Trying to run arduino ide and proffieboard plugin on steam deck OS

Afrojedi · June 6, 2026, 12:21am

hI PEEPS,

so my steamdeck os has a desktop mode but the commands to run on linux don’t work cause apt-get is not a thing on arch linux.

I get this error though

FQBN: proffieboard:stm32l4:ProffieboardV2-L433CC

This is because of missing i386 support.

You must either add i386 support to your system, or the tools (dfu-suffix and openocd) have to be recompiled to work on arm64 without emulation.

I don’t have a steam deck, or an archlinux installation (which I think is what steamos is based on), and I don’t know what commands are needed to add i386 support (assuming that is even possible.) If you figure it out, let me know, or update the documentation on the POD.

Adding statically compiled arm64 tools is probably not that hard either, it’s just a matter of getting the sources and compiling them with the right flags to reduce dependencies as much as possible.

Maybe this site/page can help?

thanks for update, I’ll look into it.
