Arduino duo install

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

I installed 1.8.0 in order to upgrade my davinci 2.0a. The issue I am having is the Arduino Due is not listed in the available boards. I am new to Arduino so I do not know if the Due goes by another name.

Ugh. Those instructions are wrong. Please do this:

  • Tools > Board > Boards Manager
  • Wait for the update to finish.
  • Scroll down through the list of available Arduino boards packages until you see "Arduino SAM Boards (32-bits ARM Cortex-M3)". Click on it.
  • Click the "Install" button.
  • Wait for the installation to finish.
  • Click the "Close" button.
  • Select the appropriate "Arduino Due" board from the Tools > Board menu. Note that there are two USB sockets on the Due and you need to select the matching board.

Thanks for the help, worked perfectly!

You're welcome. I'm glad to hear it's working now. I am going to see about getting the typo in the official instructions fixed for the benefit of other Due owners.

Enjoy!

I got the due installed but I don't think I have the correct version. How do I determine the version for my davinci 2.0? I am realizing I don't have the Arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\sam\1.6.8\variants\arduino_due_x\ folder, where do I get it?

Do you have this one?:

C:\Users\< user name >\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\sam\1.6.12\variants\arduino_due_x

Note that Windows hides C:\Users< user name >\AppData by default. You'll need to configure Windows Explorer to show hidden folders before you can see it.

I am using windows xp. I did my install to my d: drive, does that change anything? I am configured to show hidden files/folders. A search does not find anything resembling a users...\ appdata....sam\ folder

Do this:

  • (In the Arduino IDE) File > Preferences
  • Click the link on the line following "More preferences can be edited directly in the file:". This will open a folder in your Windows File Explorer.
  • Navigate to the packages\arduino\hardware\sam\1.6.12\variants\arduino_due_x subfolder.

By "my install", do you mean the installation of the Arduino IDE? If so, the answer is no, that doesn't change anything.

Sorry, that is what I meant. So that is where the files I need to update are correct?
