relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR_13_PCREL against `no symbol'

[ArminJo]

With 2.4.2 this example compiles well, with 2.5.2 I get the error you can see here

Yes I was just alerted to this I will be releasing 2.5.3 with a fix shortly.

[SpenceKonde]

This is now available in board manager release.

[hmeijdam]

This is now available in board manager release.
I think the new JSON for 2.5.3 may not have been pulled to the webserver.

[ArminJo]

I also cannot find this version in Board Manager.

[SpenceKonde]

Your diagnosis is correct, I had forgotten to push it.

[ArminJo]

I am very sorry, but the error still exists 😞 see here

[mechatroniks-git]

Confirmed, I'm still getting the PCREL with 2.5.3.

[SpenceKonde]

Can either of you test with github version? (I can't reproduce the error here)

[mechatroniks-git]

To use the GITHUB version, do I follow one of these instructions?

• https://github.com/SpenceKonde/megaTinyCore/blob/master/Installation.md

• https://www.electronics-lab.com/project/getting-started-with-the-new-attiny-chips-programming-the-microchips-0-series-and-1-series-attiny-with-the-arduino-ide/

[mechatroniks-git]

I created a portable installation per your instructions, getting this:

[SpenceKonde]

Can you post the code that is generating this error?

I don't know how to deal with and have never seen that error;

[mechatroniks-git]

I think my portable setup is not quite right, but this will fail on my non-portable Arduino, running 2.5.3 from boards manager, not github's latest.

[SpenceKonde]

Okay, I've found the problem and will do another release tonight

[SpenceKonde]

2.5.4 should now be in boardmanager. It was a stupid error - I'd written 0x8192 instead of 8192

[mechatroniks-git]

@SpenceKonde I think the new JSON for 2.5.4 may not have been pulled to the webserver.

[SpenceKonde]

It is now, I managed to not update it in a slightly different way this time.
