You may be able to use other versions, but we do not test these. If you run into problems when using other versions, you have to fix them yourself.

Download the Bendyroad Development Studio Linux installer package.

Install the package:

sudo dpkg -i ./bendyroad_[version]_amd64.deb

Connect your development board

Look up by which group it is owned:

ls -l /dev/tty*

The one to look out for will be named /dev/ttyUSB[number] or /dev/ttyACM[number], for example:

crw-rw----+ 1 root dialout 188,  0 nov  9 10:05 /dev/ttyUSB0

Usually the group it belongs to, is group 'dialout'. Check if you are a member:

groups

Add yourself to the 'dialout' group if you are not a member:

sudo usermod -a -G dialout [your user name]

Start the Devstudio from the menu (Programming):

Or create a desktop shortcut for:

/opt/bendyroad/bin/bendyroad

Or start the Devstudio from a terminal window, add /opt/brainbuilder/bin/ to PATH, whichever you prefer
