When I try to upload a simple sketch to the Arduino 101, I get the following error on Mac M1 (macOS Monterey)

Error compiling for board Arduino/Genuino 101.

[per1234]

I received multiple reports of this bug from customers and can personally reproduce it. I'll share my findings here:

Describe the problem

Compilation of any sketch for the Arduino 101 board fails with a bsdthread_register or segmentation fault error when using a computer with a recent version of macOS.

This is caused by the arduino101load tool dependency having been built with an old version of Go:

https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/MacOS12BSDThreadRegisterIssue

To reproduce

Required equipment

• Mac computer with a recent version of macOS (Monterey or newer).

Steps

1. Select File > New Sketch from the Arduino IDE menus.
2. Select Arduino IDE > Settings
3. Check the box next to "Show verbose output during: ☐ compilation".
   ⓘ This step is not required. It is added so that the specific compilation command triggering the error can be seen in the output.
4. Select Tools > Board > Intel Curie Boards > Arduino/Genuino 101 from the Arduino IDE menus.
5. Select Sketch > Verify/Compile from the Arduino IDE menus.

🐛 Compilation fails:

signal: segmentation fault

Compilation error: signal: segmentation fault

Expected behavior

Compilation of valid sketches for Arduino 101 board is possible users of modern macOS machines.

Additional context

The above demo was on an Apple Silicon-based Mac machine running the Rosetta 2 interpreter because that is the only machine I have access to, but the same problem also occur on an x86 Mac, as reported by users of the Arduino 101 board:

• https://forum.arduino.cc/t/compilation-error-exit-status-2/1079262
• https://forum.arduino.cc/t/arduino-ide-is-not-working-with-intel-curie-board-on-macos/1046077

On the x86 machine, the error message is a bit more verbose:

[per1234]

Good news everyone! This bug has been fixed in the latest 2.0.6 release of the "Intel Curie Boards" platform. The error should no longer occur after you use the Arduino IDE Boards Manager to install or update to version 2.0.6.

---

A note about the "Intel Curie Boards" 2.0.6 release: this release is identical to 2.0.5 except for updating the arduino:arduino101load tool dependency to version 2.0.3. Since it was done by a team not involved in the maintenance of this repository and only required changes to the package index file hosted in another repository, a 2.0.6 tag hasn't been pushed to this repo yet.

[facchinm]

@per1234 tag 2.0.6 pushed, closing this issue 🙂
