Upgrading
Upgrading
Here you can find a list of migration guides to handle breaking changes, deprecations, and bugfixes that may cause problems between releases of the CLI.
1.0.4
The build cache path specified with compile --build-cache-path
or build_cache.path
now affects also sketches.
compile --build-cache-pathbuild_cache.pathPreviously the specified build cache path only affected cores and it was ignored for sketches. This is now fixed and both cores and sketches are cached in the given directory.
A full build of the sketch is performed if a build path is specified in compile --build-path ...
.
compile --build-path ...Previously if a build path was specified a cached core could have been used from the global build cache path resulting in a partial build inside the given build path.
Now if a build path is specified, the global build cache path is ignored and the full build is done in the given build path.
compile --build-cache-path
is deprecated.
compile --build-cache-pathThe change above, makes the
compile --build-cache-path flag useless. It is kept just for backward compatibility.The default build_cache.path
has been moved from the temp folder to the user's cache folder.
build_cache.pathPreviously the
build_cache.path was in $TMP/arduino. Now it has been moved to the specific OS user's cache folder,
for example in Linux it happens to be $HOME/.cache/arduino.1.0.0
compile --build-cache-path
slightly changed directory format
compile --build-cache-pathNow compiled cores are cached under the
cores subdir of the path specified in --build-cache-path, previously it was
saved under the core subdir. The new behaviour is coherent with the default cache directory /tmp/arduino/cores/...
when the cache directory is not set by the user.Configuration file now supports only YAML format.
The Arduino CLI configuration file now supports only the YAML format.
gRPC Setting API important changes
The Settings API has been heavily refactored. Here a quick recap of the new methods:
returns the value of a setting given the key. The returned value is a string encoded in JSON, or YAMLSettingsGetValue1message SettingsGetValueRequest {2 // The key to get3 string key = 1;4 // The format of the encoded_value (default is5 // "json", allowed values are "json" and "yaml)6 string value_format = 2;7}89message SettingsGetValueResponse {10 // The value of the key (encoded)11 string encoded_value = 1;12}
change the value of a setting. The value may be specified in JSON, YAML, or as a command-line argument. IfSettingsSetValue
is an empty string the setting is deleted.encoded_value1message SettingsSetValueRequest {2 // The key to change3 string key = 1;4 // The new value (encoded), no objects,5 // only scalar, or array of scalars are6 // allowed.7 string encoded_value = 2;8 // The format of the encoded_value (default is9 // "json", allowed values are "json", "yaml",10 // and "cli")11 string value_format = 3;12}
returns all the available keys and their type (SettingsEnumerate
,string
,int
...)[]string
replaces the current configuration with the one passed as argument. Differently fromConfigurationOpen
, this call replaces the whole configuration.SettingsSetValue
outputs the current configuration in the specified format. The configuration is not saved in a file, this call returns just the content, it's a duty of the caller to store the content in a file.ConfigurationSave
return the current configuration in a structured gRPC messageConfigurationGet
.Configuration
The previous gRPC Setting rpc call may be replaced as follows:
- The old
rpc call can now be done troughSettingsMerge
.SettingsSetValue - The old
rpc call can now be done troughSettingsDelete
passing theSettingsSetValue
to delete with an emptykey
.value - The old
rpc call has been replaced bySettingsGetAll
that returns a structured messageConfigurationGet
with all the settings populated.Configuration - The old
rpc call has been removed. It is partially replaced bySettingsWrite
but the actual file save must be performed by the caller.ConfigurationSave
golang: importing arduino-cli
as a library now requires the creation of a gRPC service.
arduino-cliPreviously the methods implementing the Arduino business logic were available in the global namespace
github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/commands/* and could be called directly.The above is no more true. All the global
commands.* functions have been converted to methods of the
arduinoCoreServerImpl struct that implements the gRPC ArduinoCoreServer interface. The configuration is now part of
the server internal state. Developers may create a "daemon-less" server by calling the commands.NewArduinoCoreServer()
function and can use the returned object to call all the needed gRPC functions.The methods of the
ArduinoCoreServer are generated through the gRPC protobuf definitions, some of those methods are
gRPC "streaming" methods and requires a streaming object to be passed as argument, we provided helper methods to create
these objects.For example if previously we could call
commands.Init like this:1// old Init signature2func Init(req *rpc.InitRequest, responseCallback func(r *rpc.InitResponse)) error { ... }3
4// ...5
6// Initialize instance7if err := commands.Init(&rpc.InitRequest{Instance: req.GetInstance()}, respCB); err != nil {8 return err9}now the
responseCallback must be wrapped into an rpc.ArduinoCoreService_InitServer, and we provided a method exactly
for that:1// new Init method2func (s *arduinoCoreServerImpl) Init(req *rpc.InitRequest, stream rpc.ArduinoCoreService_InitServer) error { ... }3
4/// ...5
6// Initialize instance7initStream := InitStreamResponseToCallbackFunction(ctx, respCB)8if err := srv.Init(&rpc.InitRequest{Instance: req.GetInstance()}, initStream); err != nil {9 return err10}Each gRPC method has an helper method to obtain the corresponding
ArduinoCoreService_*Server parameter. Here a simple,
but complete, example:1package main2
3import (4 "context"5 "fmt"6 "io"7 "log"8
9 "github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/commands"10 rpc "github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/rpc/cc/arduino/cli/commands/v1"11 "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"12)13
14func main() {15 // Create a new ArduinoCoreServer16 srv := commands.NewArduinoCoreServer()17
18 // Disable logging19 logrus.SetOutput(io.Discard)20
21 // Create a new instance in the server22 ctx := context.Background()23 resp, err := srv.Create(ctx, &rpc.CreateRequest{})24 if err != nil {25 log.Fatal("Error creating instance:", err)26 }27 instance := resp.GetInstance()28
29 // Defer the destruction of the instance30 defer func() {31 if _, err := srv.Destroy(ctx, &rpc.DestroyRequest{Instance: instance}); err != nil {32 log.Fatal("Error destroying instance:", err)33 }34 fmt.Println("Instance successfully destroyed")35 }()36
37 // Initialize the instance38 initStream := commands.InitStreamResponseToCallbackFunction(ctx, func(r *rpc.InitResponse) error {39 fmt.Println("INIT> ", r)40 return nil41 })42 if err := srv.Init(&rpc.InitRequest{Instance: instance}, initStream); err != nil {43 log.Fatal("Error during initialization:", err)44 }45
46 // Search for platforms and output the result47 searchResp, err := srv.PlatformSearch(ctx, &rpc.PlatformSearchRequest{Instance: instance})48 if err != nil {49 log.Fatal("Error searching for platforms:", err)50 }51 for _, platformSummary := range searchResp.GetSearchOutput() {52 installed := platformSummary.GetInstalledRelease()53 meta := platformSummary.GetMetadata()54 fmt.Printf("%30s %8s %s\n", meta.GetId(), installed.GetVersion(), installed.GetName())55 }56}YAML output format is no more supported
The
yaml option of the --format flag is no more supported. Use --format json if machine parsable output is needed.gRPC: The type
field has been renamed to types
in the cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.PlatformRelease
message.
typetypescc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.PlatformReleaseRebuilding the gRPC bindings from the proto files requires to rename all access to
type field as types.By the way, the wire protocol is not affected by this change, existing clients should work fine without modification.
The type
field has been renamed to types
in the JSON output including a platform release.
typetypesSince the
type field may contain multiple values has been renamed to types to better express this aspect.Previously:
1$ arduino-cli core list --json | jq '.platforms[4].releases."1.8.13"'2{3 "name": "Arduino SAMD (32-bits ARM Cortex-M0+) Boards",4 "version": "1.8.13",5 "type": [6 "Arduino"7 ],8 ...Now:
1$ arduino-cli core list --json | jq '.platforms[4].releases."1.8.13"'2{3 "name": "Arduino SAMD (32-bits ARM Cortex-M0+) Boards",4 "version": "1.8.13",5 "types": [6 "Arduino"7 ],8 ...The gRPC cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.CompileRequest.export_binaries
changed type.
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.CompileRequest.export_binariesPreviously the field
export_binaries was a google.protobuf.BoolValue. We used this type because it expresses this
field's optional nature (that is, it could be true, false, and null if not set).Now the field is an
optional bool, since the latest protobuf protocol changes now allows optional fields.Some gRPC responses messages now uses the oneof
clause.
oneofThe following responses message:
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.PlatformInstallResponsecc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.PlatformDownloadResponsecc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.PlatformUninstallResponsecc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.PlatformUpgradeResponsecc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.DebugResponsecc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.LibraryDownloadResponsecc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.LibraryInstallResponsecc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.LibraryUpgradeResponsecc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.LibraryUninstallResponsecc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.LibraryUpgradeAllResponsecc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.ZipLibraryInstallResponsecc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.GitLibraryInstallResponsecc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.MonitorResponse
now use the
oneof clause to make the stream nature of the message more explicit. Just to give an example, the
PlatformInstallResponse message has been changed from:1message PlatformInstallResponse {2 // Progress of the downloads of the platform and tool files.3 DownloadProgress progress = 1;4 // Description of the current stage of the installation.5 TaskProgress task_progress = 2;6}to:
1message PlatformInstallResponse {2 message Result {3 // Empty message, reserved for future expansion.4 }5 oneof message {6 // Progress of the downloads of the platform and tool files.7 DownloadProgress progress = 1;8 // Description of the current stage of the installation.9 TaskProgress task_progress = 2;10 // The installation result.11 Result result = 3;12 }13}The other messages have been changed in a similar way.
The gRPC cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.UpdateIndexResponse
and UpdateLibrariesIndexResponse
have changed.
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.UpdateIndexResponseUpdateLibrariesIndexResponseThe responses coming from the update index commands:
1message UpdateIndexResponse {2 // Progress of the package index download.3 DownloadProgress download_progress = 1;4}5
6message UpdateLibrariesIndexResponse {7 // Progress of the libraries index download.8 DownloadProgress download_progress = 1;9}are now more explicit and contains details about the result of the operation:
1message UpdateIndexResponse {2 message Result {3 // The result of the packages index update.4 repeated IndexUpdateReport updated_indexes = 1;5 }6 oneof message {7 // Progress of the package index download.8 DownloadProgress download_progress = 1;9 // The result of the index update.10 Result result = 2;11 }12}13
14message UpdateLibrariesIndexResponse {15 message Result {16 // The result of the libraries index update.17 IndexUpdateReport libraries_index = 1;18 }19 oneof message {20 // Progress of the libraries index download.21 DownloadProgress download_progress = 1;22 // The result of the index update.23 Result result = 2;24 }25}The
IndexUpdateReport message contains details for each index update operation performed:1message IndexUpdateReport {2 enum Status {3 // The status of the index update is unspecified.4 STATUS_UNSPECIFIED = 0;5 // The index has been successfully updated.6 STATUS_UPDATED = 1;7 // The index was already up to date.8 STATUS_ALREADY_UP_TO_DATE = 2;9 // The index update failed.10 STATUS_FAILED = 3;11 // The index update was skipped.12 STATUS_SKIPPED = 4;13 }14
15 // The URL of the index that was updated.16 string index_url = 1;17 // The result of the index update.18 Status status = 2;19}The gRPC cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.Profile
message has been removed in favor of SketchProfile
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.ProfileSketchProfileThe message
Profile has been replaced with SketchProfile in the InitResponse.profile field:1message InitResponse {2 oneof message {3 Progress init_progress = 1;4 google.rpc.Status error = 2;5 // Selected profile information6 SketchProfile profile = 3;7 }8}The gRPC cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.LoadSketchResponse
message has been changed.
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.LoadSketchResponsePreviously the
LoadSketchResponse containted all the information about the sketch:1message LoadSketchResponse {2 string main_file = 1;3 string location_path = 2;4 repeated string other_sketch_files = 3;5 repeated string additional_files = 4;6 repeated string root_folder_files = 5;7 string default_fqbn = 6;8 string default_port = 7;9 string default_protocol = 8;10 repeated SketchProfile profiles = 9;11 SketchProfile default_profile = 10;12}Now all the metadata have been moved into a specific
Sketch message:1message LoadSketchResponse {2 Sketch sketch = 1;3}4
5message Sketch {6 string main_file = 1;7 string location_path = 2;8 repeated string other_sketch_files = 3;9 repeated string additional_files = 4;10 repeated string root_folder_files = 5;11 string default_fqbn = 6;12 string default_port = 7;13 string default_protocol = 8;14 repeated SketchProfile profiles = 9;15 SketchProfile default_profile = 10;16}Drop support for builtin.tools
builtin.toolsWe're dropping the
builtin.tools support. It was the equivalent of Arduino IDE 1.x bundled tools directory.The gRPC cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.MonitorRequest
message has been changed.
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.MonitorRequestPreviously the
MonitorRequest was a single message used to open the monitor, to stream data, and to change the port
configuration:1message MonitorRequest {2 // Arduino Core Service instance from the `Init` response.3 Instance instance = 1;4 // Port to open, must be filled only on the first request5 Port port = 2;6 // The board FQBN we are trying to connect to. This is optional, and it's7 // needed to disambiguate if more than one platform provides the pluggable8 // monitor for a given port protocol.9 string fqbn = 3;10 // Data to send to the port11 bytes tx_data = 4;12 // Port configuration, optional, contains settings of the port to be applied13 MonitorPortConfiguration port_configuration = 5;14}Now the meaning of the fields has been clarified with the
oneof clause, making it more explicit:1message MonitorRequest {2 oneof message {3 // Open request, it must be the first incoming message4 MonitorPortOpenRequest open_request = 1;5 // Data to send to the port6 bytes tx_data = 2;7 // Port configuration, contains settings of the port to be changed8 MonitorPortConfiguration updated_configuration = 3;9 // Close message, set to true to gracefully close a port (this ensure10 // that the gRPC streaming call is closed by the daemon AFTER the port11 // has been successfully closed)12 bool close = 4;13 }14}15
16message MonitorPortOpenRequest {17 // Arduino Core Service instance from the `Init` response.18 Instance instance = 1;19 // Port to open, must be filled only on the first request20 Port port = 2;21 // The board FQBN we are trying to connect to. This is optional, and it's22 // needed to disambiguate if more than one platform provides the pluggable23 // monitor for a given port protocol.24 string fqbn = 3;25 // Port configuration, optional, contains settings of the port to be applied26 MonitorPortConfiguration port_configuration = 4;27}Now the message field
MonitorPortOpenRequest.open_request must be sent in the first message after opening the
streaming gRPC call.The identification number of the fields has been changed, this change is not binary compatible with old clients.
Some golang modules from github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/*
have been made private.
github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/*The following golang modules are no longer available as public API:
github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduinogithub.com/arduino/arduino-cli/buildcachegithub.com/arduino/arduino-cli/client_examplegithub.com/arduino/arduino-cli/configurationgithub.com/arduino/arduino-cli/docsgengithub.com/arduino/arduino-cli/executilsgithub.com/arduino/arduino-cli/i18ngithub.com/arduino/arduino-cli/table
Most of the
executils library has been integrated inside the go-paths library github.com/arduino/go-paths-helper.
The other packages are not intended for usage outside the Arduino CLI, we will keep them internal to allow future
breaking changes as needed.CLI changed JSON output for some lib

