bug(arduino): cannot open linker script file nrf52840_s140_v7.ld

[fusetim]

Description

I'm trying to build a simple sketch for a new board I just received, a Seeed XIAO nRF52840.
Unfortunately, when compiling with the appropriate arduino profile, the compilation fails as apparently one file is missing for the linking phase.

This error happens using both arduino-cli and arduino-ide.

$ arduino-cli compile --profile seeed .
The library FindHub has been automatically added from sketch project.
The library NimBLE-Arduino has been automatically added from sketch project.

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Used library   Version Path
FindHub        0.0.1   /home/fusetim/dev/bigproject/lib/FindHub
NimBLE-Arduino 2.3.6   /home/fusetim/.arduino15/internal/NimBLE-Arduino_2.3.6_0eaa1031c74dd31f/NimBLE-Arduino

Used platform  Version Path

Error during build: exit status 1

Steps to reproduce

For Arduino-IDE:

1. Create a new Arduino sketch (for instance, using the Blink example)
2. Install the additional boards (platform_index_url: https://h2zero.github.io/n-able-Arduino/package_n-able_boards_index.json)
3. Select the Seeed XIAO nRF52840 board
4. Compile the sketch
5. Stare at the error logs...

/home/fusetim/.arduino15/packages/h2zero/tools/gcc-arm-none-eabi/9.3.1-1/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/9.3.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: cannot open linker script file nrf52840_s140_v7.ld: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
exit status 1

Compilation error: exit status 1

For Arduino-CLI:

1. Create a new sketch directory and a .ino file (for instance Blink)
2. Create the following sketch.yaml project configuration

profiles:
  seeed:
    fqbn: h2zero:arm-ble:seed52840sense
    platforms:
      - platform: h2zero:arm-ble
        platform_index_url: https://h2zero.github.io/n-able-Arduino/package_n-able_boards_index.json
    libraries: []
    port: /dev/ttyACM0
    port_config:
      baudrate: 115200

3. Build using arduino-cli compile --profile seeed .
4. Stare at the exact same error.

Expected result

The project should hopefully compile correctly.
