Automatic detection of port on upload

[pelikhan]

First, let's just say that this project is awesome. This is some awesome work.

One feature that I missed moving from ion was the automatic detection of upload port. It's a very nifty feature that makes things a tad simpler.

Thanks a lot for feedback!

1. Can you give an example of automatic detection? Do you mean "glob" syntax in upload_port?
2. What do you mean under "ion"?

[pelikhan]

In ino, one simply writes

ino upload -b uno

Then ino finds the upload port automatically.

Sorry, ion = ino .

@pelikhan Please connect your Arduino UNO and give me a result of this command:

$ platformio serialports list

[ivankravets]

You can test it from the develop branch via:

$ pip uninstall platformio
$ pip install https://github.com/ivankravets/platformio/archive/develop.zip

Very nice.

I realise this issue is old, but is this working correctly? What criteria does it use to find the correct upload port?

Looking for upload port...
Auto-detected: /dev/ttyACM0

ttyACM0 is not my device, the correct port is ttyACM3.

[ivankravets]

@DesktopMan could you provide an output of pio device list command?

[DesktopMan]

Here's the device list:

Thank you, I've just added Genuino Uno's PID/VID to board manifest. See

• platformio/platform-atmelavr@ccf1249

[ivankravets]

Temporary solution is to manually specify upload_port in platformio.ini while new version of Atmel AVR development platform is not released.

Any idea how long it takes for these changes to show up in production? I'm getting 150 students next week and this would save me hours of support.

[ivankravets]

@DesktopMan, done! Please run pio update and re-test. Thanks!

[DesktopMan]

Thanks, working. This also seems to be the case for Genuino 101. (intel_arc32):

Hardware ID: USB VID:PID=8087:0AB6 SER=AE6771SQ55201EZ LOCATION=3-1.2.1
Description: GENUINO 101

[ivankravets]

@DesktopMan It should work for Genuino 101, see

Hi. I ordered new arduino uno board and it seems that auto detection does not work for my board version. @ivankravets Could you update boards/uno.json ?
Terminal output:

/dev/ttyUSB1

Hardware ID: USB VID:PID=1A86:7523 LOCATION=1-1.2

Thank you in advance !
