ARD-PARSE-BOARDS(1)					      General Commands Manual					       ARD-PARSE-BOARDS(1)

NAME

       ard-parse-boards - Read data from the Arduino boards.txt file

USAGE

       Dump all the data in the file:
	$ ard-parse-boards --dump

       See which boards we know about:
	$ ard-parse-boards --boards

       Look for a particular board...
	$ ard-parse-boards --find uno

       multiple terms are implicitly ANDed:
	$ ard-parse-boards --find duemil 328

       Dump all the data for a particular board:
	$ ard-parse-boards atmega328

       Extract a particular field:
	$ ard-parse-boards atmega328 build.f_cpu

DESCRIPTION

       The  Arduino  software package ships with a boards.txt file which tells the Arduino IDE details about particular hardware. So when the user
       says he's got a shiny new Arduino Uno, boards.txt knows that it has a 16MHz ATmega328 on it. It would be nice to access these data from the
       command line too.

       In  normal  operation  you simply specify the tag given to the board in the boards.txt file, and optionally a field name. This program then
       extracts the data to STDOUT.

       Most boards have names which are quite unwieldy, so we always refer to a board by a tag, not its name. Strictly the tag is the  bit  before
       the first dot in the boards.txt key. You can see a list of board tags and names with the "--boards" option.

OPTIONS

       --boards_txt=[file]
	      Specify the full path to the boards.txt file.

       The following options all disable the normal 'lookup' operation.

       --dump Dump the complete database in YAML format.

       --boards
	      Print a list of the tag and name of every board in the file.

       --find [query] <query> ...
	      Find  matching  data. Strictly, return a list of values which match all of the query terms, treating each term as a case-insensitive
	      regexp.

	      For example:
	       --find 328
	       List data containing 328 (anywhere in the value).

	       --find due
	       List data containing 'due' (e.g. duemilanove).

	       --find 328 due
	       List data containing both 328 and due.
