Hi all,
I recently installed my first Linux (Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop) on an old computer, and I'm trying to install Energia on it.
Since I couldn't find an official "package", I simply downloaded the files, and ran the 'energia' script. Same trick I did with the Arduino 1.5.2 beta BTW, and it worked flawlessly for the Arduino. The Energia IDE does load and compile stuff, but when I try to upload to the actual board I get an error message:
-----------------------
rf2500: warning: can't detach kernel driver: Operation not permitted
rf2500: can't claim interface: Operation not permitted
rf2500: failed to open RF2500 device
-----------------------
I looked for this error in the forums and google, but found only MAC issues. I also see that rf2500 is defined as the Programmer (under Tools menu).
Last hint, when I run energia under sudo ('sudo sh energia' in a terminal) it uploads with no problem. But it doesn't look right, to have to open the terminal, type this command and input my password every time I want to use Energia.
So... what can be done about this?
Thank you very much in advance,
Ido
