Arduino CLI install (how to use)

This is a way for us to compile and upload our arduino code from the terminal.

cd ~/
echo "export PATH=\$PATH:~/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arduino/arduino-cli/master/install.sh | sh

arduino-cli config init --additional-urls https://github.com/stm32duino/BoardManagerFiles/raw/master/STM32/package_stm_index.json
arduino-cli core update-index
arduino-cli core install arduino:avr
arduino-cli core install STM32:stm32

STMCubeProgrammer install (optional)

This is needed to upload code to the STM32s.

Download STM32CubePrg-Lin from here. Note that to download you only need to input your email so that they can send you the download in an email. Make sure to choose Save file when prompted.

When it downloads, we can go ahead and install it. When you get the install window just power through without changing any defaults.

#install java
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jre-headless
sudo apt install openjfx=8u161-b12-1ubuntu2 libopenjfx-jni=8u161-b12-1ubuntu2 libopenjfx-java=8u161-b12-1ubuntu2
sudo apt-mark hold openjfx libopenjfx-jni libopenjfx-java

#install STMCubeProgrammer
cd ~/Downloads
mkdir stm32prog
unzip *stm32cube*.zip -d stm32prog/
./stm32prog/Setup*.linux

echo "export PATH="\$PATH:$HOME/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeProgrammer/bin" >> ~/.bashrc

Other

Add autocompletion to arduino-cli

arduino-cli completion bash > arduino-cli.sh
sudo mv arduino-cli.sh /etc/bash_completion.d/

Compile and upload (-u) the code including the libraries in firmware/libraries. This must be run in the sketch folder

arduino-cli compile -b STM32:stm32:GenF4:pnum=Generic_F401RE,upload_method=dfuMethod,xserial=generic,usb=CDCgen,xusb=FS,opt=osstd,rtlib=nano --libraries ../../libraries --clean -u

Add --clean if things are being wack, as messing with adding libraries might need this. Also note that the newer boards use Generic_F401RB instead of the RE variant due to sourcing problems.

For Nano:

arduino-cli compile -b arduino:avr:nano:cpu=atmega328old -p /dev/ttyUSB0 --libraries ../../libraries --clean -u

Update ros_lib (if new custom messages are made)

cd ~/NUice/firmware/lib
rm -rf ros_lib
rosrun rosserial_arduino make_libraries.py .
