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.
