Thanks @Wenn0101! Great to see all the fixes.

Thanks for your contributions to this release!

v1.2.2 is coming next i'll bring in your other PR and probably a couple other small fixes.

Received the update today in Arduino IDE. The update went without issues. However, when downgrading again to 2.0.6 you get the known problem #377 as the name of the tar-file is the same. The problem does not happen when you update to 2.1.0 as the tar-file is (much :-)) smaller.

The downloaded the tar-file is 173,1MB, extracting that and then creating a new tar-file (same extensions) gives a size of 101.8Mb (Ubuntu 20.4). So you can make it even smaller with a different compress utility.. AND by removing the MBED-OS/targets-folders for different boards than Apollo3, which are NOT used at all you save another 513MB (or about 25 MB in the tar-file). That way the tar-file would 'only' be ~75MB (instead of 173Mb) and the real board library footprint is reduced to ~232MB instead of ~746MB.

Last point (cosmetic) there is an empty Arduino_Apollo3.tar.gz in the boards-library installed with V 2.1.0.

I will try to remove the unwanted targets, and maybe some unused features in future releases.

where is that empty Arduino_Apollo3.tar.gz you mentioned? I don't see it :D

[paulvha]

thanks
The empty tar is in root directory of the boards library: .arduino15/packages/SparkFun/hardware/apollo3/2.1.0/Arduino_Apollo3.tar.gz

Paul

OH sure enough there it is, how did that get there 😳.
I'll make sure not to include that in the next one!

hahaha .. it is only cosmetic..
