SAMD boards package 1.8.12 breaks OTA?

[stealth-ultd]

Just upgraded to SAMD boards package 1.8.12 – this seems to break OTA. (Also updated: Adafruit_BusIO, Adafruit_LED_Backpack_Library, Time)

Behaviour: After the pop-up for password input, the compiler enters a loop (back to pop-up), and displays the following errors:

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "{tools.arduino_ota.cmd}": error=2, No such file or directory

Interestingly, rolling back to 1.8.11 does not resolve the issue, but gives a different set of errors:

fatal error: runtime: bsdthread_register error

Removing and reinstalling ArduinoOTA does not resolve the issue.

Much appreciate the OTA feature, so hopefully, this can get fixed :-)

I can't test it right now with 'network port', but I could test that the method with a fake programmer works. I recommend it.
https://github.com/jandrassy/ArduinoOTA#ota-upload-from-ide-without-network-port

note: if you use upload with programmer you can suppress the network port propagation with #define NO_OTA_PORT before #include <ArduinoOTA.h>

is it this problem arduino/ArduinoCore-samd#656 ?

[stealth-ultd]

Thanks for looking into this. I can test the 'network port' method after the weekend (right now I am out of town). Will be back on this.

From what I understand the "Fix legacy upload.network_pattern rules" is not the same issue. It is related to the update to Arduino Java IDE 1.8.16, while I am using Arduino IDE 1.8.13 with SAMD 1.8.12.

Will now try the fake programmer method.

it is an issue of 1.8.12 SAMD which was released 20 days ago.

For this to be properly resolved ("out of the box"), do we have to wait for an update to the SAMD package?

(I see that in 1.8.12 SAMD platforms.txt the "# Arduino OTA" section is already included, but different from the code suggested in ArduinoOTA/extras/samd/platform.local.txt)

yes

(I see that in 1.8.12 SAMD platforms.txt the "# Arduino OTA" section is already included, but different from the code suggested in ArduinoOTA/extras/samd/platform.local.txt)

the SAMD package has support for 'network port' OTA so extras/platform.local.txt only adds support for the fake programmer

I have the same issue. IDE of 1.8.13, boards as above 1.8.12 as the latest one
When I go "fake programmer" I get the message: missing configuration parameter "program.params.verbose" and the upload stops
This is with the nano33iot
With the ESP8266 the system is working fine
I had the 1.8.12 package under "hardware" still installed/kept over and did not see the new programmers - only after the 1.8.12 folder was deleted. Maybe some other leftovers block the system?
