I'm working on windows with CLion. I'm trying to build the hello world example and I've followed the steps outlined here: Inside Playdate with C

My settings look like this:

The download link for gcc-arm-none-eabi isn't very helpful so I wonder if I could have downloaded the wrong version of that? Ether way I'd be very greatful for some help.

It does look like perhaps you grabbed the wrong version. I have GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain 10 2021.10. Make sure to also grab the 64 bit version.

I've found a release page for the version you referenced but it lacks a 64 bit version. Downloads | 10.3-2021.10 – Arm Developer I've searched elsewhere without any luck. Can you tell me more specifically where to find the correct version?

I've made a little progress. The problem I was having originally was caused by me acidentally deleting the Source directory for the hello world example. The build process now runs to completion and produces a directory named hello_world.pdx containing pdex.bin and pdx.info. I've tried opening this in the simulator and it won't work sadly. I'm guessing it's to do with the fact that I still don't have the 64 bit toolchain. If you have a link for that it would be really useful.

I'll post the simulator error here but it isn't very helpful:

22:51:39: Loading: C:\Users\Matthew\Desktop\PlaydateProjects\Hello World\hello_world.pdx\
22:51:39: Loading: Failed
Load failed, error: (null)

You're building for the device. You need to remove the cmake tool chain file arg from cmake to build for the sim.

That was it! thanks very much.

I was thinking of the simulator as an emulator. Clearly that's not the case.
