Hello
I Just installed 1.8.3 Arduino IDE and even when I run the Basic Blink sketch example I get this error:
Property line '# See: http://code.google.com/p/arduino/wiki/Platforms' in file /opt/arduino-1.8.3/hardware/arduino/avr/boards.txt is invalid

Error compiling for board Arduino/Genuino Uno.
Now I dont know about (Genuino Uno) but I have a UNO Board for shore.
Even when I switch to my Mega2560 I get the same error.
I Just cant figure out why I'm getting this error.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Cheers!

Why not use the "code" formatting tool available here to post your code directly?
Code: Select all

I didnt think the problem had anything to do with the code. I was basically just running the consoleRead example from the Board optrion in the examples menu in the IDE itself.
the problem started to occur after I did this install step here.
2)Add a “Uno Yun” board type in the file: Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\board.txt. as below and reopen the Arduino IDE:

unoyun.name=Arduino Uno -- Dragino Yún
unoyun.upload.via_ssh=true

unoyun.vid.0=0x2341
unoyun.pid.0=0x0043
unoyun.vid.1=0x2341
unoyun.pid.1=0x0001
unoyun.upload.tool=avrdude
unoyun.upload.protocol=arduino
unoyun.upload.maximum_size=32256
unoyun.upload.maximum_data_size=2048
unoyun.upload.speed=57600
unoyun.upload.disable_flushing=true
unoyun.upload.use_1200bps_touch=true
unoyun.upload.wait_for_upload_port=true

unoyun.bootloader.tool=avrdude
unoyun.bootloader.low_fuses=0xff
unoyun.bootloader.high_fuses=0xde
unoyun.bootloader.extended_fuses=0x05
unoyun.bootloader.file=optiboot/optiboot_atmega328.hex
unoyun.bootloader.unlock_bits=0x3F
unoyun.bootloader.lock_bits=0x0F

unoyun.build.mcu=atmega328p
unoyun.build.f_cpu=16000000L
unoyun.build.board=AVR_YUN
unoyun.build.core=arduino
unoyun.build.variant=standard
after I did this, it didnt matter what code I was running cuzz I still got the same error.
