The current tarball 1.8.9 of the Arduino IDE comes with the following tool versions:

arduino.avrdude=6.3.0-arduino14
arduino.arduinoOTA=1.2.1
arduino.avr-gcc=5.4.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino2

Cosa 1.2.0 specifies avr-gcc 4.8.1-arduino5 and avrdude 6.0.1-arduino5!

To avoid duplicate toolchain installations, could you please update the board manager file (JSON) or duplicate it with a "1.8.x" variant? Or is it possible to add something like "latest" (which means the default one provided by the IDE) or >= to the JSON file?

Are there any reasons not to update these versions?

For some reason, I have started arduino from the command line. I have already added your package manager JSON file to the IDE.

The stderr shows the following messages:

Time and interest :)

There has been limited interest in this project so it is on ice. I have actually moved my focus to developing a strategy for "porting" Cosa to support multiple architectures e.g. SAM and AVR. The Arduino-GPIO/TWI/SPI/OWI repositories are examples of the experimentation.

I will consider the update. Thanks for the attention!
