[fedora-arm] Adding pcDuino support to Fedora 23's ardunio ide

[Robert Moskowitz]

I got the Arduino ide 1.64 from the testing repo working, and worked out
that Linksprite did a special build of arduino ide for their board. I
found on github:

https://github.com/liaods/pcduino-arduino-ide

And I am hoping there is some way to add files to the F23 rpm and not
have to do a build for Fedora, as this github build is for some other
distro :)

So far I have not identified a specific file to include or modify. No
response on the Linksprite forum, considering how few people are on that
forum, I am not supprised. Anyway, if anyone here has worked with
adding boards to arduino ide or know where instructions are, my
searching is not taking me where I need to go.

thanks for all help.

The standard process for this would be to get them to submit their
changes upstream to the primary project then we just consume it in the
version it lands in. It quickly becomes almost impossible to try and
juggle patches from dozens of different forks.

Understand. This afternoon, I found the following over on adafruit:

https://learn.adafruit.com/add-boards-arduino-v164/overview

And 1.6.4 is the version in Fedora testing that I am working with. Now
to follow this instruction and see if it works!

Much better if Arduino makes it easy to add more boards...

Yes, that looks like a much better approach (finally!) and likely
means that new device support could be packaged and hence maintained
separately which will make it much easier to support a diverse set of
devices.
