Setup under test:
Board - Raspberry Pi 3 B+
OS - Raspbian Stretch with desktop and recommended software (Version:November 2018, Release date:2018-11-13)
IDE: Arduino IDE 1.8.8 (Linux ARM)
Arduino Board: Mega 2560
In order to capture the screen action, I remote control the Raspberry Pi from Windows 10 via VNC viewer.
The steps is very straightforward:
- Visit Arduino Download page, download Arduino IDE of Linux ARM.
- After download completed, extract the downloaded file.
- Run the install script:
$ sudo ./install.sh
- After finished, you can run the Arduino IDE in Raspbian desktop Menu -> Programming -> Arduino IDE.
In my case the following error reported when run install.sh:
touch: cannot touch '/root/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list': No such file or directory
/usr/bin/xdg-mime: 803: /usr/bin/xdg-mime: cannot create /root/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list.new: Directory nonexistent
It may be caused by mis-located of the file mimeapps.list. Actually the install.sh only add the desktop shortcut, menu item and file associations for Arduino IDE. This error should not affect the functionality. Alternatively, you can run the IDE by switch to the extracted directory, and run the arduino directly.
Add Arduino core for ESP8266 WiFi chip to Arduino IDE:
Arduino core for ESP8266 WiFi chip brings support for ESP8266 chip to the Arduino environment. It lets you write sketches using familiar Arduino functions and libraries, and run them directly on ESP8266, no external microcontroller required.
ESP8266 Arduino core comes with libraries to communicate over WiFi using TCP and UDP, set up HTTP, mDNS, SSDP, and DNS servers, do OTA updates, use a file system in flash memory, work with SD cards, servos, SPI and I2C peripherals.
Once Arduino IDE installed, you can follow the same steps in my old post to "Add Arduino core for ESP8266 to Arduino IDE (run on Raspberry Pi/Raspbian Jessie with PIXEL)".

Arduino core for ESP32 WiFi chip is another similar project to bring support of ESP32 to Arduino IDE. It can be installed to Arduino IDE by following the same step on normal PC. But, I tried to install it to Arduino IDE on Raspberry Pi, it fail due to "Tool xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc is not available for your operating system"!
