PlattformIO - detected unknown package

1

Hi there,
I ran into issue with using platformio when attempting to build target for LPC1768.

I enter the nix shell and execute. However I get an error.

$ nix-shell -p platformio
[nix-shell:~/Marlin]$ pio run
Processing LPC1768 (platform: https://github.com/p3p/pio-nxplpc-arduino-lpc176x/archive/0.1.3.zip; board: nxp_lpc1768; framework: arduino)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PackageManager: Installing toolchain-gccarmnoneeabi @ >=1.90000

Error: Detected unknown package 'toolchain-gccarmnoneeabi

Any idea what causes the error? I looked at strace and the error happens inside child process. If necessary I can attach the full strace.

I ran successfully PlatformIO on archlinux so this is probably something specific to NixOS.

I run stable 20.09.

Hi, I’ve seen this problem today when I tried to install PlatformIO, except with with the atmelavr package. Here’s what I did:

  1. add the master channel sudo nix-channel --add https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/master.tar.gz nixpkgs-git;
  2. sudo nix-channel --update;
  3. sudo nix-env -f '<nixpkgs-git>' -iA platformio to install it from the latest git version.
 $ pio project init --ide vim --board uno
Please wait while upgrading PlatformIO...
PlatformIO has been successfully upgraded to 5.0.4!

Thanks @afontain. Updating to the latest version solved the issue.

It also seems that I didn’t attach the version with this issue and one that solves it.
PlatformIO, version 4.3.4 → version 5.0.4

For the record, I’ve also solved my second issue. It was because I
named the assembly file with “.asm” extension instead of “.S”.
