Arduino compile error Ameba RTL8722DM mini

Technical Discussion Arduino SDK

Hi,

After having fixed an virus error (2x), I am now getting another error. I am trying to compile the Blink application and get the following message:
exec: “rm”: executable file not found in %PATH%
Error compiling for board RTL8722DM_MINI.

Using Arduino 1.18.12 but also tried 1.8.16 (on a different computer) same result.
Any idea what the issue might be? Regards, RH

Hi @rh230021

Can you provide more information? there is insufficient information to determine what the issue is.
In Arduino, you can turn on verbose output in File → Preferences, and provide a complete log of what Arduino prints out when compiling.

Also, some information on the computer systems you have tested on would be helpful as well, such as the OS.

Hi @rh230021
To solve this issue,

  1. Please navigate to your arduino packages directory and locate platform.txt file under the following path,

    C:\Users"YourUserName"\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\realtek\hardware\AmebaD\3.0.9

  2. Open platform.txt and search for “Export bin” keyword, delete the lines under this section and save

  3. Re-start your Arduino IDE and this issue should be solved
