Other paths in avrdude.upload.pattern are wrapped in double quotes, and
this -P{serial.port} causes issues with some platforms. This allows
serial port devices which include spaces and other characters. Without
this fix a /dev/tty* or /dev/cu* device that includes a space in its
name gets truncated when passed to avrdude. Error messages returned
from avrdude are cryptic, and workarounds (symlinks) are prone to
failure.
Fixes#3693
Arduino AVR Boards 1.6.11 added the {upload.verify} property to the tools.avrdude.upload recipe and {program.verify} to the tools.avrdude.program recipe to support the File > Preferences > Verify code after upload setting.
In Arduino IDE versions 1.6.8 and previous upload.verify is set to true or false depending on the preferences setting which causes Upload to an AVR board with Arduino IDE 1.6.8 or older and Arduino AVR Boards 1.6.11 or newer to generate AVRDUDE commands like:
avrdude -CC:\Users\per\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\avrdude\6.3.0-arduino2/etc/avrdude.conf -v true -patmega328p -carduino -PCOM21 -b115200 -D -Uflash:w:C:\Users\per\AppData\Local\Temp\buildece560c1024a4a94b7c3b05be61aa2fc.tmp/sketch_sep28a.ino.hex:i
program.verify is unset, which causes Upload Using Programmer to an AVR board with Arduino IDE 1.6.8 or older and Arduino AVR Boards 1.6.11 or newer to generate AVRDUDE commands like:
avrdude -CC:\Users\per\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\avrdude\6.3.0-arduino6/etc/avrdude.conf -v {program.verify} -patmega328p -cusbasp -Pusb -Uflash:w:C:\Users\per\AppData\Local\Temp\build77ff2e21c5523c5895e8d065447461cb.tmp/sketch_sep28a.ino.hex:i
AVRDUDE 6.0.1 is able to ignore the spurious item in the command and successfully upload but when used with AVRDUDE 6.3.0 this causes upload to fail:
avrdude: no programmer has been specified on the command line or the config file
Specify a programmer using the -c option and try again
This means that Arduino AVR Boards 1.6.12 and 1.6.14 are not backwards compatible with Arduino IDE 1.6.8 and previous.
Setting a default empty value for the upload.verify and program.verify properties in platform.txt causes Arduino IDE 1.6.8 and older to generate an AVRDUDE command identical to that generated with Arduino AVR Boards 1.6.10 or older(meaning that, as previously, the preferences setting has no effect):
avrdude -CC:\Users\per\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\avrdude\6.3.0-arduino2/etc/avrdude.conf -v -patmega328p -carduino -PCOM21 -b115200 -D -Uflash:w:C:\Users\per\AppData\Local\Temp\buildece560c1024a4a94b7c3b05be61aa2fc.tmp/sketch_sep28a.ino.hex:i
Arduino IDE 1.6.9 and newer overrides the default values of upload.verify and program.verify, therefore this change has no effect on the AVRDUDE command generated and verification is controlled by the preferences setting as usual.
Tested back to Arduino IDE 1.6.2, the oldest IDE version that supports Boards Manager updates.
Previously, during the build, the full package_index.json was downloaded
and distributed with the Arduino IDE.
This lead to a situation where it was difficult to test new AVR cores
before publishing them to the public package_index.json.
Now the bundled AVR core is specificed in the file:
`hardware/package_index_bundled.json`
this index is loaded from the IDE at startup and the package_index.json
is overlayed on it.
This should also solve part of #5143 (Repeatable builds and snapshots of
package/library indexes)
Define archive_file_path in Arduino AVR Boards platform.txt to provide
backwards compatibility with IDE versions previous to 1.6.6. The
archive_file_path value set in platform.txt is overridden in IDE 1.6.6+.
This produces avr-ar commands identical to the previous behavior.
- Remove comment in Arduino AVR Boards platform.txt about -w flag. This
is no longer relevant since the compiler warning level is now set by the
user.
- Fix typos
This uses the gnu11 standard, which is C11 with GNU extensions.
Previously, gnu89 was being used, which is pretty ancient by now. C99
brings some important improvements, some of which were already available
and used even without this option. C11 is more recent and brings more
minor improvements. Most notable feature is the static_assert statement,
allowing checking invariants at compiletime using the full C
expressions.
This uses the gnu++11 standard, which is C++11 with GNU extensions.
C++11 should be full compatible with the previously used C++98
standards, so all pre-existing sketches should continue to work.
* Moving Upload options from "File" menu to "Sketch" menu as those
are sketch actions more than file actions.
