Mac Catalina 10.15.1 (19B88) [bad CPU type in executable error]

[baseljd]

I tried the latest Arduino Create Agent on Mac Catalina 10.15.1 (19B88). I am getting the error below.

Start command: fork/exec /Users/Username/.arduino-create/arduino/avrdude/6.3.0-arduino14/bin/avrdude: bad CPU type in executable

There was a similar problem for the Arduino IDE, but it was fixed in this PR 8976.

Is there a similar fix for the Arduino Create Agent? I am guessing the Agent needs an updated Avrdude 6.3.0-arduino17 instead of 6.3.0-arduino14.

I tried taking it from the Arduino IDE and replacing it in .arduino-create, but no luck.

Hi @baseljd, any chance you can provide us the agent's version?

[baseljd]

Hello @gvarisco ,

Agent version: 1.1.98-fcf6b6d downloaded from here

I have the same issue (also Mac Catalina) using agent 1.1.101-318de37

[lukevink]

Also have the same issue on Catalina, tried manually updating as well, no joy :-(

ditto - agent 1.1.101-318de37

Seeing this on {"Version" : "1.1.101"}

Same here - agent 1.1.101-318de37

Ditto - 1.1 from here

I've compared package index changes in PR8976 described by @baseljd .
The version changes of package indexes in https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/pull/8976/files#diff-fe2506017d5743b1f425f8c1a70c2dfe are not applied to https://downloads.arduino.cc/packages/package_index.json and https://github.com/arduino/arduino-create-agent/blob/devel/v2/pkgs/testdata/package_index.json (Not sure if this matters because the file path contains testdata.
Avr and avr-gcc are outdated(1.6.2 instead of the 1.8.1(or newer))
Here is part of diffs between two package indexes:
avrdude in https://downloads.arduino.cc/packages/package_index.json :

{
  "packager": "arduino",
  "name": "avrdude",
  "version": "6.0.1-arduino3"
}

avrdude in https://github.com/facchinm/Arduino/blob/3af92cdfc8a90874461f021bdc397c29a78dd23f/hardware/package_index_bundled.json :

{
   "packager": "arduino",
   "name": "avrdude",
   "version": "6.3.0-arduino17"
},

Updating package index might fix this bug?

Same here - please fix this bug - agent 1.1.101-318de37, latest macOS Catalina...

@QiuFeng54321 https://downloads.arduino.cc/packages/package_index.json contains the right packages. Tool dependencies for avr code 1.8.1 :
