Windows 10 bsp installation issue about adafruit_nrf52_arduino HOT 11 CLOSED

couldn't reproduce on my windows 10 laptop !!! User may need to use the manual method !!!!

from adafruit_nrf52_arduino.

Is it possibly related to this being installed on Windows 10 machines? https://www.howtogeek.com/249966/how-to-install-and-use-the-linux-bash-shell-on-windows-10/

I install this ubuntu bash already, along with tons of other linux stuffs like cygwin, mingw msys etc ... maybe this is the reason !!! We can ask user to install unix subsystem to see if that fixes the issue. Though I still have no ideas why Board Manager attempt to run such a command. It should only download & extract the zip file to correct location !!!!!

I will test this out with a new windows 10 in virtual machine. But still, why it happens to this core only ????

I've never seen this either ... I'll have a look through the relevant files here again to see if I spot something again.

Perhaps because of 'mingw' here: https://github.com/adafruit/arduino-board-index/blob/gh-pages/package_adafruit_index.json#L1441

possibly, not entirely sure though. But look like the potential cause

Is there anyway we can test without changing that file online since it will affect all the users ???

Hmm, I think you are right i686-mingw32 look likes a 32bit or something. If Mingw is not installed, it falls back to other ARCH possibly Linux.

I take that back. Look like i686-mingw32 is normal, Arduino package json file also uses that. Must be something else :(

caused by symlink in nrfjprog tool for linux & osx. Windows does not like those link much.
