arduino-mk package makes it simple to build and upload sketches on a Raspberry Pi without the bloated Arduino IDE.
Install the package:
sudo apt-get install arduino-mk
This will install all the required software and files.
Create a library area in your user home directory with a demo sketch in it:
mkdir ~/sketchbook
cd ~/sketchbook
ln -s /usr/share/arduino/Arduino.mk
mkdir blink
cd blink
sudo nano blink.ino
// Blink
void setup(void) {
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
delay(1000);
}
Save it.
Create the Makefile:
sudo nano Makefile BOARD_TAG = leonardo ARDUINO_PORT = /dev/ttyACM0 ARDUINO_LIBS = ARDUINO_DIR = /usr/share/arduino include ../Arduino.mk
make make upload
It will prepare the c and bit files and burn the memory on your Arduino. Watch your LED blinks.
Other commands to perform various tasks:
make – no upload
make upload – compile and upload
make clean – remove all our dependencies
make depends – update dependencies
make reset – reset the Arduino by tickling DTR on the serial port
make raw_upload – upload without first resetting
make show_boards – list all the boards defined in boards.txt

i get a error on make/make upload? why? there are other seting that i should make?
What is the error message?
Store your make file and your .ino file in the same folder and
make sure you have Arduino.mk file somewhere near your working directory, so you can include it like this in your make file:
include ../Arduino.mk
assuming that the file is in your parent folder.
i did exaclli as you said, i try to upload a android bluetooth code… if i try to upload id from my pc it works…if i try to upload from pi i get a fatal error… meetandroid.h no such file or directory… if i try to upload an linefollower code same thing… 535.. luid-cli/depends.mk: no such file…..
Hi, you must import all Android libraries, and point the right path in your make file.
It seems that meetandroid.h does not exist or the path to it is not found.
ionut, this is my Makefile. I am using Gertboard, but you can use any Arduino compatible board. Just have to find the right name for the BOARD_TAG
BOARD_TAG = gert328
ARDUINO_PORT = /dev/ttyS1
#ARDUINO_LIBS = /usr/share/arudino/libraries
ARDUINO_DIR = /usr/share/arduino
#ARDMK_DIR = /usr/bin
#AVR_TOOLS_DIR =/usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools
include ../Arduino.mk
i am using arduino uno..what is the bord tag for it? uno?
Look for the file for the right tag:
Default boards.txt can be found here: http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/boards.txt
uno is there. You can also add your board into the list if not already listed

ARDUINO_LIBS is not path! but libraries (include you have in ino) separate by spaces..
