arduino-cli
Command-line interface for managing Arduino boards, libraries, building sketches, and uploading code.
What is arduino-cli?
Arduino CLI is a command-line interface tool that provides the complete Arduino development workflow without requiring the graphical Arduino IDE. It allows developers to manage boards and libraries, compile sketches, detect connected hardware, and upload code directly from the terminal or through automated scripts. This tool solves the problem of integrating Arduino development into CI/CD pipelines, headless systems, and custom development environments.
Embedded developers, IoT engineers, and makers who work with Arduino-compatible hardware and need scriptable, automated workflows for firmware development. It's particularly valuable for teams implementing continuous integration or deploying to headless systems.
Developers choose Arduino CLI because it provides the full Arduino toolchain in a lightweight, scriptable package that integrates seamlessly with existing development workflows. Unlike the graphical IDE, it enables automation, works in headless environments, and offers machine-readable output for integration with other tools.
