Hello,
I try to install the Arduino toolchain and I get this error
ERROR:
Adding tool failed:
‘gnu_avr_toolchain_7.3.0_32b’
wizard_download_tool().finish(1)
Is there anything to know that I missed ?
In fact, I get a similar problem when I try another toolset (like xtensa esp32)
Thx in advance,
Bert
Hi @Bert75 ,
Welcome to Embeetle!
Thank you for reaching out to us. I looked into your problem, but can’t pinpoint right now the cause (and can’t reproduce it either). I’d need a bit more information. Are you working on Linux or Windows? Could you please record the steps leading to this error? Perhaps you can use this free tool for recording:
We can also plan a remote session. We can use Teamviewer or Chrome Remote Desktop. When would suit you best?
Kind regards,

Hi Kristof,
Thanks for checking this !
I am under Windows 10
I recorded the steps here : https://ftp.alseteam.fr/Embeetle.wmv
Cheers,

Great!
I’m on it. Stay tuned…
Hi @Bert75 ,
I think I know what’s going on.
You’re working on a D:/ drive. I’ve noticed similar issues in the past when Embeetle is working in such a configuration. Sometimes the 7zip extractor causes issues. I think that’s what’s happening here: your download goes just fine, but then the process fails at the extraction phase.
Please move your Embeetle installation to the C:/ drive AND in a location where you have full read-and-write access. Then try again and let me know how it goes 
So sorry for this inconvenience.
Note: The fix we had in mind to tackle this issue for once and for all, is to no longer drop the tools in the
<embeetle_installation>/beetle_tools/directory, but into a~/.embeetle/beetle_tools/directory (with~being the user folder). That should work just fine on both Windows and Linux. The<embeetle_installation>/beetle_tools/is sometimes in a read-only place (or in a place where 7zip extractors have issues to operate).
Hi Kristof,
I’m impressed. It solved the issue, no sweat.
Just tried a blinky on an Arduino nano, it compiled fine. Avrdude fails but it’s a usual problem (in Arduino IDE I have to select “ATMega 328P Old bootloader”).
I wanted to try Embeetle for a much better purpose (RiscV) so mission accomplished to have a nice IDE up and running 
Thx again !
Bert
Hi @Bert75 ,
I’m happy to hear it’s going well now!
Just out of curiosity - which project(s) are you using Embeetle for?
As for RISC-V MCUs, you might like these pages:

Hi Kristof,
I have purchased some goodies at Elecrow including a Tiny Scarab.
FYI : we have more and more FPGA projects involving RiscV and I wanted to educate myself on this architecture.
RISC-V soft cores on FPGA? Great! You need an IDE for programming these softcores?
