ARDUINO-CLI-DEBUG-CHECK(1)

✨ ARDUINO-CLI-DEBUG-CHECK — the check girlies 💅 (that's a page in the ARDUINO COMMAND LINE MANUAL, section 1, bestie)

okay so real talk: this command is literally just a vibe check for your board slash programmer combo. will it debug? will it not? find out. 👑

🌸 NAME 🌸

arduino-cli-debug-check — the one that checks whether the board/programmer situation you've got going on actually supports debugging.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

arduino-cli debug check [flags]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Check if the given board/programmer combination supports debugging.

that's it. that's the whole personality. she checks, she tells you, she moves on. no cap. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --board-options=[] — a list of board options, and you separate them with commas. OR you can pass this flag multiple times if you've got multiple options to spill. both work, i don't make the rules (i do actually read the rules, they say both work). 💜
• --debug-property=[] — override an debug property with a custom value yep, exactly what it sounds like. stack it up multiple times for multiple properties, she's flexible like that.
• --discovery-timeout=1s — the max time to wait around for port discovery. like, examples: 30s, 1m. after that she's done waiting, respectfully. 😭
• -b, --fqbn="" — Fully Qualified Board Name, e.g.: arduino:avr:uno. the government name of your board, periodt.
• -h, --help[=false] — help for check. she'll explain herself.
• --interpreter="console" — the Debug interpreter, e.g.: console, mi, mi1, mi2, mi3. pick your fighter. 🥊
• -p, --port="" — Upload port address, e.g.: COM3 or /dev/ttyACM2. where your lil guy is plugged in at.
• -P, --programmer="" — Programmer to use, e.g: atmel_ice. iconic of you to specify.
• -l, --protocol="" — Upload port protocol, e.g: serial.

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these ones come down from the parent commands like family heirlooms, bestie. still fully yours to use. 🫶

• --additional-urls=[] — Comma-separated list of additional URLs for the Boards Manager.
• --config-dir="" — Sets the default data directory (Arduino CLI will look for configuration file in this directory).
• --config-file="" — The custom config file (if not specified the default will be used).
• --json[=false] — Print the output in JSON format.
• --log[=false] — Print the logs on the standard output.
• --log-file="" — Path to the file where logs will be written.
• --log-format="text" — The output format for the logs, can be: text, json.
• --log-level="info" — Messages with this level and above will be logged. Valid levels are: trace, debug, info, warn, error, fatal, panic.
• --no-color[=false] — Disable colored output. (crying, but valid.)

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

the moment you've all been waiting for:

  debian/build/bin/arduino-cli debug check -b arduino:samd:mkr1000 -P atmel_ice

she ate that. 💅
