arduino-cli compile¶

Compiles Arduino sketches.

Synopsis¶

Compiles Arduino sketches.

arduino-cli compile [flags]

Examples¶

  arduino-cli compile -b arduino:avr:uno /home/user/Arduino/MySketch
  arduino-cli compile -b arduino:avr:uno --build-property "build.extra_flags=\"-DMY_DEFINE=\"hello world\"\"" /home/user/Arduino/MySketch
  arduino-cli compile -b arduino:avr:uno --build-property "build.extra_flags=-DPIN=2 \"-DMY_DEFINE=\"hello world\"\"" /home/user/Arduino/MySketch
  arduino-cli compile -b arduino:avr:uno --build-property build.extra_flags=-DPIN=2 --build-property "compiler.cpp.extra_flags=\"-DSSID=\"hello world\"\"" /home/user/Arduino/MySketch

Options¶

      --board-options strings        List of board options separated by commas. Or can be used multiple times for multiple options.
      --build-cache-path string      Builds of 'core.a' are saved into this path to be cached and reused.
      --build-path string            Path where to save compiled files. If omitted, a directory will be created in the default temporary path of your OS.
      --build-property stringArray   Override a build property with a custom value. Can be used multiple times for multiple properties.
      --clean                        Optional, cleanup the build folder and do not use any cached build.
      --discovery-timeout duration   Max time to wait for port discovery, e.g.: 30s, 1m (default 1s)
      --dump-profile                 Create and print a profile configuration from the build.
      --encrypt-key string           The name of the custom encryption key to use to encrypt a binary during the compile process. Used only by the platforms that support it.
  -e, --export-binaries              If set built binaries will be exported to the sketch folder.
  -b, --fqbn string                  Fully Qualified Board Name, e.g.: arduino:avr:uno
  -h, --help                         help for compile
      --keys-keychain string         The path of the dir to search for the custom keys to sign and encrypt a binary. Used only by the platforms that support it.
      --libraries strings            Path to a collection of libraries. Can be used multiple times or entries can be comma separated.
      --library strings              Path to a single library’s root folder. Can be used multiple times or entries can be comma separated.
      --only-compilation-database    Just produce the compilation database, without actually compiling. All build commands are skipped except pre* hooks.
      --optimize-for-debug           Optional, optimize compile output for debugging, rather than for release.
      --output-dir string            Save build artifacts in this directory.
  -p, --port string                  Upload port address, e.g.: COM3 or /dev/ttyACM2
      --preprocess                   Print preprocessed code to stdout instead of compiling.
  -m, --profile string               Sketch profile to use
  -P, --programmer string            Programmer to use, e.g: atmel_ice
  -l, --protocol string              Upload port protocol, e.g: serial
      --quiet                        Optional, suppresses almost every output.
      --show-properties              Show all build properties used instead of compiling.
      --sign-key string              The name of the custom signing key to use to sign a binary during the compile process. Used only by the platforms that support it.
  -u, --upload                       Upload the binary after the compilation.
  -t, --verify                       Verify uploaded binary after the upload.
      --vid-pid string               When specified, VID/PID specific build properties are used, if board supports them.
      --warnings string              Optional, can be: none, default, more, all. Used to tell gcc which warning level to use (-W flag). (default "none")

Options inherited from parent commands¶

      --additional-urls strings   Comma-separated list of additional URLs for the Boards Manager.
      --config-file string        The custom config file (if not specified the default will be used).
      --format string             The output format for the logs, can be: text, json, jsonmini, yaml (default "text")
      --log-file string           Path to the file where logs will be written.