config dump
no longer returns default configuration values
config dumpPreviously, the
config dump CLI command returned the effective configuration, including both the values explicitly set
via the configuration file and environment variables as well as the values provided by defaults.It now only returns the explicitly set configuration data.
Use
config get <configuration key> to get the effective value of the configurationThe gRPC response cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.CompileResponse
has been changed.
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.CompileResponseThe
CompilerResponse message has been refactored to made explicit which fields are intended for streaming the build
process and which fields are part of the build result.The old
CompilerResponse:1message CompileResponse {2 // The output of the compilation process (stream)3 bytes out_stream = 1;4 // The error output of the compilation process (stream)5 bytes err_stream = 2;6 // The compiler build path7 string build_path = 3;8 // The libraries used in the build9 repeated Library used_libraries = 4;10 // The size of the executable split by sections11 repeated ExecutableSectionSize executable_sections_size = 5;12 // The platform where the board is defined13 InstalledPlatformReference board_platform = 6;14 // The platform used for the build (if referenced from the board platform)15 InstalledPlatformReference build_platform = 7;16 // Completions reports of the compilation process (stream)17 TaskProgress progress = 8;18 // Build properties used for compiling19 repeated string build_properties = 9;20 // Compiler errors and warnings21 repeated CompileDiagnostic diagnostics = 10;22}has been split into a
CompilerResponse and a BuilderResult:1message CompileResponse {2 oneof message {3 // The output of the compilation process (stream)4 bytes out_stream = 1;5 // The error output of the compilation process (stream)6 bytes err_stream = 2;7 // Completions reports of the compilation process (stream)8 TaskProgress progress = 3;9 // The compilation result10 BuilderResult result = 4;11 }12}13
14message BuilderResult {15 // The compiler build path16 string build_path = 1;17 // The libraries used in the build18 repeated Library used_libraries = 2;19 // The size of the executable split by sections20 repeated ExecutableSectionSize executable_sections_size = 3;21 // The platform where the board is defined22 InstalledPlatformReference board_platform = 4;23 // The platform used for the build (if referenced from the board platform)24 InstalledPlatformReference build_platform = 5;25 // Build properties used for compiling26 repeated string build_properties = 7;27 // Compiler errors and warnings28 repeated CompileDiagnostic diagnostics = 8;29}with a clear distinction on which fields are streamed.
The gRPC response cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.UploadUsingProgrammerResponse
and cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.BurnBootloaderResponse
has been changed.
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.UploadUsingProgrammerResponsecc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.BurnBootloaderResponseThe old messages:
1message UploadUsingProgrammerResponse {2 // The output of the upload process.3 bytes out_stream = 1;4 // The error output of the upload process.5 bytes err_stream = 2;6}7
8message BurnBootloaderResponse {9 // The output of the burn bootloader process.10 bytes out_stream = 1;11 // The error output of the burn bootloader process.12 bytes err_stream = 2;13}now have the
oneof clause that makes explicit the streaming nature of the response:1message UploadUsingProgrammerResponse {2 oneof message {3 // The output of the upload process.4 bytes out_stream = 1;5 // The error output of the upload process.6 bytes err_stream = 2;7 }8}9
10message BurnBootloaderResponse {11 oneof message {12 // The output of the burn bootloader process.13 bytes out_stream = 1;14 // The error output of the burn bootloader process.15 bytes err_stream = 2;16 }17}The gRPC cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.PlatformRelease
has been changed.
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.PlatformReleaseWe've added a new field called
compatible. This field indicates if the current platform release is installable or not.
It may happen that a platform doesn't have a dependency available for an OS/ARCH, in such cases, if we try to install
the platform it will fail. The new field can be used to know upfront if a specific release is installable.The gRPC cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.PlatformSummary
has been changed.
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.PlatformSummaryWe've modified the behavior of
latest_version. Now this field indicates the latest version that can be installed in
the current OS/ARCH.core list
now returns only the latest version that can be installed.
core listPreviously, we showed the latest version without checking if all the dependencies were available in the current OS/ARCH. Now, the latest version will always point to an installable one even if a newer incompatible one is present.
core search
now returns the latest installable version of a core.
core searchWe now show in the
version column the latest installable version. If none are available then we show a n/a label.
The corresponding command with --format json now returns the same output of
arduino-cli core search --all --format json.core upgrade
and core install
will install the latest compatible version.
core upgradecore installPreviously, we'd have tried the installation/upgrade of a core even if all the required tools weren't available in the current OS/ARCH. Now we check this upfront, and allowing the installation of incompatible versions only if a user explicitly provides it like:
core install arduino:renesas_uno@1.0.2gRPC service cc.arduino.cli.settings.v1
has been removed, and all RPC calls have been migrated to cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1
cc.arduino.cli.settings.v1cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1The service
cc.arduino.cli.settings.v1 no longer exists and all existing RPC calls have been moved to the
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1 service adding a Settings prefix to the names of all messages. The existing RPC calls:rpc GetAll(GetAllRequest) returns (GetAllResponse)rpc Merge(MergeRequest) returns (MergeResponse)rpc GetValue(GetValueRequest) returns (GetValueResponse)rpc SetValue(SetValueRequest) returns (SetValueResponse)rpc Write(WriteRequest) returns (WriteResponse)rpc Delete(DeleteRequest) returns (DeleteResponse)
are now renamed to:
rpc SettingsGetAll(SettingsGetAllRequest) returns (SettingsGetAllResponse)rpc SettingsMerge(SettingsMergeRequest) returns (SettingsMergeResponse)rpc SettingsGetValue(SettingsGetValueRequest) returns (SettingsGetValueResponse)rpc SettingsSetValue(SettingsSetValueRequest) returns (SettingsSetValueResponse)rpc SettingsWrite(SettingsWriteRequest) returns (SettingsWriteResponse)rpc SettingsDelete(SettingsDeleteRequest) returns (SettingsDeleteResponse)
gRPC cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.LibrarySearchRequest
message has been changed.
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.LibrarySearchRequestThe
query field has been removed, use search_args instead.CLI core list
and core search
changed JSON output.
core listcore searchBelow is an example of the response containing an object with all possible keys set.

