I have the Arduino IDE running on a Raspberry PI 4. I am trying to do development on a SparkFun Artemis Redboard ATP. When I try install the “SparkFun Apollo3 Boards” I get an error.
Tool arm-none-eabi-gcc is not available for your operating system.
Is there a gcc package I can install to get past this error, or can I compile a package?
The ESP32 Arduino core also has the same issue on the Raspberry Pi. Unfortunately, this has been around for a while and I haven’t heard of any development progress to resolve the issue; especially, since this is so platform specific.
Yes - as you suggest you could find the appropriate version of GCC and provide it to Arduino with the proper platform tags.
You will need to temporarily make your own “platform.json” available on the internet and direct Arduino to use that to search for tools / packages. If you are successful finding the right toolchain and identifier we would gladly take a PR to make the support official.
For the download, select xpack-arm-none-eabi-gcc-9.3.1-1.1-linux-arm.tar.gz. I followed the instructions for “Manual install” and adjusted the commands for this version number. When all was said and done, I was able to run GCC as described at the end of the installation instructions.
However, this does not resolve the issue when installing the board for the Sparkfun Artemis. I’m new to all of this, so I really have no idea how to make my own “platform.json” and communicate that with Arduino. If anyone can provide guidance on this topic, I’d be happy to give it a go as I too would love to develop for the Artemis through my RPi4.
