#### Arduino command-line interface

Arduino CLI is an all-in-one solution that provides builder, boards/library manager,
uploader, discovery and many other tools needed to use any Arduino compatible
board and platforms.

**Note**: this software is currently under active development: anything can change
at any time, API and UI must be considered unstable until we release version 1.0.0.

**Necessary plugs**
If you are not able to list and/or upload to your board, you may need plugs and connects.
See `snap connections arduino-cli` for necessary plugs (such as access to USB and serial ports) and connect them with

`$ sudo snap connect arduino-cli:<plug>`

where `<plug>` can be in example `raw-usb`.

**Optional plugs**

* *raw-usb:* allows access to all connected USB devices via a raw interface.
* *serial-port*: enables access to a specific serial port. This interface is restricted because it provides privileged access to configure serial port hardware. Might require hot-plug support `snap set system experimental.hotplug=true` followed by `systemctl restart snapd`.
