Trinkey SAMD Board can't be installed

Post by hanstammen »

Hi,

after a year I got back to working with the Trinkey, but things have changed, at least as I'm using a Mac M1 Pro now. I tried to install the Arduino SAMD boards, but they can't be installed using the Arduino IDE. With a manual install I get "bad CPU type" as a result, I guess the boards are not updated to work with the M1 Pro yet?

Am I wrong, is there a workaround? Any ideas? Thanks!

Hans

Which version of the Arduino IDE are you using? What version of MacOS?

I believe the M1 builds showed up in the 2.0.1 Arduino IDE snapshots.

Yeah, you definitely need to be on the newer Ardiuno IDE and libraries for M1 Pro support. I think support was added starting in the Spring of 2022. Glad you are up and running.
