Location of boards.txt for an Arduino DUE (SAM board)


I use the 1.6.7 Arduino IDE and I’ve installed the "Arduino SAM Boards (32-bits ARM Cortex-M3)" item for my DUE board, and it works fine.

However, I would like to tune some build parameters in my boards.txt file. Problem: I do not have a INSTALL/hardware/arduino/sam folder! I do have the traditional INSTALL/hardware/arduino/avr folder, but in this one boards.txt does not contain the settings for the DUE.


Solution

  • The mystery folder can be found in the Arduino15 directory, which is located under the home folder (not Arduino's install folder; that would be too easy). You can see the path in the Preferences (see below). The boards.txt file is in Arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\sam\1.6.6.
