bossac.exe file does not exist

Development Boards Arduino

Hi

I am now getting this error trying to upload to my RedBoard Turbo:

Failed uploading: cannot execute upload tool: exec: “{runtime.tools.bossac-1.7.0-arduino3.path}/bossac.exe”: file does not exist

It was working but now its not.

I have uninstalled the IDE and reinstalled it and the SparkFun SAMD Boards 1.8.3 but still get this error. Why that wouldn’t fix it is a mystery to me. Seems like the Arduino IDE uninstall isn’t very thorough.

Anyway can someone help me fix this issue?

Thanks

Johnny

The Sparkfun SAMD library is an add-on to the Arduino SAMD library. When the Arduino-library is installed the necessary tools (like Bossac) are installed. See https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/re … up-arduino.

Install the latest version of the Arduino SAMD library. If it does not work after that. Close down IDE, look for the packages folder where the board libraries are stored, remove/rename the Arduino folder, restart IDE and re-install the Arduino SAMD library.

Got it to work, thank you.

I needed to remove the packages folder and reinstall the Arduino SAMD as you described.
