"Unsupported platform" error with BLE Nano

[sandeepmistry]

@ncr

Is BLE Nano supposed to work stand-alone or only as an add-on to an Arduino UNO (or similar) board?

It's suppose to work stand-alone.

I can reproduce the error with Arduino IDE 1.6.6, but 1.6.5 is fine:

1.6.5

Something has changed between IDE versions, -DNRF51 is no longer passed in. BLEPeripheral use this define to determine nRF51822 or nRF8001 compile mode.

It is set in platforms.txt here: https://github.com/RedBearLab/nRF51822-Arduino/blob/S130/arduino-1.6.x/hardware/RBL/RBL_nRF51822/platform.txt#L20

A workaround for now is to use 1.6.5 of the IDE until this is resolved in this library or the RBL core.

[ncr]

Thanks for the info, this made me happy, BLEPeripheral API is much nicer than the rest :) I'll try to debug this issue, though my experience is a bit lacking.

From 1.6.6 Changelog:

• Introducing arduino-builder, a command line tool that properly calls gcc. Fixes lots of issues about buggy preprocessing.

[ncr]

I have tried Arduino 1.6.7 hourly build and the issue disappears. However, to compile successfully I had to add /core/ to the paths used by the combining step of compilation: ncr/nRF51822-Arduino@2ad87fe. Not sure why.

[sandeepmistry]

@ncr awesome progress so far!

Any suggestions on how to move forward? Are you planning on submitting a pull request to RBL?

What error do you get without using your forked version?

[ncr]

Without the patch, the following lengthy line fails because both syscalls.c.o and startup_nrf51822.c.o are placed in the {build.path}/core directory.

@ncr thanks!

I belive RBL is no longer supporting the master branch and S130 is published via the board manager. @Cheong2K is this correct?

[Cheong2K]

We support S130 branch and will add to the board manager very soon for the 1.6.6 IDE.

[ncr]

@sandeepmistry Glad to be of help!

[KTibow]

I'm still getting this. I'm trying to use GitHub actions with this workflow. Does anybody know how to fix this problem?

[KTibow]

Never mind, I was running code in the examples, I just removed that code.
