Linux build: unsubstantiated error message on upload
Dan Sawyer
Sketch uploading is resulting in an error message that is not supported by the data:
Arduino: 1.8.5 (Linux), Board: "Generic STM32F103C series, STM32F103CB (20k RAM. 128k Flash), Serial, 72Mhz (Normal), Smallest (default)" Archiving built core (caching) in: /tmp/arduino_cache_906576/core/core_Arduino_STM32_STM32F1_genericSTM32F103C_device_variant_STM32F103CB,upload_method_serialMethod,cpu_speed_speed_72mhz,opt_osstd_cd9ba7d2851dc8d18dce0f7e8fa709da.a Sketch uses 115160 bytes (87%) of program storage space.

Has anyone seen this? Thanks, Dan

The correct path should be ../Arduino_STM32/tools/linux64/stm32flash/stm32flash But I have no idea how to fix it in the deep bowls of Arduino_STM32, so instead, I worked around it. What I do is install stm32flash sudo apt install stm32flash Then manually run the stm32flash using the binary that was just compiled. Alternatively, use the bld script from the Linux Tools section, and forget the IDE altogether. Compiles the Blue Pill STM32duino, Blue Pill Arduino_STM32, S6, WeMos and ESP32 SHC.

Thanks. That is what I did. I was able to load it manually. Your description makes sense. I will look into the script and see
if it is editable. I will let you know if I am able to fix it. Dan

The following seems to work: cd to the ~/Arduino/hardware/Arduino_STM32/tools/ directory mv linux to bak.linux.bak ln -s linux64 linux Either the script has an error and should be generating a linux64
reference or there is an install script that is not creating
links. I haven't tried a full load based on the above, but it got
past the error to an expected port error. I will test it later and let you know if there is a subsequent
issue. Dan

I didn't bother debugging it since my bld script handles everything: compile, and flash in one go.
And since I prefer a command line interface for certain tasks, it works quite well It also has the added benefit that I can avoid the IDE and switching boards, and remembering what options are there for each ... etc.

I have often found that when something is ported to/released for 64 bit, the tools are not necessarily modified to use 64 bit instantiations on the host. It is frustrating to say the least and often leads to custom/personal scripts.

Khalid,
perhaps! It depends upon ones scripting abilities. ;) Unfortunately mine are lacking. I gravitate more towards hardware and integration rather than software.
