Error compiling for board Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560.

Hi,

I get the following detailed message but i'm not really into programming and forums. I wanted to update the firmware on my CR-10s. I managed to do a boatloader and now i'm trying to upload the new firmware... but this is what i get in the error message... I'm sorry if i'm not in the right place for this problem.

Kind regards,

sketch\planner.cpp: In function 'apply_leveling':

sketch\planner.cpp:1401:3: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault

This bug is specific to the 5.4.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino2 version of avr-gcc used by Arduino AVR Boards 1.6.22 and newer. It has been reported here:

Here's the traditional workaround:

  • Tools > Board > Boards Manager
  • Wait for downloads to finish.
  • When you move the mouse pointer over "Arduino AVR Boards", you will see a "Select version" dropdown menu appear. Select "1.6.21".
  • Click "Install".
  • Wait for installation to finish.
  • Click "Close".

If you have File > Preferences > Check for updates on startup checked, the Arduino IDE may occasionally notify you that a new version of Arduino AVR Boards is available, you'll need to refrain from updating back to the new Arduino AVR Boards version, otherwise you'll be back to seeing the segmentation fault error again.