message has been changed.
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.PlatformSearchResponseThe old behavior was a bit misleading to the client because, to list all the available versions for each platform, we used to use the
latest as it was describing the current platform version. We introduced a new message:
PlatformSummary, with the intent to make the response more straightforward and less error-prone.1message PlatformSearchResponse {2 // Results of the search.3 repeated PlatformSummary search_output = 1;4}5
6// PlatformSummary is a structure containing all the information about7// a platform and all its available releases.8message PlatformSummary {9 // Generic information about a platform10 PlatformMetadata metadata = 1;11 // Maps version to the corresponding PlatformRelease12 map<string, PlatformRelease> releases = 2;13 // The installed version of the platform, or empty string if none installed14 string installed_version = 3;15 // The latest available version of the platform, or empty if none available16 string latest_version = 4;17}The new response contains an array of
PlatformSummary. PlatformSummary contains all the information about a platform
and all its available releases. Releases contain all the PlatformReleases of a specific platform, and the key is the
semver string of a specific version. We've added the installed_version and latest_version to make more convenient
the access of such values in the map. A few notes about the behavior of the releases map:- It can be empty if no releases are found
- It can contain a single-release
- It can contain multiple releases
- If in the request we provide the
, the key of such release is an empty string.manually_installed=true
Removed gRPC API: cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.PlatformList
, PlatformListRequest
, and PlatformListResponse
.
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.PlatformListPlatformListRequestPlatformListResponseThe following gRPC API have been removed:
: you can use the already available gRPC methodcc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.PlatformList
to perform the same task. Setting thePlatformSearch

.cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.PlatformListResponse
gRPC cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.Platform
message has been changed.
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.PlatformThe old
Platform and other information such as name, website, and email... contained details about the currently
installed version and the latest available. We noticed an ambiguous use of the latest field, especially when such a
message came in the PlatformSearchResponse response. In that use case, the latest field contained the specific version
of a particular platform: this is a hack because the value doesn't always reflect the meaning of that property. Another
inconsistent case occurs when a platform maintainer changes the name of a particular release. We always pick the value
from the latest release, but this might not be what we want to do all the time. We concluded that the design of that
message isn't something to be considered future-proof proof, so we decided to modify it as follows:1// Platform is a structure containing all the information about a single2// platform release.3message Platform {4 // Generic information about a platform5 PlatformMetadata metadata = 1;6 // Information about a specific release of a platform7 PlatformRelease release = 2;8}9
10// PlatformMetadata contains generic information about a platform (not11// correlated to a specific release).12message PlatformMetadata {13 // Platform ID (e.g., `arduino:avr`).14 string id = 1;15 // Maintainer of the platform's package.16 string maintainer = 2;17 // A URL provided by the author of the platform's package, intended to point18 // to their website.19 string website = 3;20 // Email of the maintainer of the platform's package.21 string email = 4;22 // If true this Platform has been installed manually in the user' sketchbook23 // hardware folder24 bool manually_installed = 5;25 // True if the latest release of this Platform has been deprecated26 bool deprecated = 6;27 // If true the platform is indexed28 bool indexed = 7;29}30

debugging_supported
field has been removed from gRPC cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.BoardDetails
and board details
command in CLI
debugging_supportedcc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.BoardDetailsboard detailsThe
debugging_supported field has been removed, since the possibility to debug is determined by:- the board selected
- the board option selected
- the programmer selected
the
board details command has no sufficient information to determine it. If you need to determine if a specific
selection of board + option + programmer supports debugging, use the gRPC call
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.GetDebugConfig: if the call is successful, it means that the debugging is supported.0.35.0
CLI debug --info
changed JSON output.
debug --infoThe string field
server_configuration.script is now an array and has been renamed scripts, here an example:1{2 "executable": "/tmp/arduino/sketches/002050EAA7EFB9A4FC451CDFBC0FA2D3/Blink.ino.elf",3 "toolchain": "gcc",4 "toolchain_path": "/home/user/.arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc/7-2017q4/bin/",5 "toolchain_prefix": "arm-none-eabi",6 "server": "openocd",7 "server_path": "/home/user/.arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/openocd/0.10.0-arduino7/bin/openocd",8 "server_configuration": {9 "path": "/home/user/.arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/openocd/0.10.0-arduino7/bin/openocd",10 "scripts_dir": "/home/user/.arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/openocd/0.10.0-arduino7/share/openocd/scripts/",11 "scripts": [12 "/home/user/Workspace/arduino-cli/internal/integrationtest/debug/testdata/hardware/my/samd/variants/arduino:mkr1000/openocd_scripts/arduino_zero.cfg"13 ]14 }15}gRPC cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.GetDebugConfigResponse
message has been changed.
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.GetDebugConfigResponseThe fields
toolchain_configuration and server_configuration are no more generic map<string, string> but they have
changed type to goog.protobuf.Any, the concrete type is assigned at runtime based on the value of toolchain and
server fields respectively.For the moment:
- only

, and the concrete type fortoolchain
istoolchain_configuration
.DebugGCCToolchainConfiguration - only
is supported foropenocd
, and the concrete type forserver

More concrete type may be added in the future as more servers/toolchains support is implemented.
gRPC service cc.arduino.cli.debug.v1
moved to cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1
.
cc.arduino.cli.debug.v1cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1The gRPC service
cc.arduino.cli.debug.v1 has been removed and all gRPC messages and rpc calls have been moved to
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.The gRPC message
DebugConfigRequest has been renamed to the proper GetDebugConfigRequest.All the generated API has been updated as well.
The gRPC cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.BoardListWatchRequest
command request has been changed.
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.BoardListWatchRequestThe gRPC message
BoardListWatchRequest has been changed from:1message BoardListWatchRequest {2 // Arduino Core Service instance from the `Init` response.3 Instance instance = 1;4 // Set this to true to stop the discovery process5 bool interrupt = 2;6}to
1message BoardListWatchRequest {2 // Arduino Core Service instance from the `Init` response.3 Instance instance = 1;4}The gRPC cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.BoardListWatch
service is now server stream only.
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.BoardListWatch1rpc BoardListWatch(BoardListWatchRequest)2 returns (stream BoardListWatchResponse);0.34.0
The gRPC cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.UploadRepsonse
command response has been changed.
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.UploadRepsonsePreviously the
UploadResponse was used only to stream the tool output:1message UploadResponse {2 // The output of the upload process.3 bytes out_stream = 1;4 // The error output of the upload process.5 bytes err_stream = 2;6}Now the API logic has been clarified using the
oneof clause and another field has been added providing an
UploadResult message that is sent when a successful upload completes.1message UploadResponse {2 oneof message {3 // The output of the upload process.4 bytes out_stream = 1;5 // The error output of the upload process.6 bytes err_stream = 2;7 // The upload result8 UploadResult result = 3;9 }10}11

1func Upload(ctx context.Context, req *rpc.UploadRequest, outStream io.Writer, errStream io.Writer) (*rpc.UploadResult, error) { ... }Now an
UploadResult structure is returned together with the error. If you are not interested in the information
contained in the structure you can safely ignore it.golang package github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/inventory

cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.CompileThe gRPC
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.Compile command now return expanded build_properties by default. If you want the
unexpanded build_properties you must set to true the field do_not_expand_build_properties in the
CompileRequest.compile --show-properties
now return the expanded build properties.
compile --show-propertiesThe command
compile --show-properties now returns the expanded build properties, with the variable placeholders
replaced with their current value. If you need the unexpanded build properties you must change the command line to
compile --show-properties=unexpanded.Before:
1$ arduino-cli board details -b arduino:avr:uno --show-properties | grep ^tools.avrdude.path2tools.avrdude.path={runtime.tools.avrdude.path}Now:
1$ arduino-cli board details -b arduino:avr:uno --show-properties | grep ^tools.avrdude.path2tools.avrdude.path=/home/megabug/.arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/avrdude/6.3.0-arduino173$ arduino-cli board details -b arduino:avr:uno --show-properties=unexpanded | grep ^tools.avrdude.path4tools.avrdude.path={runtime.tools.avrdude.path}0.32.2
golang API: method github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/cores/Board.GetBuildProperties

