ⓘ The instructions above are for Arduino IDE 1.6.6 and greater. If you are using a previous version the only difference is the folders are under C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming instead of C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local
Installing Other Versions
You will probably want to repeat this process whenever a new version of Intel Curie Boards is released. Here's how you find the URLs to download these files:
- Open the package index that contains the installation data. It is at the following URL:
http://downloads.arduino.cc/packages/package_index.json
- Find the entry in the package index file for the target version of the "Intel Curie Boards" platform.
- Download the platform archive file from the URL specified by the
url key of the entry.
- Extract the downloaded file to the appropriate location.
- Find the entry in the package index file associated with a
systems[*].host value of i686-mingw32 for each of the tool dependencies specified by the toolsDependencies field of the "Intel Curie Boards" platform entry.
- Download the archive files for each of the tool dependencies.
- Extract the downloaded files to the appropriate location.
You will need to adjust the folder structure specified in the 1.0.6 installation instructions to reflect the new version numbers.
Example
For example, the entry for the "Intel Curie Boards" platform version 1.0.6 looks like:
{
"name": "Intel Curie Boards",
"version": "1.0.6",
"category": "Arduino Certified",
"archiveFileName": "arduino101-1.0.6.zip",
"architecture": "arc32",
"url": "https://github.com/01org/corelibs-arduino101/archive/1.6.9+1.74.zip",
"checksum": "SHA-256:c3d34679c18b34411bcfd55e09d3403ff372ff1ca1c6dcd26ec6b08f2b88fd7f",
"size": 673874,
"boards": [
{
"name": "Arduino/Genuino 101"
}
],
"toolsDependencies": [
{
"packager": "Intel",
"version": "1.6.9+1.0.1",
"name": "arc-elf32"
},
{
"packager": "Intel",
"version": "1.6.9+1.24",
"name": "arduino101load"
}
]
}
The url key specifies that the platform archive file can be downloaded from this URL:
https://github.com/01org/corelibs-arduino101/archive/1.6.9+1.74.zip
There are also two tools dependencies specified by the toolsDependencies field:
-
Intel:arc-elf32 version 1.6.9+1.0.1
-
Intel:arduino101load version 1.6.9+1.24
You will find the entries for those tools in the package index as well. For example, here is the entry for Intel:arc-elf32 version 1.6.9+1.0.1:
{
"name": "arc-elf32",
"version": "1.6.9+1.0.1",
"systems": [

The download URL is specified by the systems[*].url key for the object with host value of i686-mingw32:
https://downloadmirror.intel.com/25470/eng/arc-toolchain-windows-arcem-1.0.1.zip
Installing On Other Operating Systems
The instructions above were specific to Windows. Some small adjustments are needed to install for other operating systems:
Data Directory Location
The files are installed under C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Arduino15\ on Windows. The equivalent folder is in the following location on other operating systems:
-
macOS:
/Users/<username>/Library/Arduino15
-
Linux:
/home/<username>/.arduino15 (a.k.a. ~/.arduino15)
systems[*].host Value For Tool Dependencies
The tool dependencies data in the package index file for Windows was associated with a systems[*].host value of i686-mingw32. The equivalent value for other operating systems:
-
macOS:
i386-apple-darwin11
-
Linux 64 bit:
x86_64-linux-gnu
-
Linux 32 bit:
