Description denverh 2019-12-01 20:42:46 UTC

There should be menu items for a Library Manager and a Boards Manager but they don't appear.  They're normally at the top of "Sketch->Include Library" and "Tools->Board".

pkg info -Ix arduino18
arduino18-1.8.5_1

FreeBSD 11.3-RELEASE-p3

java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_232"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_232-b09)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.232-b09, mixed mode)

I also checked this on a fresh 11.3 system with a minimum number of applications all installed from quarterly packages with the same result.

Hi,

Indeed. =-( All of the bits that download additional items were ripped out for now until I figured out how to reconcile with an upstream that didn't/doesn't officially support FreeBSD because supported platforms are somewhat baked into most of that stuff. I haven't made any further progress on that, unfortunately, and haven't found a good way to argue that they should support FreeBSD.

Ok, thanks.  I did try looking at the code a while ago to try to figure out what might be happening, but it was too convoluted for me to follow.

Indeed. =( And apologies- my previous comment should have been more constructive. Is there a specific board/library you're looking for?

They tend to be super easy to port independently, as it's usually just copying some files into staging at the right location.

Comment 4 denverh 2019-12-02 13:58:39 UTC

Libraries are easy enough, but I haven't always had much luck with boards.  Right now one that would be helpful would be the Adafruit Pro Trinket 5V/16 MHz (USB).

That board looks incredibly nifty, not going to lie. =-)

I see they have the board support at [0], so I'll look at porting it over and add a patch to this PR -- it might take a couple of days to get paged in between some other work I'm doing at the moment.

Ok thanks, I appreciate it.

SparkFun Pro Micro and clones would be useful too, config is at
