Upload Error Message

[hydrophyte]

This is a question that has been asked before.

I'm attempting to upload an example sketch to Circuit Playground Express, but getting this error message...

fork/exec /Users/devinbiggs/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc/7-2017q4/bin/arm-none-eabi-g++: no such file or directory

Compilation error: fork/exec /Users/devinbiggs/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc/7-2017q4/bin/arm-none-eabi-g++: no such file or directory

What am I missing?

Have you installed BOTH the Arduino and Adafruit SAMD board support packages? See https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-fea ... rduino-ide.

Dave

Yep. Latest versions for both are installed.

[dastels]

Hmm. Well, it's complaining about /Users/devinbiggs/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc/7-2017q4/bin/. Does that exist? What's there? If not, what's in that general area?

I looked, but I can't find that. Could it be a cached version of something?

[dastels]

That's where it's looking, which explains why it can't find it. Is arm-none-eabi-g++ anywhere on your system?

Dave

[hydrophyte]

Nope, not anywhere. I've already tried deleting and reinstalling IDE twice. What can I do about this?

[dastels]

uninstall and reinstall the both SAMD support packages. I'm assuming it has to do with the Arduino one.

Dave

[hydrophyte]

OK, now I have a really dumb question. Where can I find those, exactly? I've tried file searches, but they don't yield much. I also tried deleting all of IDE and everything that a file search gave me, then reinstalled. But both Adafruit SAMD and Arduino SAMD were there already when I opened it up again. Where, exactly, do these reside?

I'm working on a Mac.

[dastels]

For comparison, I just installed Arduino 1.8.19 on my Mac, Arduino SAMD 1.8.13, and Adafruit SAMD 1.7.10. Compiling blink works.

What example are you trying?

Dave

[hydrophyte]

LOL I just figured it out. All you have to do is hover over "INSTALLED" and it gives you a "UNINSTALL" button.

[hydrophyte]

Wow this is so convoluted!

I uninstalled both Adafruit and Arduino SAMD. I then reinstalled Arduino SAMD, but Boards Manager doesn't seem to have Adafruit SAMD at all anymore. It doesn't show up at all. How can I get it back in here?

[dastels]

This maybe?

We will be adding a URL to the new Additional Boards Manager URLs option. The list of URLs is comma separated, and you will only have to add each URL once. New Adafruit boards and updates to existing boards will automatically be picked up by the Board Manager each time it is opened. The URLs point to index files that the Board Manager uses to build the list of available & installed boards.

To find the most up to date list of URLs you can add, you can visit the list of third party board URLs on the Arduino IDE wiki. We will only need to add one URL to the IDE in this example, but you can add multiple URLS by separating them with commas. Copy and paste the link below into the Additional Boards Manager URLs option in the Arduino IDE preferences.

Wow this is so convoluted!

yeah, Arduino is a little hacky. 2.0 seems nicer, but I usually use platform.io when I can.

This maybe?


Dave

Got it. Thanks. I never would have figured that out in a million years.
