Arduino IDE error when loading sketch

General Discussion Getting Started
#1

I am running the Arduino IDE 1.8.2 on Ubuntu 14.04.5. I was able to get the IDE setup, as far as I can tell, correctly with the M2 hardware being recognised and I was even able to use the “Get Board Info” feature. However, when I either do Verify/Compile or Upload I get this error:

Arduino: 1.8.2 (Linux), Board: “Macchina M2”

Board m2 (platform sam, package macchina) is unknown

Error compiling for board Macchina M2.

Unfortunately Google didn’t return anything useful that I can find. Anyone have any ideas what I did wrong?

Thanks,

Did you install Arduino Due, then Arduino Sam, then the M2 Files after that.

#3

I think so… I followed these directions:

http://docs.macchina.cc/m2/getting-started/arduino.html

They don’t say anything about installing the Due stuff, but the Due is available in my Boards.

So I went and did a fresh install in a Virtual Machine and it worked fine. So I uninstalled everything as best I could figure out (installing/removing programs that weren’t installed through a package manager is still a little mystery to me). Did a clean reinstall of 1.8.5, installed the 2 boards and it compiled fine.

I am guessing something was messed up from when I installed the IDE originally, but what I don’t know.
