Error: Could not find LD script and then more issues

lakid · July 15, 2019, 11:23am

Hi,
So i’ve got a PIO remote environment working fine for Arduino with an ATMega328PB.
Can upload via USBASP and view the serial port output, all good.

Now, when I try the most basic code

#include <Arduino.h>
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
Serial.println("Hello");
}

[env:d1_mini_pro]
platform = espressif8266
board = d1_mini_pro
framework = arduino
upload_port=/dev/ttyUSB0

for an Arduino/WEMOS D1 mini pro, I run into two different issues (it compiles and uploads locally fine).
1st issue i get is a “Could not find LD script”

> Executing task in folder d1_mini_test: platformio remote run --target upload <

Now I can find plenty of references to similar errors out there, but all have seemed to mysteriously fixed themselves with a make clean and/or re-install.
I’ve totally reinstalled PIO on the remote rasbpbi and I’ve added and removed the esp8266 platform on the local box with no joy.
This happened with Core4.0 and the previous version (3.6.7 ?)
Everything is up to date as far as I can see.

Love the product, any ideas or thoughts ?

pfeerick · July 16, 2019, 12:44am

I’m actually more confused as to why this is needed on the remote… my understanding was that the file was built locally, and then only the binary blob would need to be copied to the remote and then uploaded… hence the LD script should be needed on the remote? So why is it trying to link it there (without specifying --force-remote and making it so it compiles on the remote) in the first place?

The second post in the issue references a possible workaround, but I still don’t quite understand what’s going on there…

bug

I have following setup: Platformio installed on Raspberry Pi and gen4iod board c…onnected to the Raspberry via USB. I run remote agent on the Raspberry. When I try to upload firmware remotely from my PC, it ends with the error: ``` ================================================================== [SUCCESS] Took 6.25 seconds ================================================================== Uploading firmware remotely Processing gen4iod (platform: espressif8266; board: gen4iod; framework: arduino) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Verbose mode can be enabled via `-v, --verbose` option Error: Could not find LD script =================================================================== [ERROR] Took 1.79 seconds =================================================================== The terminal process terminated with exit code: 1 ``` When I compile exactly the same project locally on the Raspberry and upload it locally (with `pio run --target upload`), it uploads the firmware to the board without any problems. I'm using PlatformIO, version 4.0.0 and espressif8266 @ 2.2.2

Yes, thanks but the --force-remote just leads me to issue number 2…grrrr
