Unable to flash sketch to XMC2GO on Linux about xmc-for-arduino HOT 12 CLOSED

After doing

ln -s /opt/SEGGER/JLink/libjlinkarm.so /usr/lib/libjlinkarm.so

I was able to flash sketch to board.

Sorry for the delayed reply to your issue and thank you very much for reporting this problem.

The mentioned problem is strange as we changed the search paths for the flasher some time ago and we thought the problem has been fixed.
We will test it again and try to find out where the problem comes from.

Best regards,

Creating the symbolic link from @PabloPL's comment fixes the problem.

Seems that without having the symlink, the uploader tries to load the 32-bit library and this fails on 64-bit systems:

$ ./arduino

Maybe this helps to fix the issue.

Is this resolved with release V1.1.1 using newer gcc version?

If not should this be added to Wiki for installation or older version installation?

Well perhaps we need to add to Wiki the fix suggested by PabloPL above of

"After doing

Soon we should be able to use PlatformIO - https://github.com/Infineon/platformio-infineonxmc

Is this resolved with release V1.1.1 using newer gcc version?

I think problem is with XMCFlasher, not with gcc version. For some reason, it's not able to correctly load/use JLink software to flash board.

On my ubuntu install Segger JLink is installed (using deb package from theirs website)
into /opt/SEGGER/JLink directory. If adding symlink in /usr/lib/ fixes problem, maybe it's because XMCFlasher is not searching for libjlinkarm.so inside that directory (/opt)?

Well I have added a note about this on my Wiki for my fork of the package at

https://github.com/techpaul/XMC-for-Arduino/wiki/Linux-64-bit-Flasher-to-board

Until the Segger installation gets resolved

from xmc-for-arduino.

@techpaul Is there repo for XMCFlasher so we could for example create PR with fix ? This looks like something very easy to do.

from xmc-for-arduino.

Also @mhollfelder

There is no repo for this to my knowledge.

As this is an Infineon utility based or wholly part of the Segger JLink family, this has to be passed up the support chain for the Linux 64 bit installer to be fixed. Or part of the package beyond what I see being fixed

from xmc-for-arduino.

Since it seems to be a segger- or XMCFlasher-related problem, I'll close this issue.

Since PlatformIO does not depend on XMCFlasher, if this does not happen with PIO, it should de a problem of XMCFlasher (which to my knowledge is not open-sourced).
