arduino

TLDR

Start Arduino IDE

$ arduino

Open a sketch

$ arduino [sketch.ino]

Compile a sketch

$ arduino --verify [sketch.ino]

Upload to board

$ arduino --upload [sketch.ino]

Specify board and port

$ arduino --board [arduino:avr:uno] --port [/dev/ttyACM0] --upload [sketch.ino]

SYNOPSIS

arduino [--verify|--upload] [--board board] [--port port] [sketch]

arduino is the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for programming Arduino microcontroller boards. It provides a code editor, compiler, and upload functionality for Arduino sketches.
The command-line interface enables headless compilation and upload, useful for CI/CD pipelines and scripting.

PARAMETERS

--verify

Compile sketch without uploading

--upload

Compile and upload to board

--board fqbn

Fully qualified board name

--port port

Serial port for upload

--pref name=value

Set preference

--save-prefs

Save preferences and exit

--get-pref name

Print preference value

--install-boards package:platform

Install board package

--install-library name

Install library

CAVEATS

Board support packages may need installation for non-AVR boards. Serial port permissions may require user group configuration on Linux. Legacy IDE differs from Arduino IDE 2.0.

HISTORY

The Arduino project was started at the Ivrea Interaction Design Institute in 2005. The IDE has been the primary development environment for Arduino boards since the platform's inception.
