Hello @ScruffR,

Perfect. Your help solved this issue. It compiles just fine once the target device is selected. I recently added another device and had not figured out how to target one versus another.

With **no** device selected (i.e. no yellow star on the devices pane) the compiler defaults to spark, just as you pointed out.

By clicking the star on the left hand side of a device, it selects that device for compilation and targeting. That selection includes the target-specific libraries during compiling and linking. I didn’t know `platform-0` means spark and `platform-31` means Raspberry Pi. Good to know.

Image illustrating the selection:

Thanks for the careful consideration and discovering this problem.

Marc
