I’m wondering about the feasibility, or wisdom, of initialising a project with the -ide option (codeblocks) and more than one board? For example:
pio init --ide codeblocks --board uno --board nanoatmega328
I have tried this but the codeblocks project file created has two targets, debug and release, and running a build compiles both boards. I didn’t try an upload (via the run option in CodeBlocks) as the commands in the project file don’t determine an environment (-e
option) so I assume the final code uploaded to whichever device was plugged in, would be the final code compiled - and not necessarily the correct version.
I would expect (!) that there would be a target for uno and another for nanoatmega328. It appears that the dubug and release targets use the same command lines to compile, clean etc - so there’s no need to have both (in my opinion) unless other boards do have a separate debug target.
I also noticed that one of the compiler defines, ARDUINO_AVR_UNO, is the only board mentioned - so this might be a bit of a problem perhaps?
So I edited my project file and created a target for uno and one for nanoatmega328 where I simply added the -e uno
or -e nanoatmega328
options to the appropriate command lines, after the run
command. It seemed to work in the IDE, but I’m suspicious of that ARDUINO_AVR_UNO define that appears to always be passed. It’s fine for the Uno, but is it ok for the Nano I wonder?
Failing all of the above, I would suspect that the pio init --ide ...
command should check for one and only one target board?
This is all on the latest 4.1.0 release.
Cheers,
Norm.
