I'm trying to use a Raspbrry Pi model B to program an esp8266 01, using Arduino IDE 1.6.5.
After succesfully installing the IDE an the esp8266 module, I didn't get the Blink example compiled. These were the errors:

Code: Select allArduino: 1.6.5 (Linux), Board: "Generic ESP8266 Module, Serial, 80 MHz, 40MHz, DIO, 115200, 512K (64K SPIFFS)"

Error compiling.


I don't know if this is really a bug or if I am missing something, but can't find nothing on the internet.

PS: before the first found word at the code above, there were some strange characters that could not be pasted.
PS 2: I am using debian Jessie

Dude there is official Arduino 1.6.9 Arm Linux edition. Just download it and, follow standard instruction for ESP8266 board install.

Even if "Arduino 1.6.9 Arm Linux edition" exist, that doesn't means that "xtensa-lx106-elf-gcc" for ARM exist. It need to be cross-compiled.

I personally tested and it works. (Compilation, upload etc.) But can not be installed in normal user mode, because it can not create the folders required. So go, superuser.
I guess someone did compile it for arm.
