View source for Running avrdude from eclipse under linux

When I run avrdude under linux to program through my USBTiny device, it needs to run with superuser privileges (don't know why). Running from the command line is fine if I use sudo, but I hadn't been able to figure out how to tell avr-eclipse to do the same. The solution that I use is to rename <code>/usr/bin/avrdude</code> to something like <code>/usr/bin/true-avrdude</code> and create a script under the name <code>/usr/bin/avrdude</code> with the following content:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
#!/bin/sh
gksudo --user root -- true-avrdude $@
</syntaxhighlight>

Don't forget to <code>sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/true-avrdude</code> after creating the file.
