Raspbian Nightly

Using Arduino IDE 1.x
1

Hey,
i know that nightlies wont get support, but i don't think, that i'm alone plus google won't find anything 'bout
Perhaps there's an easy fix or i'm plain stupid :o

liblistSerialsj.so
i've downloaded the Linux ARM (April-26 18:13) unpacked it and ran it via "./arduino"
ArduinoIDE crashed with:

Noticed the same thing here.

The same here!
But I found out sth. interesting.

On my Pi 2 (ARMv7/32-bit) it works without that error and on the Pi Zero (ARMv6/32-bit) it doesn't. And the error about liblistSerialsj.so appears. I have read in another forum (Arduino for Arm faults on Odroid C2 - ODROID and Arduino 1.6.9 for Odroid C2 (Arm64) - Installation & Troubleshooting - Arduino Forum), that it is probably linked to 32 and 64 bit... But both processors are 32 bit.

This error appears in the stable 1.6.9 release AND in the nightly, as said.

It might be connected to the ARM architecture (v6 vs. v7/ ARM11 vs. ARM Cortex-A)?!?

I found a dirty solution.
Probably libserials is compiled wrong:
go to: Arduino-IDE-for-Raspberry/binaries at master · NicoHood/Arduino-IDE-for-Raspberry · GitHub (an early working build for arm)
download liblistSerials-1.0.5
and copy arm/liblistSerialsj.so to your arduino*/lib folder
than it works on pi zero, A/B and Pi2 :slight_smile:
