Larger builds for Arduino project using PlatformIO and CLion, 1.8kB lost!

zoonman · October 25, 2018, 9:29pm

The build size of PlatformIO is different from Arduino build size.

Project platformio.ini:

[env:nanoatmega328]
platform = atmelavr
board = nanoatmega328
framework = arduino
lib_extra_dirs = /Users/zoonman/Documents/Arduino/libraries
lib_ldf_mode = chain
; build_unflags = -lstdc++ -larm_cortexM4l_math

I tried build_unflags suggested in similar topic.

PlatformIO:

DATA: [==== ] 40.6% (used 831 bytes from 2048 bytes)
PROGRAM: [========= ] 87.6% (used 26900 bytes from 30720 bytes)

Complete CLion Output

Build finished

Arduino:

Sketch uses 25070 bytes (81%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes.
Global variables use 826 bytes (40%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1222 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

Maybe there is a way to use Arduino IDE’s compilers and options?

zoonman · October 25, 2018, 10:19pm

I was able to extract compiler options from arduino-builder. But I am not sure what is inside PlatformIO.

Looks like Arduino is using a more modern version of compiler 5.4.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino2 while platformio toolchain sticks to 4.9.2.
Does anyone know how to use toolchain from Arduino IDE?

azarubkin · October 26, 2018, 12:55pm

Please open an issue in Platformio bugtracker to update the compiler version (toolchain-atmelavr).

zoonman · October 26, 2018, 1:08pm

I think there is the one Use arduino-cli · Issue #107 · platformio/platform-atmelavr · GitHub ?

azarubkin · October 26, 2018, 6:53pm

Well, I’ve read its description and it’s not related to compiler IMO.

ivankravets · October 26, 2018, 10:15pm

Atmel AVR toolchain has been updated to 5.4.0

Please re-test with upstream version Atmel AVR — PlatformIO latest documentation

zoonman · October 26, 2018, 10:26pm

New build is Awesome!

4.9.2:

DATA:    [====      ]  40.8% (used 836 bytes from 2048 bytes)
PROGRAM: [========= ]  89.9% (used 27620 bytes from 30720 bytes)

And kicking ass 5.4.0:

DATA:    [====      ]  40.4% (used 828 bytes from 2048 bytes)
PROGRAM: [========  ]  83.9% (used 25770 bytes from 30720 bytes)

Just programmed my Nano and everything worked fine!

Great! We have just released v1.12.0 of Atmel AVR dev/platform. Please update to stable version: PIO IDE > PIO Home > Platforms > Updates
