How can i resolve the ESP8266 compilation error caused by the Arduino Support Package?

I am unable to build any of my ESP8266 boards after i installed the Arduino Support Package on my machine.

Error Debug message:

Did you ever get this resolved?

[Siddharth Vaghela]

It is possible to workaround this issue with the answer provided by Walter. However, this still does not answer the question as to why the support package disturbs the Arduino IDE installation. I think the problem lies in the fact that the support package tries to install Arduino ide without checking if it exists or not, and then goes ahead and installs the 32-bit version.

Hi,

We are aware of this issue and actively working on a resolution for this. Until then consider using the solution mentioned in post by Haben Ghebremedhin on Dec 16, 2018.

Thanks

Hi Arpita,

Haben's solution fixes the external Arduino IDE build issues but it breaks the MATLAB hardware support package! When I try to run arduinosetup, it throws an "samd unknown architecture" error.

Thats true, when you need to use the MATLAB hardware package just go back to the file and change it back.

It turns out that when you use the arduino suport package in matlab things get screw up a bit thats for mathworks to figure out but as for this issue you have to go to C:\Users\Your user name here \AppData\Local\Arduino15 and find the preference text file, in the file chage the settings.path to where you have your arduino...typically C:\Users\Your user name here \Docments\Arduino and that should fix it.

Thank you so much dear Haben Ghebremedhin, it works.

[Siddharth Vaghela]

thank you so much Haben!!! this worked.

Excelente respuesta,

Otra opción es eliminar el archivo preference, de tal forma que, el arduino genere una nueva y ya funciona.

[Gustavo Rojas]

Hola a todos

Tuve el mismo problema no podia compilar directamente la tarjeta NODEMCU con Arduino despues de cargar la libreria de arduino en MATLAB, actualice el arduino, cargue nuevamente el compilador de "gcc", borre el archivo de "preference.txt" y no me funciono, lo que me funciono para que me aceptara el arduino el poder compilar la tarjeta NODEMCU fue eliminar la carpeta "Arduino15" en la ruta

"C:\Users\"nombre de usuario"\AppData\Local\Arduino15", la cual tenia un tamaño mayor de 3GB, despues de esta accion, al borrar la carpeta, entrar a arduino, cargar una aplicacion para la tarjeta NODEMCU y compilar y compilarme la aplicacion, me volvio a generar la misma carpeta pero con un tamaño de un poco mas de 7MB.

thank you very much

[William Arevalo]

Thank you very much, I wasted a lot of time trying to solve this problem, but this solution work so good, really thanks

[Zaid Haymoor]

I had this problem, and I have just solved it by going to C:\Users\Zaid\AppData\Local

then search for the folder arduino or arduino15

Uninstall the IDE then remove this folder, matlab changes the configuration of the IDE somewhere in this folder so it starts reading the boards from somewhere else,, after deleting the folder Arduino or arduino15 or both you can reinstall the arduino IDE and reconfigure the esp boards from boards manager after adding the jason extension from preferences as before and it will work

This works for me.

Thank you so much

@zaid

Thank you... this works for me.

you are all welcome :D

[Mg Mg Thwin]

Thanks You @Zaid.........Your answer can solve my problems.

[Lau Boon Chong]

Thank you @Zaid Haymoor, your answer solved my problem. Thank you very much

[Farabi Gulandaz]

Thankyou. It worked.

This doesn't really solve my problem since i am a Windows user.

Hi, I am new to nodemcu. When I was using ESP8266WiFi.h, I got the error "Error compiling for board NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module)" which said that Multiple libraries were found for ESP8266WiFi.h. I solved by simply put the void loop(){} empty function at the end of my code. Now It's working...
