💖 NAME 💖

arduino-cli-board — bestie, this is the Arduino board commands situation. It's giving gateway energy, but make it official. 🎀

Oh also hiii, you're reading the ARDUINO COMMAND LINE MANUAL (section 1), welcome to the group chat. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

arduino-cli board [flags]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so, no cap: these are the Arduino board commands. That's literally the whole description. It's a parent command, she's the mom of the family, and her children are the ones doing the actual work (see SEE ALSO, we'll get there bestie, patience 💅).

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • -h, --help[=false] — shows the help for board. The [=false] is just her default lil vibe, she's not gonna dump help on you unless you ask.

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

These ones get handed down like the family jewelry, board didn't come up with them herself, she just rocks them. 💜

  • --additional-urls=[] — a comma-separated list of extra URLs for the Boards Manager. It defaults to an empty list, so it's just sitting there, waiting, unbothered. ✨
  • --config-dir="" — sets the default data directory (Arduino CLI will look for the configuration file in this directory). Empty string by default, meaning "you decide, queen."
  • --config-file="" — the custom config file. If you don't specify one, the default will be used. Empty by default. Periodt.
  • --json[=false] — prints the output in JSON format. Great if you're feeding it to a robot instead of a human. 🤖
  • --log[=false] — prints the logs on standard output.
  • --log-file="" — path to the file where logs will be written. Empty by default.
  • --log-format="text" — the output format for the logs. It can be: text, json. Default is text, obviously, she's not extra.
  • --log-level="info" — messages with this level and above will be logged. Valid levels are: trace, debug, info, warn, error, fatal, panic. Default is info.
  • --no-color[=false] — disables colored output. 😭 Why would you ever. But okay, it's there, respecting your choices.
  • --log-level — nope wait, already did that one, ignore me. 🙈
fr fr bestie, do NOT sleep on --json and --log-level, they are lowkey the main characters of scripting.

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

Here's the vibe, copy it exactly or it won't slay:

  # Lists all connected boards.
  debian/build/bin/arduino-cli board list

See? She lists all connected boards. Iconic.

And that's the whole page bestie!! 🌸 This cutie was auto generated by spf13/cobra back in Aug 2026, and it lives inside the ARDUINO COMMAND LINE MANUAL. Now go connect a board and make something iconic. 🔥👑🦋
