Error compiling for board Arduino MKR Vidor 4000.

It seems that it can't find precompiled library.

Other question about this. Does this allow also use normal USB blaster in same system like used in DE0-Nano?

Hi Limba,
IDE 1.8.5 does not contain the minimum arduino-builder version to link precompiled libraries (I know it sucks but we still can't release the source code for the Blaster library).
Updating to 1.8.8 should fix the issue with no side effect :wink:

Didn't notice any update messages. All libraries were updated through software but no waringns that core is not up to date :slight_smile:

Edit:
It seems to detect the device with official drivers. now testing to upload bitstream

Edit2:
It seems that "template_bare" didn't take use pinmap constraints. maybe something from my setup
Using GUI. Also noticed that CONF_DONE was connected to pin headers. I'm not sure did they changed these behaviour but you can't drive them low when configuring device (At least this was case in Cyclone V).

Check that it seems to work with official drivers (signal tap)
