latest release: mono 3.12.1 and monodevelop 5.7.0 currently.

The page http://www.monodevelop.com/download/linux/ and http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/linux/#debian-ubuntu-and-derivatives provide instructions to install MonoDevelop and Mono on Linux, include Debian. We can follow the steps to install on Raspberry Pi/Raspbian.

My steps is summrized here:

echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list

echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy-apache24-compat main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install mono-devel
sudo apt-get install mono-complete
sudo apt-get install referenceassemblies-pcl

sudo apt-get install monodevelop
sudo apt-get install monodevelop-nunit
sudo apt-get install monodevelop-versioncontrol
sudo apt-get install monodevelop-database