github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/cores/Board.GetBuildPropertiesThe method:
1func (b *Board) GetBuildProperties(userConfigs *properties.Map) (*properties.Map, error) { ... }now requires a full
FQBN object;1func (b *Board) GetBuildProperties(fqbn *FQBN) (*properties.Map, error) { ... }Existing code may be updated from:
1b.GetBuildProperties(fqbn.Configs)to
1b.GetBuildProperties(fqbn)0.32.0
arduino-cli
doesn't lookup anymore in the current directory for configuration file.
arduino-cliConfiguration file lookup in current working directory and its parents is dropped. The command line flag
--config-file
must be specified to use an alternative configuration file from the one in the data directory.Command outdated
output change
outdatedFor
text format (default), the command prints now a single table for platforms and libraries instead of two separate
tables.Similarly, for JSON and YAML formats, the command prints now a single valid object, with
platform and libraries
top-level keys. For example, for JSON output:1$ arduino-cli outdated --format json2{3 "platforms": [4 {5 "id": "arduino:avr",6 "installed": "1.6.3",7 "latest": "1.8.6",8 "name": "Arduino AVR Boards",9 ...10 }11 ],12 "libraries": [13 {14 "library": {15 "name": "USBHost",16 "author": "Arduino",17 "maintainer": "Arduino \u003cinfo@arduino.cc\u003e",18 "category": "Device Control",19 "version": "1.0.0",20 ...21 },22 "release": {23 "author": "Arduino",24 "version": "1.0.5",25 "maintainer": "Arduino \u003cinfo@arduino.cc\u003e",26 "category": "Device Control",27 ...28 }29 }30 ]31}Command compile
does not support --vid-pid
flag anymore
compile--vid-pidIt was a legacy and undocumented feature that is now useless. The corresponding field in gRPC
CompileRequest.vid_pid
has been removed as well.golang API: method github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/libraries/Library.LocationPriorityFor
removed
github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/libraries/Library.LocationPriorityForThat method was outdated and must not be used.
golang API: method github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/commands/core/GetPlatforms
renamed
github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/commands/core/GetPlatformsThe following method in
github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/commands/core:1func GetPlatforms(req *rpc.PlatformListRequest) ([]*rpc.Platform, error) { ... }has been changed to:
1func PlatformList(req *rpc.PlatformListRequest) (*rpc.PlatformListResponse, error) { ... }now it better follows the gRPC API interface. Old code like the following:
1platforms, _ := core.GetPlatforms(&rpc.PlatformListRequest{Instance: inst})2for _, i := range platforms {3 ...4}must be changed as follows:
1// Use PlatformList function instead of GetPlatforms2platforms, _ := core.PlatformList(&rpc.PlatformListRequest{Instance: inst})3// Access installed platforms through the .InstalledPlatforms field4for _, i := range platforms.InstalledPlatforms {5 ...6}0.31.0
Added post_install
script support for tools
post_installThe
post_install script now runs when a tool is correctly installed and the CLI is in "interactive" mode. This
behavior can be configured.golang API: methods in github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/cores/packagemanager
changed signature
github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/cores/packagemanagerThe following methods in
github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/cores/packagemanager:1func (pme *Explorer) InstallTool(toolRelease *cores.ToolRelease, taskCB rpc.TaskProgressCB) error { ... }2func (pme *Explorer) RunPostInstallScript(platformRelease *cores.PlatformRelease) error { ... }have changed.
InstallTool requires the new skipPostInstall parameter, which must be set to true to skip the post
install script. RunPostInstallScript does not require a *cores.PlatformRelease parameter but requires a
*paths.Path parameter:1func (pme *Explorer) InstallTool(toolRelease *cores.ToolRelease, taskCB rpc.TaskProgressCB, skipPostInstall bool) error {...}2func (pme *Explorer) RunPostInstallScript(installDir *paths.Path) error { ... }0.30.0
Sketch name validation
The sketch name submitted via the
sketch new command of the CLI or the gRPC command
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.NewSketch are now validated. The applied rules follow the
sketch specifications.Existing sketch names violating the new constraint need to be updated.
daemon
CLI command's --ip
flag removal
daemon--ipThe
daemon CLI command no longer allows to set a custom ip for the gRPC communication. Currently there is not enough
bandwith to support this feature. For this reason, the --ip flag has been removed.board attach
CLI command changed behaviour
board attachThe
board attach CLI command has changed behaviour: now it just pick whatever port and FQBN is passed as parameter and
saves it in the sketch.yaml file, without any validity check or board autodetection.The
sketch.json file is now completely ignored.cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.BoardAttach
gRPC interface command removal
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.BoardAttachThe
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.BoardAttach gRPC command has been removed. This feature is no longer available through

it can now be used to check any library, not only the libraries available in the index. Also the return value has
changed to a LibraryInstallPlan structure, it contains the same information as before (TargetPath and ReplacedLib)
plus Name, Version, and an UpToDate boolean flag.InstallZipLib method archivePath is now a paths.Path instead of a string.golang API change in github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/rduino/cores/packagemanager.Explorer
github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/rduino/cores/packagemanager.ExplorerThe
packagemanager.Explorer method FindToolsRequiredForBoard:1func (pme *Explorer) FindToolsRequiredForBoard(board *cores.Board) ([]*cores.ToolRelease, error) { ... }has been renamed to `FindToolsRequiredForBuild:
1func (pme *Explorer) FindToolsRequiredForBuild(platform, buildPlatform *cores.PlatformRelease) ([]*cores.ToolRelease, error) { ... }moreover it now requires the
platform and the buildPlatform (a.k.a. the referenced platform core used for the
compile) instead of the board. Usually these two value are obtained from the Explorer.ResolveFQBN(...) method.0.29.0

Breaking changes in libraries name handling
In the structure
github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/libraries.Library the field:
has been renamed toRealNameName
has been renamed toNameDirName
Now
Name is the name of the library as it appears in the library.properties file and DirName it's the name of the
directory containing the library. The DirName is usually the name of the library with non-alphanumeric characters
converted to underscore, but it could be actually anything since the directory where the library is installed can be
freely renamed.This change improves the overall code base naming coherence since all the structures involving libraries have the
Name
field that refers to the library name as it appears in the library.properties file.gRPC message cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.Library
no longer has real_name
field
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.Libraryreal_nameYou must use the

github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/libraries/librariesmanager.LibraryAlternatives
removed
github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/libraries/librariesmanager.LibraryAlternativesThe structure
librariesmanager.LibraryAlternatives has been removed. The libraries.List object can be used as a
replacement.Breaking changes in UpdateIndex API (both gRPC and go-lang)
The gRPC message
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.DownloadProgress has been changed from:1message DownloadProgress {2 // URL of the download.3 string url = 1;4 // The file being downloaded.5 string file = 2;6 // Total size of the file being downloaded.7 int64 total_size = 3;8 // Size of the downloaded portion of the file.9 int64 downloaded = 4;10 // Whether the download is complete.11 bool completed = 5;12}to

Some examples:27 // "File xxx already downloaded" or "Connection timeout"28 string message = 2;29}The new message format allows a better handling of the progress update reports on downloads. Every download now will report a sequence of message as follows:
1DownloadProgressStart{url="https://...", label="Downloading package index..."}2DownloadProgressUpdate{downloaded=0, total_size=103928}3DownloadProgressUpdate{downloaded=29380, total_size=103928}4DownloadProgressUpdate{downloaded=69540, total_size=103928}5DownloadProgressEnd{success=true, message=""}or if an error occurs:

