avrdude.conf missing

morganrallen opened this issue 8 years ago · 11 comments

I'm getting the following error on two different computers. One Linux, one OSX.

         System wide configuration file is ".../.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/avr/1.4.9/bootloaders/gemma/avrdude.conf"
avrdude: can't open config file ".../.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/avr/1.4.9/bootloaders/gemma/avrdude.conf": No such file or directory
avrdude: error reading system wide configuration file ".../.arduino15/packages/adafruit/hardware/avr/1.4.9/bootloaders/gemma/avrdude.conf"

Inspecting the package shows there isn't event a bootloaders/gemma directory. The only other close reference I find in issue #8. This repo also doesn't appear to ever have contained it.

I'm not even certain how this path is being attained, there's only one reference to avrdude.conf in platforms.txt.

I know the Arduino environment can be pretty aweful, any light shed on this would be appreciated.

what IDE? what exact OS? more details please!

Answer 2 · 2016-08-19T08:31:50.000Z

Linux running Arduino(.cc) 1.6.7 OSX (El Capitan) running latest Arduino, 1.6.11 Board manage using https://adafruit.github.io/arduino-board-index/package_adafruit_index.json

try the latest IDE and reinstall the pkgs? i mean you're the only one with this issue :/

Both computer we've done full uninstalls of everything we can and reinstalled. What I don't understand here is this, bootloaders/gemma doesn't exist in this repo. How is it working for others? I guess I'll keep digging to figure out where this reference is coming from..

i dont understand what do you need the bootloaders folder for - can you not upload to the gemma?

Answer 6 · 2016-08-19T18:50:47.000Z

Nor do I. This is the behavior it does when we try to upload. I'd guessed it was simply looking for the `avddude.conf` file in there.

Answer 7 · 2016-08-19T18:51:17.000Z

And as a result, no, we cannot upload.

Answer 8 · 2016-08-19T19:51:13.000Z

we're using 1.6.9 so maybe try that?

OK, turns out this was part of a misunderstanding about Gemmas. This actually appears to be a bug in the Arduino Gemma, not the Adafruit Gemma. With some struggle still we got this working.

I'm seeing this, too. What did you do to resolve it?

I'm on Windows 10, arduino 1.6.11. I had last used adafruit''s IDE from 2014, and after installing 1.6.11 moved existing libraries out of the libraries directory except for the latest Adafruit_NeoPixel-master. I have an Adafruit GEMMA v2 in the USB. The Board chosen is Adafruit Gemma 8MHz. It compiles and verifies fine.

Answer 11 · 2016-09-12T00:20:17.000Z

Cleared it somehow, by one or more of: uninstalling the IDE, renaming the old Documents/Arduino folder, removing the build folder from TEMP, removing the adafruit USB driver, reinstalling the IDE and drivers. I made sure to use a USB 2 hub (a harsh lesson from last time.) The last hiccup was that I forgot to set the Programmer to USBtinyISP. Apparently all set now.
