Has anyone been able to get a arduino-cli working on a raspberry pi?

yNos (Customer) asked a question.

We have a few remote sites with a raspi running node-red pulling data off a P1AM for data acquisition . I'd really like to be able to push new code to the sites w/o going out to them. Bonus points for not having to run a USB cable. So far I've tried a few things from here.

Here is the output from the core install:

$ arduino-cli core install P1AM-100:samd
Tool arduino:CMSIS@4.5.0 already installed
Downloading packages...
Error during install: Error downloading tool arduino:arm-none-eabi-gcc@4.8.3-2014q1: no versions available for the current OS, try contacting packages@arduino.cc
me@site1:~/ $

I was able to install the build utils outside of it:

me@site1:~ $ arm-none-eabi-gcc --version
arm-none-eabi-gcc (15:8-2019-q3-1+b1) 8.3.1 20190703 (release) [gcc-8-branch revision 273027]

me@site1:~ $ arm-none-eabi-g++ --version

I've even got bossac working:

me@site1:~ $ bossac -h                                                                                   
Usage: bossac [OPTION...] [FILE]                   
Basic Open Source SAM-BA Application (BOSSA) Version 1.7.0
Flash programmer for Atmel SAM devices.     
.....

Any suggestions would be great.

Looking at that error I believe it's still trying to install the normal P1AM-100 platform using the cached json. You'll want to go into your .arduino15 folder and delete the "package_productivity-P1AM-boardmanagermodule_index.json" and try again.

Try installing using this link as your 3rd party board URL: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/AdamCummick/93604debae8bac40c2af58470ad01dd6/raw/4ad7c0eaaf03372f08633a4a89cde9d99a816da2/p1am_pi.json

It's the same core as our normal distribution, but with tool dependencies that will work on the Pi.

No such luck. I was however able to build it on my machine here, then use arduinoOTA to push it up.

me@site2:~ $ ~/.arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/arduinoOTA/1.2.1/bin/arduinoOTA -address 192.168.24.47 -port 65280 -username arduino -password trollololol -sketch P1AM.ino.P1AM-100.bin -upload /sketch -b Connecting to board ... done Uploading sketch ... done Flashing sketch ... done OK Sketch uploaded successfully me@site2:~

It gets the job done, but feels hamfisted.
