"json file signature verification failed" on Arduino boards file

Question

"json file signature verification failed" on Arduino boards file

technoblogy opened this issue 4 years ago · 9 comments

The Arduino IDE boards file for using Maixduino on the Arduino IDE is currently giving an error:

http://dl.sipeed.com/MAIX/Maixduino/package_Maixduino_k210_index.json file signature verification failed. File ignored.

This makes it impossible to develop programs with any of the Sipeed K210 RSIC-V boards, including the Maixduino, MAiX One Dock, and MAiX BiT.

Please can this be fixed as soon as possible, or alternatively explain how to fix it.

Thank you, David

As a workaround I was able to get it working again by getting the older package files off backup; these are:

package_Maixduino_k210_index.json
package_Maixduino_k210_index.json.sig.tmp

On a Mac they are in:

/Users/david/Library/Arduino15

where david is whatever your username is.

However, due to the file signature verification failure they'll get deleted if you go into the Arduino IDE's Boards Manager.

This is still a problem for me. Is anyone else getting this?

I can't reproduce it, could you give the error message

I'm using this boards file in Arduino Preferences:

http://dl.sipeed.com/MAIX/Maixduino/package_Maixduino_k210_index.json

Every time I go into Boards Manager... I get the error:

http://dl.sipeed.com/MAIX/Maixduino/package_Maixduino_k210_index.json file signature verification failed. File ignored.

and my existing Maixduino files are deleted:

package_Maixduino_k210_index.json
package_Maixduino_k210_index.json.sig.tmp

so the Maixduino entries disappear from the Boards menu.

I'm using Arduino 1.8.9 on a MacBook Pro with macOS High Sierra 10.13.6.

How about trying http://cn.dl.sipeed.com/MAIX/Maixduino/package_Maixduino_k210_index.json?
BTW, could you give the error message when you visit http://dl.sipeed.com/MAIX/Maixduino/package_Maixduino_k210_index.json in browser.

How about trying http://cn.dl.sipeed.com/MAIX/Maixduino/package_Maixduino_k210_index.json?

Same problem:

http://cn.dl.sipeed.com/MAIX/Maixduino/package_Maixduino_k210_index.json file signature verification failed. File ignored.

BTW, could you give the error message when you visit http://dl.sipeed.com/MAIX/Maixduino/package_Maixduino_k210_index.json in browser.

There's no error message, but the behaviour is slightly different from other boards files. For example, if I go to:

https://files.seeedstudio.com/arduino/package_seeeduino_boards_index.json

it downloads a file package_seeeduino_boards_index.json, but when I go to:

http://dl.sipeed.com/MAIX/Maixduino/package_Maixduino_k210_index.json

it downloads a file package_Maixduino_k210_index.json.txt - in other words, it adds a ".txt" extension.

I can not trigger your problem in 1.8.13. It seems that the old version can not deal HTTP 301.

Try 1.8.13?

Answer 8 · 2020-07-15T10:07:28.000Z

OK I'll let you know.

Answer 9 · 2020-07-15T12:21:33.000Z

I've upgraded to 1.8.13 and it seems OK now - thanks!