1DownloadProgressStart{url="https://...", label="Downloading package index..."}2DownloadProgressEnd{success=true, message="Index already downloaded"}About the go-lang API the following functions in
github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/commands:1func UpdateIndex(ctx context.Context, req *rpc.UpdateIndexRequest, downloadCB rpc.DownloadProgressCB) (*rpc.UpdateIndexResponse, error) { ... }have changed their signature to:
1func UpdateIndex(ctx context.Context, req *rpc.UpdateIndexRequest, downloadCB rpc.DownloadProgressCB, downloadResultCB rpc.DownloadResultCB) error { ... }UpdateIndex do not return anymore the latest UpdateIndexResponse (beacuse it was always empty).0.27.0
Breaking changes in golang API github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/cores/packagemanager.PackageManager
github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/cores/packagemanager.PackageManagerThe
PackageManager API has been heavily refactored to correctly handle multitasking and concurrency. Many fields in
the PackageManager object are now private. All the PackageManager methods have been moved into other objects. In
particular:- the methods that query the
without changing its internal state, have been moved into the newPackageManager
objectExplorer - the methods that change the
internal state, have been moved into the newPackageManager
object.Builder
The
Builder object must be used to create a new PackageManager. Previously the function NewPackageManager was used
to get a clean PackageManager object and then use the LoadHardware* methods to build it. Now the function
NewBuilder must be used to create a Builder, run the LoadHardware* methods to load platforms, and finally call the
Builder.Build() method to obtain the final PackageManager.Previously we did:
1pm := packagemanager.NewPackageManager(...)2err = pm.LoadHardware()3err = pm.LoadHardwareFromDirectories(...)4err = pm.LoadHardwareFromDirectory(...)5err = pm.LoadToolsFromPackageDir(...)6err = pm.LoadToolsFromBundleDirectories(...)7err = pm.LoadToolsFromBundleDirectory(...)8pack = pm.GetOrCreatePackage("packagername")9// ...use `pack` to tweak or load more hardware...10err = pm.LoadPackageIndex(...)11err = pm.LoadPackageIndexFromFile(...)12err = pm.LoadHardwareForProfile(...)13
14// ...use `pm` to implement business logic...Now we must do:
1var pm *packagemanager.PackageManager2
3{4 pmb := packagemanager.Newbuilder(...)5 err = pmb.LoadHardware()6 err = pmb.LoadHardwareFromDirectories(...)7 err = pmb.LoadHardwareFromDirectory(...)8 err = pmb.LoadToolsFromPackageDir(...)9 err = pmb.LoadToolsFromBundleDirectories(...)10 err = pmb.LoadToolsFromBundleDirectory(...)11 pack = pmb.GetOrCreatePackage("packagername")12 // ...use `pack` to tweak or load more hardware...13 err = pmb.LoadPackageIndex(...)14 err = pmb.LoadPackageIndexFromFile(...)15 err = pmb.LoadHardwareForProfile(...)16 pm = pmb.Build()17}18
19// ...use `pm` to implement business logic...It's not mandatory but highly recommended, to drop the
Builder object once it has built the PackageManager (that's
why in the example the pmb builder is created in a limited scope between braces).To query the
PackagerManager now it is required to obtain an Explorer object through the
PackageManager.NewExplorer() method.Previously we did:
1func DoStuff(pm *packagemanager.PackageManager, ...) {2 // ...implement business logic through PackageManager methods...3 ... := pm.Packages4 ... := pm.CustomGlobalProperties5 ... := pm.FindPlatform(...)6 ... := pm.FindPlatformRelease(...)7 ... := pm.FindPlatformReleaseDependencies(...)8 ... := pm.DownloadToolRelease(...)9 ... := pm.DownloadPlatformRelease(...)10 ... := pm.IdentifyBoard(...)11 ... := pm.DownloadAndInstallPlatformUpgrades(...)12 ... := pm.DownloadAndInstallPlatformAndTools(...)13 ... := pm.InstallPlatform(...)14 ... := pm.InstallPlatformInDirectory(...)15 ... := pm.RunPostInstallScript(...)16 ... := pm.IsManagedPlatformRelease(...)17 ... := pm.UninstallPlatform(...)18 ... := pm.InstallTool(...)19 ... := pm.IsManagedToolRelease(...)20 ... := pm.UninstallTool(...)21 ... := pm.IsToolRequired(...)22 ... := pm.LoadDiscoveries(...)23 ... := pm.GetProfile(...)24 ... := pm.GetEnvVarsForSpawnedProcess(...)25 ... := pm.DiscoveryManager(...)26 ... := pm.FindPlatformReleaseProvidingBoardsWithVidPid(...)27 ... := pm.FindBoardsWithVidPid(...)28 ... := pm.FindBoardsWithID(...)29 ... := pm.FindBoardWithFQBN(...)30 ... := pm.ResolveFQBN(...)31 ... := pm.Package(...)32 ... := pm.GetInstalledPlatformRelease(...)33 ... := pm.GetAllInstalledToolsReleases(...)34 ... := pm.InstalledPlatformReleases(...)35 ... := pm.InstalledBoards(...)36 ... := pm.FindToolsRequiredFromPlatformRelease(...)37 ... := pm.GetTool(...)38 ... := pm.FindToolsRequiredForBoard(...)39 ... := pm.FindToolDependency(...)40 ... := pm.FindDiscoveryDependency(...)41 ... := pm.FindMonitorDependency(...)42}Now we must obtain the
Explorer object to access the same methods, moreover, we must call the release callback
function once we complete the task:1func DoStuff(pm *packagemanager.PackageManager, ...) {2 pme, release := pm.NewExplorer()3 defer release()4
5 ... := pme.GetPackages()6 ... := pme.GetCustomGlobalProperties()7 ... := pme.FindPlatform(...)8 ... := pme.FindPlatformRelease(...)9 ... := pme.FindPlatformReleaseDependencies(...)10 ... := pme.DownloadToolRelease(...)11 ... := pme.DownloadPlatformRelease(...)12 ... := pme.IdentifyBoard(...)13 ... := pme.DownloadAndInstallPlatformUpgrades(...)14 ... := pme.DownloadAndInstallPlatformAndTools(...)15 ... := pme.InstallPlatform(...)16 ... := pme.InstallPlatformInDirectory(...)17 ... := pme.RunPostInstallScript(...)18 ... := pme.IsManagedPlatformRelease(...)19 ... := pme.UninstallPlatform(...)20 ... := pme.InstallTool(...)21 ... := pme.IsManagedToolRelease(...)22 ... := pme.UninstallTool(...)23 ... := pme.IsToolRequired(...)24 ... := pme.LoadDiscoveries(...)25 ... := pme.GetProfile(...)26 ... := pme.GetEnvVarsForSpawnedProcess(...)27 ... := pme.DiscoveryManager(...)28 ... := pme.FindPlatformReleaseProvidingBoardsWithVidPid(...)29 ... := pme.FindBoardsWithVidPid(...)30 ... := pme.FindBoardsWithID(...)31 ... := pme.FindBoardWithFQBN(...)32 ... := pme.ResolveFQBN(...)33 ... := pme.Package(...)34 ... := pme.GetInstalledPlatformRelease(...)35 ... := pme.GetAllInstalledToolsReleases(...)36 ... := pme.InstalledPlatformReleases(...)37 ... := pme.InstalledBoards(...)38 ... := pme.FindToolsRequiredFromPlatformRelease(...)39 ... := pme.GetTool(...)40 ... := pme.FindToolsRequiredForBoard(...)41 ... := pme.FindToolDependency(...)42 ... := pme.FindDiscoveryDependency(...)43 ... := pme.FindMonitorDependency(...)44}The
Explorer object keeps a read-lock on the underlying PackageManager that must be released once the task is done
by calling the release callback function. This ensures that no other task will change the status of the
PackageManager while the current task is in progress.The
PackageManager.Clean() method has been removed and replaced by the methods:PackageManager.NewBuilder() (*Builder, commit func())Builder.BuildIntoExistingPackageManager(target *PackageManager)
Previously, to update a
PackageManager instance we did:1func Reload(pm *packagemanager.PackageManager) {2 pm.Clear()3 ... = pm.LoadHardware(...)4 // ...other pm.Load* calls...5}now we have two options:
1func Reload(pm *packagemanager.PackageManager) {2 // Create a new builder and build a package manager3 pmb := packagemanager.NewBuilder(.../* config params */)4 ... = pmb.LoadHardware(...)5 // ...other pmb.Load* calls...6
7 // apply the changes to the original pm8 pmb.BuildIntoExistingPackageManager(pm)9}in this case, we create a new
Builder with the given config params and once the package manager is built we apply the
changes atomically with BuildIntoExistingPackageManager. This procedure may be even more simplified with:1func Reload(pm *packagemanager.PackageManager) {2 // Create a new builder using the same config params3 // as the original package manager4 pmb, commit := pm.NewBuilder()5
6 // build the new package manager7 ... = pmb.LoadHardware(...)8 // ...other pmb.Load* calls...9
10 // apply the changes to the original pm11 commit()12}In this case, we don't even need to bother to provide the configuration parameters because they are taken from the previous
PackageManager instance.Some gRPC-mapped methods now accepts the gRPC request instead of the instance ID as parameter

