Arduino Due with Ubuntu 14.04

I recently had the problem of getting the Arduino Due to work with Matlab/Simulink on Ubuntu 14.04.

I finally did find the solution which is automatically applied if you install the Ubuntu arduino package. You have to add yourself to the dialout group and then log out and back in for this to take effect. Either of the following commands can be executed:

sudo apt-get install ardiuno

arduino

--------------------

Or to directly add yourself to the dialout group:

sudo adduser user dialout

where user is your user name (alex). To test if the effects have taken effect run the groups command. The state before:

alex adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare

The state after the log out and log in:

alex adm dialout cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
