Disable sketch verification after upload for Arduino Due

Hi everyone,
I would like to ask how to disable the sketch verification step after it is uploaded in my Arduino Due board. I already read this but I cannot find said directory. Could someone help me?

Thanks in advance

Please go to ~/.platformio/platforms/atmelsam and comment this

Thank you! Very usefull advice

Thank you!
Would it be possible to add an option to platformio.ini just to turn verification on/off, without having to rewrite the entire upload script?

You should be able to remove the --verify option (added here) by adding a extra_script that removes it. Basically from here you want

no_verify.py

Import("env")

old_flags = env["UPLOADERFLAGS"]
# filter out the --verify 
new_flags = [opt for opt in old_flags if opt != "--verify"]
# replace and update
env.Replace(
    UPLOADERFLAGS=new_flags,
    UPLOADCMD="$UPLOADER $UPLOADERFLAGS $SOURCES"
)

in platformio.ini

extra_scripts = no_verify.py

Thanks a lot! That’s simple enough.

Can anyone confirm if this still works with the latest version?

I’ve tried using the file in extra_scripts and it seems doesn’t work. Also tried searching for “verify” in main.py and its no longer there.

Is there a different way to disable verify on the latest version of platformio?

You need to post a verbose upload log (pio run -t upload -v) and your platformio.ini in order for us to be able to help you…

platformio.ini:

[env:pro16MHzatmega328]
platform = atmelavr
board = pro16MHzatmega328
framework = arduino
monitor_speed = 115200
     
lib_deps = 
 Adafruit GFX Library
 Adafruit PCD8544 Nokia 5110 LCD library
 EEPROM
 1569       ;RotaryEncoder
 FastPID
 SPI

extra_scripts = noverify.py

noverify.py

Import("env")

old_flags = env["UPLOADERFLAGS"]
# filter out the --verify 
new_flags = [opt for opt in old_flags if opt != "--verify"]
# replace and update
env.Replace(
    UPLOADERFLAGS=new_flags,
    UPLOADCMD="$UPLOADER $UPLOADERFLAGS $SOURCES"
)

avrdude done.  Thank you.

=======================================================================

This is thread about disabling --verify with the invocation of bossac for Atmel SAMD type MCUs, not your ATMega328…

Anyways, avrdude --help will tell you

 -V                         Do not verify.

The documentation will tell you:

upload_flags
Extra flags for uploader. Will be added to the end of uploader command

Since we just need to add a -V and not modify existing flags you do not need a extra_script, you just need

upload_flags = -V

Also the error

indicates that noverify.py is not even found (must be at the same directory level at platformio.ini). But anyways since you don’t need it, just delete the extra_script directive.

Thanks for the info. You learn something new every day :slight_smile:
Added

upload_flags = -V

and works like a charm.
