AVR-Live-CD/en

The Labor-AVR-Live-CD is a Linux distribution based on Archlinux. It is intended to give first-time users a quick and easy start into microcontroller development, as it comes with all software needed, so you can start to code immediately: just download it, burn it to a CD and boot it or just start it in your favorite virtualization environment.

When running the live system, you can also use /opt/larchin/run/larchin.py to install the distribution to your harddrive or a USB stick.

Remarks[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

At the time being we only offer the most recent version for download
This is a so-called release candidate (RC), i.e. the software installed in the live system as well as the rest of the configuration may be subject to changes in future versions
To obtain a current SVN-Checkout just run "larorsvn"
To install the system on a harddisk or USB stick run "/opt/larchin/run/larchin.py"
