Trying to create OTA file unsuccessfully

Hello,
I'm trying to load FW to my Ganglion board by following the Ganglion Programming Tutorial.
I've successfully downloaded the Simblee board files and added it to Arduino IDE.
I've also added the required files (mkdfuzip, nrfutil_macosx, platform.txt) to the Simblee path stated on the tutorial (and changed the original platform name to platform_NORMAL), but when trying to use the "Export compiled binary" option on Arduino, I get the following error:
"exec: "C:\Users\r&d\Documents\Arduino\hardware\Simblee\1.1.4/{compiler.zip.cmd}": file does not exist
Error compiling for board Simblee."
Has anyone encountered this before?

Thanks in advance,
Lioz

    Lioz, hi.

    Just off the top of my head, could this be an issue with the Windows path you referenced:

    I get the following error:
    "exec: "C:\Users\r&d\Documents\Arduino\hardware\Simblee\1.1.4/{compiler.zip.cmd}": file does not exist

    I see a forward slash in there, at the end, whereas Windows usually only wants backslashes as path separators. Some aspect of the build chain might be confused.

    Regards, William

    Hi William,

    I also thought this could be the issue. But I don't know why is it appearing this way.
    I think the platform file determines this path automatically. I didn't state the path myself, it was acquired during the compilation trial..

    Do you know maybe if I could/should change anything on the platform file, in order to solve this?

    Thanks

    Do you see a "compiler.zip.cmd" file in that path?

    I found the lines on the platform file which assign the path and the complier.zip.cmd file to mkdfuzip. (the line was commented on the file by "##" at the beginning of the line). But now, after receiving the correct path with a backslash and mkdfuzip as the "compiler.zip.cmd", I get the following error:
    "exec: "C:\Users\Lioz Steinbuch\Documents\Arduino\hardware\Simblee\1.1.4\mkdfuzip": file does not exist
    Error compiling for board Simblee."
    Even though the file does exist there.
    Not sure what's the problem.

    Windows pathnames cannot contain spaces. Could the space in your username be confusing the script?

    The problem may be that this script is not optimized for unusual cases. Was not the username 'r&d' in the previous examples?

    yes. it was. I tried a different pc.
    I'll try checking this.

    by the way, I could still upload FW using a ftdi serial device, right?
