Setting up FreeSoc2 in Arduino ... C compiler setup issues ... please help

[subu65]

Hi Everyone,
I picked up the FreeSoc2 board from Embedded World and tried setting up, using the guide from SparkFun, but i keep getting the following error:

Arduino: 1.8.5 (Windows 10), Board: "PSoC Dev Board"

Warning: platform.txt from core 'SparkFun PSoC Development Boards' contains deprecated recipe.ar.pattern="{compiler.path}{compiler.ar.cmd}" {compiler.ar.flags} {compiler.ar.extra_flags} "{build.path}/{archive_file}" "{object_file}", automatically converted to recipe.ar.pattern="{compiler.path}{compiler.ar.cmd}" {compiler.ar.flags} {compiler.ar.extra_flags} "{archive_file_path}" "{object_file}". Consider upgrading this core.
exec: "/hardware/tools/psoc/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc": file does not exist
Error compiling for board PSoC Dev Board.

I tried to make changes to Platform.txt, for the C compiler path name, but still get this message.

Can anyone please help !! Appreciate your support

I had the same problem last night with my new FreeSoc2 (ver 11). I set up in win10 with a new installation of Arduino and PSoC Programmer.
I found a solution by using Board Manager to install SAM Boards.
In case you are as rusty as I am with the Arduino app, here is a little more detail....
Hit main menu Tools and hover over Board whatever. You will see a long drop down appear with the available boards, none of which in my case were ARM boards. So I moved over and double clicked on the top line that says Board Manager...and the Board Manager popped up. The second item in the list was Arduino SAM boards (32 bit ARM...). Where is the install button? I just clicked anywhere on the SAM entry and the Install button appeared. The rest was easy.

Hi Dave, Thank you so much. The 1st half worked, at least the complication works. Can you please let me know what was the programmer option you choose to upload the sketch to the board? Thank you for your help. Subu

The bootloader for the FreeSoC2 is designed to operate with the AVR109 protocol, the same thing that Arduino Uno and other similar boards use.