Arduino CLI does not check anymore if it's bundled with the Arduino IDE 1.x. Previously this check allowed the Arduino CLI to automatically use the libraries and tools bundled in the Arduino IDE, now this is not supported anymore unless the configuration keys

Arduino IDE builtin libraries are now excluded from the build when running arduino-cli
standalone
arduino-cliPreviously the "builtin libraries" in the Arduino IDE 1.8.x were always included in the build process. This wasn't the intended behaviour,
arduino-cli should include them only if run as a daemon from the Arduino IDE. Now this is fixed,
but since it has been the default behaviour from a very long time we decided to report it here as a breaking change.If a compilation fail for a missing bundled library, you can fix it just by installing the missing library from the library manager as usual.
gRPC: Changes in message cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.PlatformReference
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.PlatformReferenceThe gRPC message structure
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.PlatformReference has been renamed to
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.InstalledPlatformReference, and some new fields have been added:
is the installation directory of the platforminstall_dir
is the 3rd party platform URL of the platformpackage_url
It is currently used only in
cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1.CompileResponse, so the field type has been changed as well.
Old gRPC clients must only update gRPC bindings. They can safely ignore the new fields if not needed.golang API: github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/cli/globals.DefaultIndexURL
has been moved under github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/globals
github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/cli/globals.DefaultIndexURLgithub.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/globalsLegacy code should just update the import.

arguments.GetDiscoveryPort(...)NOTE: the functions in the
arguments package doesn't have much use outside of the arduino-cli so we are considering
to remove them from the public golang API making them internal.The old function:
1func (p *Port) GetDiscoveryPort(instance *rpc.Instance, sk *sketch.Sketch) *discovery.Port { }is now replaced by the more powerful:
1func (p *Port) DetectFQBN(inst *rpc.Instance) (string, *rpc.Port) { }2
3func CalculateFQBNAndPort(portArgs *Port, fqbnArg *Fqbn, instance *rpc.Instance, sk *sketch.Sketch) (string, *rpc.Port) { }gRPC: address

packagemanager.PackageManager.DownloadToolRelease
, packagemanager.PackageManager.DownloadPlatformRelease
, and resources.DownloadResource.Download
functions change signature and behaviour
packagemanager.PackageManager.DownloadToolReleasepackagemanager.PackageManager.DownloadPlatformReleaseresources.DownloadResource.DownloadThe following functions:
1func (pm *PackageManager) DownloadToolRelease(tool *cores.ToolRelease, config *downloader.Config) (*downloader.Downloader, error)2func (pm *PackageManager) DownloadPlatformRelease(platform *cores.PlatformRelease, config *downloader.Config) (*downloader.Downloader, error)3func (r *DownloadResource) Download(downloadDir *paths.Path, config *downloader.Config) (*downloader.Downloader, error)now requires a label and a progress callback parameter, do not return the
Downloader object anymore, and they
automatically handles the download internally:1func (pm *PackageManager) DownloadToolRelease(tool *cores.ToolRelease, config *downloader.Config, label string, progressCB rpc.DownloadProgressCB) error2func (pm *PackageManager) DownloadPlatformRelease(platform *cores.PlatformRelease, config *downloader.Config, label string, progressCB rpc.DownloadProgressCB) error3func (r *DownloadResource) Download(downloadDir *paths.Path, config *downloader.Config, label string, downloadCB rpc.DownloadProgressCB) errorThe new progress parameters must be added to legacy code, if progress reports are not needed an empty stub for
label
and progressCB must be provided. There is no more need to execute the downloader.Run() or
downloader.RunAndPoll(...) method.For example, the old legacy code like:
1downloader, err := pm.DownloadPlatformRelease(platformToDownload, config)2if err != nil {3 ...4}5if err := downloader.Run(); err != nil {6 ...7}may be ported to the new version as:
1err := pm.DownloadPlatformRelease(platformToDownload, config, "", func(progress *rpc.DownloadProgress) {})packagemanager.Load*
functions now returns error
instead of *status.Status
packagemanager.Load*error*status.StatusThe following functions signature:

error.Removed error
return from discovery.New(...)
function
errordiscovery.New(...)The
discovery.New(...) function never fails, so the error has been removed, the old signature:1func New(id string, args ...string) (*PluggableDiscovery, error) { ... }is now:
1func New(id string, args ...string) *PluggableDiscovery { ... }0.21.0

commands.CreateA new argument
extraUserAgent has been added to commands.Create, the new function signature is:1func Create(req *rpc.CreateRequest, extraUserAgent ...string) (*rpc.CreateResponse, error) {extraUserAgent is an array of strings, so multiple user agent may be provided. Each user agent must be in the format
"ProgramName/Version", for example "arduino-cli/0.20.1".commands.Compile

github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/legacy/i18ni18n.LoggerThe
i18n.Logger is no longer available. It was mainly used in the legacy builder struct field Context.Logger.The
Context.Logger field has been replaced with plain io.Writer fields Contex.Stdout and Context.Stderr. All
existing logger functionality has been dropped, for example the Java-Style formatting with tags like {0} {1}... must
be replaced with one of the equivalent golang printf-based alternatives and logging levels must be replaced with direct
writes to Stdout or Stderr.0.20.0

boards array has been renamed matching_boards, each contained object will now contain only name and fqbn.
Properties that can be used to identify a board are now moved to the new properties object, it can contain any key
name. pid and vid have been moved to properties, serial_number has been renamed serialNumber and moved to
properties. The new label field is the name of the port if it should be displayed in a GUI.gRPC interface DebugConfigRequest

