bossac not found under Linux #90

Closed Wene closed 5 years ago

Wene commented 5 years ago

When trying to upload a sketch under Linux, the following error occurs:

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "{runtime.tools.bossac-1.7.0.path}/bossac": error=2, Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

I could quickly fix it by manually changing the path in platform.txt line 115 to the absolute path of the tools- folder in the package and the command in line 116 from "bossac" to "bossac_linux" . But I think there will be a more elegant solution with relative paths.

Thanks for the hint. After installing the "Arduino SAMD Boards" it works with the original config.

In this case I wonder why the "bossac_linux"- tool is included here since it's not supposed to be used. And of course I would appreciate it if this hint could be added to the README.

its a bit of an ancient remainder - we should delete it

Has been solved with the current version. The misleading tools are removed in the library.
