Building the Elixir Circuits Quickstart firmware fails after mix firmware..

Building the Elixir Circuits Quickstart firmware fails after mix firmware..
is this a bug or something I have not configured correctly?

$ git clone https://github.com/elixir-circuits/circuits_quickstart.git
$ cd circuits_quickstart
$ export MIX_TARGET=rpi0

$ mix deps.get
$ mix firmware

I just tried the same thing for rpi0 and rpi3, and no errors. I'm using Elixir 1.11.2-otp-23 and Erlang 23.1.4. I have a vague memory there was a problem with Nerves and Elixir 1.10. I would try upgrading to 1.11 and see if that helps.

[TheEndIsNear]

I also had this issue, and resolved it by upgrading to Elixir 1.11.

I have a different issue however, when I run ´mix firmware.burn´ I can't get the rpi0 to properly boot.

[layeddie]

I have been having problems running this on the rpi0 as well. Tried different cables, different rpi0's....
But that was with 1.10.

[fhunleth]

This looks like some change between Elixir 1.10 and 1.11's support for mix releases is affecting the project. I'm going to bump the requirement to Elixir 1.11 (see PR #23) since I don't think any of the maintainers use Elixir 1.10 any more.

If you have issues with the Circuits Quickstart, please use the officially built versions and provide more information.

[layeddie]

Now runs on my rpi0 and rpi3. Looks like this has solved my problems with rpi0 yesterday connecting via OTG cable.
