exec: "/bin/arm-none-eabi-g++": file does not exist

Development Tools IDE 1.x

I installed a new Arduino, installed "Adafruit SAMD boards" version1.5.10 and selected the "Adafruit Trinket M0" board. Then I compiled the empty sketch and got this message:

Arduino:1.8.11 (Windows 10), Kort:"Adafruit Trinket M0, Arduino, Off"
exec: "/bin/arm-none-eabi-g++": file does not exist
Error compiling for board Adafruit Trinket M0.
This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

And with verbose output:

Arduino:1.8.11 (Windows 10), Kort:"Adafruit Trinket M0, Arduino, On"

Error compiling for board Adafruit Trinket M0.

If I look under "C:\Users\pgrap\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\arm-none-eabi-gcc\4.8.3-2014q1\bin" there is a file named arm-none-eabi-g++.exe

To me it looks like there is some variable that has not been assigned so that the compiler looks under just /bin rather the using the full path. Can anyone help?

Try this:

  • Tools > Board > Boards Manager
  • Wait for the downloads to finish.
  • Click on "Arduino SAMD Boards (32-bits ARM Cortex-M3)".
  • Click the "Install" button.
  • Wait for the installation to finish.
  • Click the "Close" button.
  • Try compiling for your Adafruit Trinket M0 again.

Thanks, I tried it but got the same error. I also restarted the Arduino Ide but with the same result.

This error indicates something has gone wrong with a hardware package installed via Boards Manager. The solution is to remove and then re-install the packages. Be aware this will remove any boards you have installed via Boards Manager:

  • (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 the Arduino15 (or similar name depending on OS) folder.
  • Delete all files and folders under the Arduino15 folder except for preferences.txt. Please be very careful when deleting things from your computer. When in doubt, back up!
  • (In the Arduino IDE) Tools > Board > Boards Manager
  • Wait for the downloads to finish.
  • Reinstall the packages you need (Adafruit SAMD Boards, Arduino SAMD Boards).
  • Click "Close"

Tried Arduino SAMD Boards (32-bits ARM Cortex-M0+) instead and then it worked.
Thanks for the help.
