Can not work with Arduino IDE 1.5

[wengkai]

Because in the 1.5, the boards.txt is in /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/arduino/avr

Will there be a simple way to specify the directory?

[mikezter]

I symlinked the IDE's hardware folder to one of Ino's load paths:

mkdir -p /usr/local/share/arduino/hardware
ln -s /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/arduino/avr/ /usr/local/share/arduino/hardware/arduino

[adamfeuer]

I too am not able to get ino working with Arduino 1.5. I tried the symlink trick mentioned by @miketzer, and that got me further, but ran into some problems parsing the new boards.txt file.

I added some code to environment.py to get the file parsed, but now am failing because ino is trying to use the avr toolchain, while I need the sam toolchain because I have an Arduino Due.

Any ideas on how to proceed?

[mikezter]

Did you change the link target to /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/arduino/sam ?

[adamfeuer]

No, I did not! Thanks!

I updated the link. But it still doesn't work. I'm getting this error now when I do ino build:

$ ino build
make: execvp: /bin/sh: Argument list too long
make: *** [.build/uno/src/sketch.d] Error 127

[adamfeuer]

Well, there was another problem - the .build/environment.pickle file was holding the old cached avr values.

I deleted that, and ino list-boards now reports the correct list of Due boards. But ino build still gives the error above.

I tried doing the following

$ ino build -m arduino_due_x --make /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java//hardware/tools/avr/bin/make --cxx /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java//hardware/tools/g++_arm_none_eabi/arm-none-eabi/bin/g++ --cc /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java//hardware/tools/g++_arm_none_eabi/arm-none-eabi/bin/gcc --objcopy /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java//hardware/tools/g++_arm_none_eabi/bin/arm-none-eabi-objcopy --ar /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java//hardware/tools/g++_arm_none_eabi/arm-none-eabi/bin/ar

But I still get the same error.

I can second this error. Not having debugged this myself, I assume that the input arg is truncated, which leads to the error

Running Arch Linux, and using a local copy of one of the latest nightly builds for Arduino 1.5. Ino version is 0.3.6, installed via pip. I also symlinked hardware/arduino/avr/boards.txt to hardware/arduino/boards.txt (for MEGA2560). Thought I would share my stacktrace, hope it helps!

[octalsrc]

I am receiving the exact same error as osune. I am also running Arch Linux, and am using Ino version 0.3.6-1 from the Arch User Repository and am using Arduino-Beta 1.5.4-1, also from the Arch User Repository.

[octalsrc]

I tried running [preproc], and now I am not getting osune's error anymore but am getting make error 127 (/bin/sh: Argument list too long) when I run [build].

[justonia]

I am currently working on a fork of this repo that works with Arduino 1.5.x:

https://github.com/justonia/ino

Right now my version breaks backwards compatibility with Arduino 1.0, though I'm considering fixing that as well so it'll work with both. You should be using the 1.5x branch, not master.

Cool!

Will you let me know if I can help?

Hi, did somebody worked this out ? I tried Justonia's fork but it gives the same errors as mentioned on this thread.

[skraelings]

Works for me, have downloaded arduino distribution (arduino-1.5.6-r2) with the 1.5x branch

ino build -m arduino_due_x_debug -d ~/arduino-1.5.6-r2 ino upload -m arduino_due_x_dbg -d ~/arduino-1.5.6-r2 -p /dev/ttyACM0

[jurahudak]

Got the same problem with "Argument list too long" using following versions: ino - f23ee5cb14edc30ec087d3eab7b301736da42362 Arduino sw: 1.5.6, 1.5.7 both 64b on Linux (Arch) (ino can't parse "nightly" as version string) target device: uno

There's a bunch of files in wifi related directories that I'm sure I don't need currently. :-)

My workaround now is: in ino/commands/build.py in function recursive_inc_lib_flags adding 'SOFTWARE_FRAMEWORK' or 'extras' into exclude parameter. Both work though I'm not sure if it breaks anything else. :-)

While building some code examples including Ethernet.h I couldn't include SPI.h which was not discovered. I ended up with forcing ino (the very samo build.py) to load AVR libraries from hardware/arduino/avr/libraries directory. I tried to make in a board/architecture-sensitive way.

Last issue I got while building an Ethernet.h sketch was the discovery of necessity of building using --cppflags="-DARDUINO_ARCH_AVR" and --cppflags="DARDUINO_AVR_UNO". Both copied from Arduino's IDE compilling progress.

Hope it helps. And sorry for a long post. :-)

I found a hack-ish workaround involving symlinking here:
