Hey folks, I’m pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. I must be missing something basic.
I have an Adafruit Feather M0 Adalogger board connected to my computer (MacOS) via its built-in microUSB port. No other wires or devices are connected to the Arduino.
I have platformio installed on my computer via brew, available as the pio command. I edit the code in CLion, but run pio-related commands in the terminal.
I created an empty platformio project and a test/test_main.cpp file with a simple blink test, file contents the same as here, verbatim (yes, it has the 2 second delay).
My platformio.ini file content is:
[env:adafruit_feather_m0]
platform = atmelsam
board = adafruit_feather_m0
framework = arduino
upload_port = /dev/cu.usbmodem146101
When I run pio test -v, it uploads and executes the test_main.cpp program (I can tell by the LED blinking five times with the right delays), however it does not print the test output, it is stuck on:
Testing...
If you don't see any output for the first 10 secs, please reset board (press reset button)
(See full log at the bottom of the post)
Pressing the reset button on the board executes the program again, but the pio command does not write any output.
On the other hand, if I press the reset button on the board and then open a separate serial monitor, it will print out the raw messages:
$ pio device monitor -p /dev/cu.usbmodem146101

OK
So, the output is there, but the pio test command is not picking it up. I have no idea why.
What I tried:
-
Waiting 10 seconds, resetting the board (see above)
-
Increasing the delay in setup() to more than 2 seconds – no effect
-
Adding
test_speed = 9600to platformio.ini, and puttingSerial.begin(9600)as the first line invoid setup()(before the delay) – no effect -
Adding
test_port = /dev/tty.usbmodem146101to platformio.ini – in this case the test command says it can’t open port:Testing... If you don't see any output for the first 10 secs, please reset board (press reset button) [Errno 2] could not open port /dev/tty.usbmodem146101: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/tty.usbmodem146101' -
Similar error if I set
test_port = /dev/cu.usbmodem146101. I don’t know whattest_portis supposed to be, or how to find it out. -
Calling
pio test -vwith--monitor-rts 0 --monitor-dtr 0params (but also (0, 1), (1, 0), and (1, 1) combinations) – no effect.
Note:
-
When I press the reset button on my board, the
/dev/cu.usbmodem146101device becomes temporarily unavailable, and thepio device monitor -p /dev/cu.usbmodem146101command crashes with a python error:OSError: [Errno 6] Device not configured. I assume this is expected. -
After I
Ctrl+Cout of thepio test -vcommand when it gets stuck, the uploads to this board always fail with the following “no device found on ” error:Forcing reset using 1200bps open/close on port /dev/cu.usbmodem146101 Waiting for the new upload port... bossac --info --debug --port "cu.usbmodem146101" --write --verify --reset --erase -U true .pio/build/adafruit_feather_m0/firmware.bin No device found on cu.usbmodem146101 Set binary mode Send auto-baud Set binary mode *** [upload] Error 1 =========================================== [FAILED] Took 11.32 seconds =========================================== Test Environment Status Duration ------ ------------------- -------- ------------ * adafruit_feather_m0 FAILED 00:00:11.318 ====================================== 1 failed, 0 succeeded in 00:00:11.318 ====================================== -
The upload error goes away eventually after I press the reset button on the board enough times. I can never tell if I need to press it once or double-press it, that part doesn’t make sense to me.

In
pio device list, my/dev/cu.usbmodem146101Feather M0 is third behind/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Portand/dev/cu.usbmodemCHIDMK1, the latter being an Arduino Leonardo based keyboard. Just in case, I tried disconnecting the keyboard right after pressing “Enter” onpio test -v, but no effect.
So… I’m out of ideas. I’m just trying to do the most basic testing example. I looked through the docs and past threads on this issue, but didn’t see any solution that would work. Do I need some special hardware like J-Link? I don’t have it yet. Since the serial monitor does show the test results, I’m hoping this is just some kind of pio command misconfiguration.
