MicroMod Asset Tracker, samd51, Arduino IDE and FQBN error

Development Boards MicroMod

Hello,

I have a SparkFun MicroMod Asset Tracker Carrier board that has a Samd51 processor board plugged into it.

I’m using the Arduino IDE 2.0 in an attempt to code the board. I’m on Windows 10 and the board is plugged into my usb com port. Right now I’m just experimenting. I’m relatively new to this kind of programming. I downloaded libraries for both boards. When I attempt to compile a short sketch/script I get the following error: Missing FBQN (Fully Qualified Board Name). I can’t get the Arduino IDE to recognize the Asset Tracker board, nor do I see it listed among their boards. I also don’t see the samd51. I do see samd21.

I’m trying the first example here:

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks!

Have you installed the library properly?

This error occurs when you do not select any board: https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/art … oard-Name-

In your case, you cannot find your board in the boards list. So, most likely the library was not installed. Kindly check in the ‘libraries’ folder.

Hello bidrohini,

“Have you installed the library properly?”

I see the SparkFun_u-blox_SARA-R5_Arduino_Library is installed. However, the issue is with the board… requiring a “Core” for the Samd51… I was directed to here: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/m … rduino-ide

I’ve been following the steps, but I’m running into an issue regarding the “arm-gcc” compiler. They link to a page, but I still can’t determine what precisely to download. I’m here on Windows 10.

This is the page they link to for arm-gcc

https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded

Here is what they say regarding that link

“First, you’ll need to install a variety of tools, including low-level ARM Cortex libraries full of generic code, arm-gcc to compile your code, and bossa to upload over the bootloader. These tools come packaged along with Arduino’s SAMD board definitions for the Arduino Zero.”

I have bossa and the low-level ARM Cortex libraries…

Regards,

…John
