I have a raspberry pi running raspbian on it. I want to create code and upload code on the same hardware (Host and Guest are same hardware). So I have a raspberry pi with raspbian and vscode on it. I create the code on the raspberry pi(platformIO vscode) then I want to run that code on the same raspberry pi(upload the code to the hardware that created the code).
I currently have vscode and platformIO installed on my raspberry pi, and I just tried uploading but it failed because the upload_port doesnât know how to redirect back to itself(its expects the Host and Guest to be different rather than the same).
How do I upload code onto an OS rather than as firmware?
PS. As a hack Iâm using âpio testâ to run the code on top of the raspbian OS, but I do not like this solution at all!
After building the binary will be stored to .pio\build\<environment name>\program.exe. When I try to upload it via pio run -t upload just says
*** Do not know how to make File target `upload' (C:\Users\Maxi\native_test\upload). Stop.
So I guess there is no sensible implementation there. I would expect to set upload_port to a folder path and for it to then put the program there, but that doesnât seem to happen. You should create an issue at Issues ¡ platformio/platform-native ¡ GitHub to ask for an implementation of the âuploadâ behavior.
Meanwhile you can write a simple bash script which just executes the binary after compiling it.
compile.sh
pio run && ./pio/build/<environment name>/program

Please file an issue here Issues ¡ platformio/platform-linux_arm ¡ GitHub and we will implement upload for native dev/platforms. Thanks!
