This was the part i feared the most!  I have followed the instructions and am stuck on the  CrOS software upload.  Gives me an Error and now I am stuck I can glue but have no clue about coding HELP!

C:\Users\MARKW\Downloads\cros\cros.ino:14:10: fatal error: cros_core.h: No such file or directory
 #include "cros_core.h"
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

exit status 1

Compilation error: cros_core.h: No such file or directory

//==========================================================
// cros.ino
//
// The 'kernel' of the CrOS is called "The Core"
//
// Version 0.99c - October 2018
//

#include "cros_core.h"
#include "cros_constants.h"
#include "cros_types.h"

//======================================
// Allocate the core object right here
// on the heap so that the Arduino IDE
// is more correct about how much memory
// the CrOS software when this is reported
// after a successful compile
//======================================
CCrowboxCore g_crOSCore;

I can help more tomorrow. I would imagine you are following these steps:


Make sure you are extracting and keeping all files in the same folder/directory.

When you open up the .ino file in Arduino IDE make sure you see the other files listed in Tabs at the top.

Thanks,
MK

Mark,
Do you see anything like this? 
Note: I am using the newest IDE, but the older version should be similar. 

Make sure you have the correct board selected. Are you using a genuine Arduino or a cheaper clone?

To add to what Mike suggested:

The error message you are seeing indicates that the file "cros_core.h" is missing or cannot be found by the Arduino compiler. This error commonly occurs when the required library or header file is not installed or included properly. To fix, you should start with Mike's recommendation, and also:
  • Verify Library Installation: Make sure that the required library containing "cros_core.h" is installed correctly. Check if you have downloaded the library and placed it in the correct location.
  • Include Path Configuration: If the library is installed but not being found by the compiler, you might need to configure the include path. Go to the Arduino IDE and select "Sketch" > "Include Library" > "Manage Libraries." Search for the library in question and click on it.
  • Clean and Rebuild: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, try cleaning the build and rebuilding the project. Sometimes, the Arduino IDE or the build environment can get into an inconsistent state. Cleaning the build and starting fresh can help resolve such issues.
Hopefully these help!

Hello I was able to get the file to load.   I needed to extract all the files not just the one Ino File.  I have not tested to see if it works but will update here soon to confirm the issue was resolved.
