Will 7.2 be built for x86 linux?

[SpenceKonde]

Need to know what to tell someone who is asking whether ATTinyCore 2.0.0 will support 32-bit x86 linux, and realized that if it's not being built, I would have to formally drop support for x86 Linux on all of my cores if I am to upgrade to 7.2 too

Hmm. Where do you get the idea that 32bit Linux is not supported?

Reference: avrdude project does not provide Linux or macOS binary

• Linux and macOS releases are missing -- static linking version preferred (Low Priority) #987

avrdude project provides Windows x86/x64/ARM64 binaries for avrdude 7.1 release. Same for the upcoming 7.2 release.
https://github.com/avrdudes/avrdude/releases/tag/v7.1

Arduino avrdude-packaging project provides avrdude 7.1 binary, which include 32bit Linux x86 binary and 64bit Linux x64 binary. They only provide 32bit Windows binary. I am not so sure how fast they will provide the 7.2 release binaries.

That's good to to hear, though the fact that it won't be immediately available - I don't know what to do about that? Delay the core? Release the core only for some architectures pending release of the tools? What would you suggest?

I absolutely get complaints whenever x86 linux is missing as it is in some avrdude builds from Arduino.

The plan is to release avrdude 7.2 some time in July 2023. Just wondering what will be the time line for avrdude-packaging project to catch up with 7.2 release. I understand that it may take some time for testing.

[umbynos]

Hey @mcuee! We'll try to be as fast as possible.

[SpenceKonde]

Arduino tests stuff before they release it? Coulda fooled me.

In the mean time, you can give my test build a try, which is based on the same container and toolchain from Arduino avrdude-packing project. It has the binary build for Linux x86/x64/ARMv6/ARM64, macOS x64 and WIndows x86.

When avrdude 7.2 gets released, I will create un-official binaries like what I did for 7.1 release.
