This is a guide on how I compiled and flashed GRBL on an Arduino UNO using Arch Linux.

Prepare the Environment¶

• Make sure the system is up to date:
  

  sudo pacman -Syu
  

• Install a few dependencies:
  

  sudo pacman -S base-devel git avr-gcc
  

• Install yaourt

• Install the arduino package from the AUR:
  

  yaourt -S arduino
  

Compile GRBL¶

• Download the latest GRBL source code from GitHub:
  

  git clone https://github.com/grbl/grbl
  cd grbl
  

• Compile GRBL:
  

  make clean
  make grbl.hex
  

Flash GRBL¶

• Flash the hex file using avrdude:
  

  avrdude -C/etc/avrdude.conf -pm328p -carduino -P/dev/ttyACM0 -D -Uflash:w:grbl.hex
