The package 'toolchain-gccarmlinuxgnueabi' is not available

[ivankravets]

Temporary solution

PlatformIO currently does not support cross-compilation for RaspberryPi and similar boards.
Please use one of:

a) PlatformIO Core directly on a target device
b) PIO Remote and work with your hardware from anywhere in the world.

Attempt to use the arm / raspberrypi platform. gets the error.

Another data point.
I see a similar error on Ubuntu aarch64:

lx@~/Downloads/blinky-light-strip/pio[master !?*] platformio --version
PlatformIO, version 3.3.0
lx@~/Downloads/blinky-light-strip/pio[master !?*] pio run -t build

@hoosierEE your issue has been fixed bc5f23c

Could you re-test?

1. pio platform uninstall linux_arm
2. pio platform install https://github.com/platformio/platform-linux_arm.git

[hoosierEE]

Re-tested, no change.

To be clear, the target device which I want to program is a Teensy 3.5, the host machine (which runs PlatformIO) is Linux ARM aarch64.

[EDIT]
I did another test, changing the platform to atmelavr and board to nanoatmega328, and got a similar failure message:

PackageManager: Installing toolchain-atmelavr @ ~1.40902.0
Error: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement '~1.40902.0' for your system 'linux_aarch64'
