Before I was using Linux x64 with no success, now using today with limited success linjuxarm tar xz it seems to be doing a good extracting and can be seen on screen in dialogue box but again and again after java is seen on screen while extracting of course an error occurred while accessing the archive which is the message that I see with red circle and with dash inside!
to use the agent on ARM Linux boards (like Raspberry PI) you need to compile everything by yourself.
We currently package it only for Windows, Mac and Linux on 64bit Intel processors.
About the java IDE, it looks like your SD card is either full or broken, because the archive extracts and executes correctly on out test RPi . You probably also need to follow the guide about "adding udev rules" if the upload is not executing correctly (problems touching the port etc)
However I am still new to all this and I am struggling to follow the instructions given on the suggested websites!
I am keen to learn about how to build etc.
By the way when I at a terminal and follow the instructions for the permissions on serial port I just get no directories or files after doing ls dev/tty....Where am I going wrong?
I really can't wait to having some fun with my new micro but I just sadly can't just hack it!
Any further tips on getting arduino working on RPI would be appreciated , I installed the arm version for 1.8.5 but following the instructions for v1.8.1 on the guy who does the medium (google) website! Could this be where I am going wrong after the final step of install seems to throw up messages mentioning minecraftetc!
