Build & Upload Mutable Instruments Branches Software

This is what I used to build Branches using OSX 10.11.4

This is the AVR interface I'm using

Install GCC ARM Toolchain

brew tap PX4/homebrew-px4
brew update
brew install gcc-arm-none-eabi
brew cask install crosspack-avr

Install Mutable Repo

git clone git@github.com:pichenettes/eurorack.git
cd eurorack
git submodule init && git submodule update

Install Programmer Software

brew install avrdude

Install AVRFuses from http://vonnieda.org/software/avrfuses

Configure AVRFuses

GUI

Command-line

From eurorack project directory

avrdude -P usb -c usbasp -p ATmega88P -qq -B 10 -U flash:w:build/branches/branches.hex

Build Branches

make -f branches/makefile

Upload using AVRFuses

Connect Module

Connect the interface, red stripe facing in/towards the other side of the module

It's not necessary to power the module via Eurorack in order to upload. I have had both the AVR interface and Eurorack powering the module at the same time and it doesn't appear to cause any problems

Thanks, this was helpful.

For anyone on windows, check out AVRDUDESS for an alternative to AVRFuses.

Has anyone uploaded the bootloader to branches. I'm on the understanding that it's not required as the fuse settings are baked with the makefile. The issue I have is I have a functional module but the latch doesn't function....
I've seen a lot of threads on using AVRfuse and other GUI based tools, I've just been using AVRdude and Dos commands but I saw in Dudess there is an option for Eprom.....
