Arduino-cli on nixos

[fstefanni]

Hi,

I am trying to use arduino-cli on NixOS, but, after giving

arduino-cli update

the command to list the boards is empty:

arduino-cli board listall

So I am wondering how the CLI detects the correct host platform, since I suppose this is a host (NixOS) configuration fault.

Thank you,
regards

Hi @fstefanni. Have you used arduino-cli core install to install any Arduino boards platforms?

From the command documentation:

https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/latest/commands/arduino-cli_board_listall/

List all boards that have the support platform installed.

So it is expected that this command will produce an empty list of boards if you haven't installed any platforms.

Hi,

I re-checked carefully the commands, and I discovered that I was giving a wrong parameter to arduino-cli core install... so solved.

Thank you for the support.

You are welcome. I'm glad it is working now.
