[compile error] Arduino Zero

[deladriere]

I am running the script with

make BOARD=zero

everything run fines until it reaches

cc1: fatal error: build/zero/selfdata.c: No such file or directory
compilation terminated

any ideas to solve this ?

selfdata.c is generated by scripts/gendata.py. When I run the make command above on a fresh clone, the build fails because is there is no python2. Are you seeing that as well?

I maintain https://github.com/adafruit/uf2-samdx1. It is more up-to-date in some respects; we work closely with upstream. I don't see such an error there. We removed the python2 dependency.

Woaw thanks for the update !
Sorry, I should have mentioned that I corrected the script to use Python 3 instead of Python 2, but I'm still encountering the error I mentioned earlier.
in fact, I came here because I was using the Adafruit version: UF2 dragging works fine, but as I code with PlatformIO, I prefer to upload via the emulated serial port. However, this often fails and stops midway (I'm working with my own SAMD21 board), so I plan to compare both (Adafruit and Microsoft). (btw, the classical Arduino bootloader never fails to upload)
