What package are you talking about? I checked the package in your fork in IDE 1.8.19 and 2.0.3. There are no Java runtime errors. The package I prepared recently contains the new HAL v 0.6.0 and only works under Windows. Look in the discussions

О каком пакете идет речь? Пакет в Вашем форке я проверял в IDE 1.8.19 и в 2.0.3. Ошибок Java runtaim нет. Пакет, который я подготовил недавно содержит новый HAL v 0.6.0 и работает только под Windows. Посмотрите в дискуссиях

UPD: Скорее всего не может прочитать один из файлов Board.txt или Platform.txt Мне помнится, на какой то версии меняли спецификацию этих файлов. Надо на https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/wiki/ смотреть и сравнивать релизы 1,8,13 и 1,8,19
