Can't build anything on Raspberry PI

1

Hey all,
I’ve installed VSCode and then installed Platform IO on a Raspberry Pi 4. In the terminal I see this appear after PlatformIO is installed and reloaded…

“Unable to resolve configuration with compilerPath “/home/xxx/.platformio/packages/toolchain-atmelavr/bin/avr-gcc”. Using “/usr/bin/gcc” instead”

In the editor, in main.cpp I get squiggles under #include <Arduino.h> and the following errors:

#include errors detected. Please update your includePath. Squiggles are disabled for this translation unit (/home/xxx/Documents/PlatformIO/Projects/Blink2/src/main.cpp).

cannot open source file “Arduino.h”

When I try build I get the following error in the Terminal:

I’ve tried reinstalling VSCode and PlatformIO. I’ve deleted the .platformio directory in /Home/User

Any advice would be great.

Well that definitely looks like corrupted packages.

Do again a

rm -rf ~/.platformio/packages/toolchain-atmelavr
rm -rf ~/.platformio/packages/framework-arduino-avr
rm -rf ~/.platformio/.cache

and build again. Does it work? If not, what’s the output of

~/.platformio/packages/toolchain-atmelavr/bin/avr-gcc --version
pio system info

on the PlatformIO CLI?

It still didn’t build

~/.platformio/packages/toolchain-atmelavr/bin/avr-gcc --version
bash: /home/xxx/.platformio/packages/toolchain-atmelavr/bin/avr-gcc: No such file or directory

^That file exists, I can navigate there in the file explorer and terminal. If I change directory in the terminal to:
cd ~/.platformio/packages/toolchain-atmelavr/bin

I can then run avr-ar --version and get:

pio command does not work from the terminal

I’m running the 64bit OS on a Raspberry Pi. Doing a bit of googling and I read that 32bit executables will say ‘No such file or directory’ if you try to run them. I couldn’t find a solution though and not sure this is the issue.

Yeah if originally had a 32-bit install of Raspbian and then upgraded to 64-bit it’s game over and the same as in ESP8266: Upload fails - xtensa-lx106-elf-g++: not found - #5 by kdebarb63

I didn’t upgrade to 32bit. This was a clean 64b install.

Then what’s the output of

cd ~/.platformio/packages/toolchain-atmelavr/bin/
ls -lha
ldd avr-g++
df -h /
uname -a
