List connected boards and serial ports detected by arduino-cli.

Check whether arduino-cli is available and return OS-specific installation instructions if missing.

Attempt to install arduino-cli for the current OS using available package managers, then verify and configure CLI path.

List supported/installable boards from the local arduino-cli index.

Ensure the Arduino core required by a board FQBN is installed. Can auto-install via arduino-cli core install.

Detect connected Arduino-compatible hardware, infer board/FQBN candidates, and generate next compile/upload commands.

List serial ports and any detected board metadata using arduino-cli. Works on Windows/macOS/Linux.

Compile an Arduino sketch with a specific board FQBN.

Upload a compiled sketch to a connected board/port.

Upload a sketch and wait for a serial readiness pattern, handling post-upload reset/re-enumeration windows.

Capture serial output for a bounded duration from a given port.

Run electrical preflight checks (voltage/current/pin risks) before upload or serial write operations.

Open a stateful serial monitor session with port lock ownership.

List active serial sessions and current port lock state.

Read buffered bytes from an open serial session.

Wait for a string pattern in a serial session buffer with timeout.

Write bytes to an open serial session. Safety preflight is enforced unless explicitly skipped.

Close a serial session and release its port lock.

Get detailed board metadata from arduino-cli for a specific FQBN.

List local board reference entries with pin/spec metadata.

Search local board reference by board name, alias, id, or FQBN.