function
InitPreviously the
Init function was used to both create a new CoreInstance and initialize it, so that the internal
package and library managers were already populated with all the information available from *_index.json files,
installed platforms and libraries and so on.Now the initialization phase is split into two, first the client must create a new
CoreInstance with the Create
function, that does mainly two things:- create all folders necessary to correctly run the CLI if not already existing
- create and return a new
CoreInstance
The
Create function will only fail if folders creation is not successful.The returned instance is relatively unusable since no library and no platform is loaded, some functions that don't need that information can still be called though.
The
Init function has been greatly overhauled and it doesn't fail completely if one or more platforms or libraries
fail to load now.Also the option
library_manager_only has been removed, the package manager is always initialized and platforms are
loaded.The
Init was already a server-side streaming function but it would always return one and only one response, this has
been modified so that each response is either an error or a notification on the initialization process so that it works
more like an actual stream of information.Previously a client would call the function like so:
1const initReq = new InitRequest()2initReq.setLibraryManagerOnly(false)3const initResp = await new Promise<InitResponse>((resolve, reject) => {4 let resp: InitResponse | undefined = undefined5 const stream = client.init(initReq)6 stream.on("data", (data: InitResponse) => (resp = data))7 stream.on("end", () => resolve(resp!))8 stream.on("error", (err) => reject(err))9})10
11const instance = initResp.getInstance()12if (!instance) {13 throw new Error("Could not retrieve instance from the initialize response.")14}Now something similar should be done.
1const createReq = new CreateRequest()2const instance = client.create(createReq)3
4if (!instance) {5 throw new Error("Could not retrieve instance from the initialize response.")6}7
8const initReq = new InitRequest()9initReq.setInstance(instance)10const initResp = client.init(initReq)11initResp.on("data", (o: InitResponse) => {12 const downloadProgress = o.getDownloadProgress()13 if (downloadProgress) {14 // Handle download progress15 }16 const taskProgress = o.getTaskProgress()17 if (taskProgress) {18 // Handle task progress19 }20 const err = o.getError()21 if (err) {22 // Handle error23 }24})25
26await new Promise<void>((resolve, reject) => {27 initResp.on("error", (err) => reject(err))28 initResp.on("end", resolve)29})Previously if even one platform or library failed to load everything else would fail too, that doesn't happen anymore. Now it's easier for both the CLI and the gRPC clients to handle gracefully platforms or libraries updates that might break the initialization step and make everything unusable.
Removal of gRPC Rescan
function
RescanThe
Rescan function has been removed, in its place the Init function must be used.Change of behaviour of gRPC UpdateIndex
and UpdateLibrariesIndex
functions
UpdateIndexUpdateLibrariesIndexPreviously both
UpdateIndex and UpdateLibrariesIndex functions implicitly called Rescan so that the internal
CoreInstance was updated with the eventual new information obtained in the update.This behaviour is now removed and the internal
CoreInstance must be explicitly updated by the gRPC client using the
Init function.Removed rarely used golang API
The following function from the
github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/arduino/libraries module is no longer available:1func (lm *LibrariesManager) UpdateIndex(config *downloader.Config) (*downloader.Downloader, error) {We recommend using the equivalent gRPC API to perform the update of the index.
0.18.0
Breaking changes in gRPC API and CLI JSON output.
Starting from this release we applied a more rigorous and stricter naming conventions in gRPC API following the official guidelines: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/style
We also started using a linter to implement checks for gRPC API style errors.
This provides a better consistency and higher quality API but inevitably introduces breaking changes.
gRPC API breaking changes
Consumers of the gRPC API should regenerate their bindings and update all structures naming where necessary. Most of the changes are trivial and falls into the following categories:
- Service names have been suffixed with
(for example...Service
->ArduinoCore
)ArduinoCoreService - Message names suffix has been changed from
/...Req
to...Resp
/...Request
(for example...Response
->BoardDetailsReq
)BoardDetailsRequest - Enumerations now have their class name prefixed (for example the enumeration value
inFLAT
has been changed toLibraryLayout
)LIBRARY_LAYOUT_FLAT - Use of lower-snake case on all fields (for example:
->ID
,id
->FQBN
,fqbn
->Name
,name
->ArchiveFilename
)archive_filename - Package names are now versioned (for example
->cc.arduino.cli.commands
)cc.arduino.cli.commands.v1 - Repeated responses are now in plural form (
->identification_pref
,identification_prefs
->platform
)platforms
arduino-cli JSON output breaking changes

Change type of CompileReq.ExportBinaries
message in gRPC interface
CompileReq.ExportBinariesThis change affects only the gRPC consumers.
In the
CompileReq message the export_binaries property type has been changed from bool to
google.protobuf.BoolValue. This has been done to handle settings bindings by gRPC consumers and the CLI in the same
way so that they an identical behaviour.0.15.0
Rename telemetry
settings to metrics
telemetrymetricsAll instances of the term
telemetry in the code and the documentation has been changed to metrics. This has been
done to clarify that no data is currently gathered from users of the CLI.To handle this change the users must edit their config file, usually
arduino-cli.yaml, and change the telemetry key
to metrics. The modification must be done by manually editing the file using a text editor, it can't be done via CLI.
No other action is necessary.The default folders for the
arduino-cli.yaml are:- Linux:
/home/<your_username>/.arduino15/arduino-cli.yaml - OS X:
/Users/<your_username>/Library/Arduino15/arduino-cli.yaml - Windows:
C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Local\Arduino15\arduino-cli.yaml
0.14.0
Changes in debug
command
debugPreviously it was required:
- To provide a debug command line recipe in
likeplatform.txt
that will start atools.reciped-id.debug.pattern=.....
session for the selected board.gdb - To add a
definition in thedebug.tool
to recall that recipe, for exampleboards.txtmyboard.debug.tool=recipe-id
Now:
- Only the configuration needs to be supplied, the
or the GUI tool will figure out how to call and setup thearduino-cli
session. An example of configuration is the following:gdb
1debug.executable={build.path}/{build.project_name}.elf2debug.toolchain=gcc3debug.toolchain.path={runtime.tools.arm-none-eabi-gcc-7-2017q4.path}/bin/4debug.toolchain.prefix=arm-none-eabi5debug.server=openocd6debug.server.openocd.path={runtime.tools.openocd-0.10.0-arduino7.path}/bin/7debug.server.openocd.scripts_dir={runtime.tools.openocd-0.10.0-arduino7.path}/share/openocd/scripts/8debug.server.openocd.script={runtime.platform.path}/variants/{build.variant}/{build.openocdscript}The
debug.executable key must be present and non-empty for debugging to be supported.The
debug.server.XXXX subkeys are optional and also "free text", this means that the configuration may be extended as
needed by the specific server. For now only openocd is supported. Anyway, if this change works, any other kind of
server may be fairly easily added.The
debug.xxx=yyy definitions above may be supplied and overlayed in the usual ways:- on
: definition here will be shared through all boards in the platformplatform.txt - on
as part of a board definition: they will override the global platform definitionsboards.txt - on
: they will override the boards and global platform definitions if the programmer is selectedprogrammers.txt
Binaries export must now be explicitly specified
Previously, if the
--build-path was not specified, compiling a Sketch would copy the generated binaries in
<sketch_folder>/build/<fqbn>/, uploading to a board required that path to exist and contain the necessary binaries.The
--dry-run flag was removed.The default,
compile does not copy generated binaries to the sketch folder. The --export-binaries (-e) flag was
introduced to copy the binaries from the build folder to the sketch one. --export-binaries is not required when using
the --output-dir flag. A related configuration key and environment variable has been added to avoid the need to always
specify the --export-binaries flag: sketch.always_export_binaries and ARDUINO_SKETCH_ALWAYS_EXPORT_BINARIES.If
--input-dir or --input-file is not set when calling upload the command will search for the deterministically
created build directory in the temp folder and use the binaries found there.The gRPC interface has been updated accordingly,
dryRun is removed.Programmers can't be listed anymore using burn-bootloader -P list
burn-bootloader -P listThe
-P flag is used to select the programmer used to burn the bootloader on the specified board. Using -P list to
list all the possible programmers for the current board was hackish.This way has been removed in favour of
board details <fqbn> --list-programmers.lib install --git-url
and --zip-file
must now be explicitly enabled
lib install --git-url--zip-fileWith the introduction of the
--git-url and --zip-file flags the new config key library.enable_unsafe_install has
been added to enable them.This changes the ouput of the
config dump command.Change behaviour of --config-file
flag with config
commands
--config-fileconfigTo create a new config file with
config init one must now use --dest-dir or the new --dest-file flags. Previously
the config file would always be overwritten by this command, now it fails if the it already exists, to force the
previous behaviour the user must set the --overwrite flag.
