1 year ago Thanks for your comments. I'm sorry that it created an extra hassle for you. Were you following documentation or a YouTube tutorial, originally? Want to be sure we better understand where the information is lacking.

9 months ago @jpecor The information that's lacking is which specific versions of the Arduino IDE worked with your products, e.g, support for the XLR8 board.
I tried following your company's step by step guide to setting it all up in Arduino, in Arduino IDE 1.8.19, and found I couldn't even compile the Blink sketch, without generating a stream of errors from the IDE. I left more details in one of your other related repos, and still don't have an answer. Someone else had reported similar problems, about two years ago, in the same repo.
Is the XLR8 a dead project? I don't mind hunting down and installing an older version of Arduino, but I still need to know which versions would actually work.

3 months ago Similar issues upon attempting to compile, as well. I do think this is a "dead project" @Andy2No.
My problem was not resolved by reverting to older version of the IDE.
Specifically, the error I received was related to the outdated "avr-gcc\4.8.1-arduino5/bin/avr-g++" package. As was previously reported here: https://github.com/AloriumTechnology/Arduino_Boards/issues/2
A local copy of the "Additional Board Manager" json file with updated package called out, should help.
Eventually Figured it out from a fairly matter of fact comment in an Alorium youtube video, but please make it more obvious that Arduino IDE Versions newer than 1.8.x are not compatible with the buildchain! Pulled my hair out all day with rewriting the linker script before I gave up and tried the older IDE 😂
