Unexpected command line argument: {extra_params}

Hi all,
I am new to arduino zero and having the following problem. I've already check the forum however there is no solution. Please help an thanks in advance.

Problem Description:

The example Blink did work however for the example File/example/Stepper/stepper_oneRevolution the compiling completed without any error but upload failed with error as follows:

Hi @nhatd. It seems that a change made in the latest version of the "Arduino SAMD Boards" platform release 1.8.12 broke uploads for the "Zero (Programming Port)" board:

The easiest workaround is to roll back to the previous version of "Arduino SAMD Boards". I'll provide instructions for that:

Select Tools > Board > Boards Manager from the Arduino IDE menus.
Wait for the updates to finish.
Scroll down through the list of boards platforms until you see "Arduino SAMD Boards (32-bits ARM Cortex-M0+)". Click on it.
Select "1.8.11" from the "Select version" menu.
Click the Install button.
Wait for the installation to finish.
Click the Close button.

You should now be able to upload to your Zero without getting this error.

If you have "Check for updates on start up" enabled in File > Preferences then the Arduino IDE will periodically notify you that the newer version of "Arduino SAMD Boards" is available. You will need to refrain from updating back to "Arduino SAMD Boards" 1.8.12, otherwise the upload problem will come back. However, you should keep an eye out for the 1.8.13 release, since this will contain the fix for the bug as well as other useful improvements.

There is already a proposal for a fix for this bug:

github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-samd

Remove programmer properties from openocd upload pattern

arduino:master ← per1234:fix-openocd-upload-pattern

opened 06:30AM - 28 Nov 21 UTC

per1234

+1 -1

Platform properties may be associated with a specific programmer selection in th…e [`programmers.txt` configuration file](https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/dev/platform-specification/#programmerstxt). These properties can be used in the `platform.txt` patterns for the actions that use the programmer: - [`program`](https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/dev/platform-specification/#upload-using-an-external-programmer) - [`erase`](https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/dev/platform-specification/#burn-bootloader) - [`bootloader`](https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/dev/platform-specification/#burn-bootloader) However, those properties are not expanded in the [`upload`](https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/dev/platform-specification/#sketch-upload-configuration) pattern, since it does not use the programmer: https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/dev/platform-specification/#programmerstxt > These properties can only be used in the recipes of the actions that use the programmer (`erase`, `bootloader`, and `program`). While enhancing the ability to make programmer-specific configuration of the patterns (https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-samd/pull/636), programmer-associated properties were introduced into `tools.openocd.upload.pattern`, which caused uploads to fail for the "Arduino Zero (Programming Port)" board: ``` Unexpected command line argument: {extra_params} ``` The `upload` pattern is hereby reverted to the previous working configuration, leaving [the beneficial changes](https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-samd/pull/636) to the other patterns. --- Originally reported at https://forum.arduino.cc/t/unexpected-command-line-argument-extra-params/929834

As an alternative to the workaround I described above, you can manually apply the patch for that fix to your current "Arduino SAMD Boards" 1.8.12 installation, as shown here:
https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-samd/pull/655/files

Hi In0,
Thank you very much for your help and your so quick response.

You are welcome. I'm glad if I was able to be of assistance.

Wth, it just started to happen again???

rfaass · January 4, 2022, 9:11pm

Had to downgrade to 1.8.10 to get going again; the only thing I done, loaded the adafruit libraries for a spi tft... .11 and .12 don't work here...

ukphotoguy · February 9, 2022, 10:34pm

Is this still an issue? I just spent a lot of time trying to load my new Zero and get the same issue. I am using IDE 2.0.0-rc3 on Ubuntu. It will load using the native port but although new to this two port device, I see the programing port should work??

in0 · February 10, 2022, 4:33am

Unfortunately, yes. Even though the bug was fixed last November, Arduino has not made a new release of the "Arduino SAMD Boards (32-bits ARM Cortex-M0+)" boards platform since that time. So the bug is still present in the installation of the latest version you get from the Arduino IDE Boards Manager.

You will need to follow the instructions I provided above to work around this issue. Please let me know if you have any questions or problems.

ukphotoguy · February 10, 2022, 3:04pm

Thanks for the update and sharing. Guess I am shocked that this is still an issue, seems basic to me that this feature would be needed to make full use of the Zero, perhaps you can still do de-bug as that seems to be the point of the Zero.
I am back on a windows installation, just easier, bigger screen. I said I was using IDE 2.0.0-rc3 and do not seem to be able to find the files for openocd upload pattern. Might be that this was for the earlier versions.
I thought one of the reasons for moving to the 2.x IDE was for debugging from the IDE, this is what attracted me, I had read about using the ATMEL STUDIO approach but was a little put off by the complexity. Then II saw IDE 2.0 and thought how wonderful it would be to finally have a single environment and really debug at this level.
So, please help me create an IDE that will work, tell me if I should find the old 1.8 version or how to patch either the 2.x or whatever. Does this issue affect any other aspects of the USB communications becasue that also seems to be an issue for me. 73's Steve

ukphotoguy · February 10, 2022, 3:20pm

OK bit wiser. I did not know that the fix was for the specific board library loaded automatically by the IDE, now I have also understood that the 1.8.10 was its version to use. I confused this with the 1.8.13 which appears at the top of the older IDE.
I can now download through the programmer interface.
Big Thanks
