Add arduino 101 board into LinuxArm download to be able to upload sketches from raspberry pi

@bdavis721 ,

Would like to know if you were asking a question.

[bdavis721]

Sorry about the confusing issue. I wanted the ability to add the intel curie boards into the arduino ide for the Linux Arm operating systems because I have an arduino 101 that I want to upload sketches to from a raspberry pi 3 but I cannot download that board in the board manager because the "tool arc-elf32" is not available for my os.

Let me if this is what you want to do:

1. You want to use your Raspberry Pi as the computing platform that is running a Linux/ARM OS.
2. Install the Arduino IDE on that platform so that,
3. You can upload sketches to your Arduino 101 board.

Please note that the Arduino IDE runs on Ubuntu 14.04 OS. Not sure if that is the OS you have on your Raspberry Pi. If not, that would be the first issue to overcome.

Yes that is what I want to do. I was able to install the most up to date arduino IDE on the pi. I am running Raspbian Jessie but when I go to install the curie board on the IDE i get an error saying "tool arc-elf32 is not available for my os." I've been checking around and the closest thing to a solution I found was here http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=428145.0 but I dont know what steps to take to do this.

Ok... This is something the IDE folks may help. You may have to manually the tool chain.

[bdavis721]

I need help manually configuring the tool chain please.

@SidLeung if you are going to merge #475, the only tool not yet packaged for ARM Linux will be the toolchain, indeed.
Since there are no instructions anywhere about where the sources are I guessed they were generated by the official ARC toolchain (https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain) but I'm not 100% sure. Could you confirm that?

[facchinm]

Attached you can find the (unstripped) toolchain for armv7 targeting arc32. It was compiled from the aforementioned repository with /build-all.sh --no-uclibc --no-pdf . It is completely untested so don't use it for anything critical 😄

Thanks, I'm working on my senior design project and it would be critical so I think I will wait until they update it with a stable version for all my hobbies.

[facchinm]

If you could test it and give us a feedback it would surely speedup the process 😉

@facchinm I'm willing to test your compiled toolchain on raspberry pi. I've downloaded it and extracted it but I'm not sure where the files should be placed or how my environment should be modified so the IDE can find it. Would you be able to provide any direction on this?
