Dependencies

  • Python 2.6 or higher, including Python 3
  • pySerial (for RS232 support) 2.5 or higher
  • PyUSB (for USB support) 1.0 or higher

Installing dependencies on Ubuntu

You should install the latest versions of pySerial and PyUSB via pip. To get pip on Ubuntu, use apt to install:

$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Or if you are holding out on 2.7:

$ sudo apt-get install python-pip

If you installed pip for Python 3, replace 'pip' below with 'pip-3.2' (or 'pip-3.3'):

$ pip install pyserial pyusb

It is recommended that you install the dependencies in a virtual environment if you are developing with the pyATK libraries.

Running pyATK in-tree

The command line version of pyATK. mx-flashtool, can be run in the source checkout without setting the PYTHONPATH, as long as you are within the root of the checkout:

~/pyatk $ python bin/mx-flashtool --help

Installing pyATK library

To install the pyATK library from source into your Python distribution or virtual environment:

~/pyatk $ python setup.py install
...
~/pyatk $ python
