PlatformIO VS Invoke

We searched for other IDEs that would be simple to use, allow easy import of Arduino libraries, and upload the code on the board. I wanted something of the like of Atom editor, but it was not supported on Raspberry Pi (and deprecated now). We found that PlatformIO could be an option. It is a plugin in VSCode that can manage many type of boards. We went ahead, installed VScode, then the PlatformIO extension. We opened a terminal in VScode with Q chat, and voila! Valentin could finally continue to play with a more stable solution. He had a simple way to code, compile, and push code on the Arduino.

PlatformIO

For the ESP32 in read mode, we've successfully developed a project using PlatformIO that accepts the key during build time and stores it in memory.

Check out Zephyr OS and Platform IO. Zephyr is part of the Linux foundation and has similarities to Linux with how it performs hardware abstraction (device tree). Platform IO integrates with other frameworks including mbed and Arduino.

PlatformIO together with avr-stub can be used to do source level debugging but there are some caveats.

Look into https://platformio.org/, it can abstract over a few RTOSes, and can show you which OSes work with which chips/boards.

If the HW looks like it works, you could also try alternate programming software. (e.g. TinyGo or PlatformIO)

You might have better luck with PlatformIO than the Arduino IDE; it's better at automatically choosing the serial port, though I can't say I've used it under Windows.

This looks like this error: https://github.com/pyinvoke/invoke/issues/833

Ahh. Will give it a go then. Also, if you are interested in writing the config in Python, checkout invoke. I find it a bit more flexible as you can change/tweak the sequence based on environments.

This thread might help

invoke is great as it's a Python package so can be installed with your dependency manager of choice as a development dependency.

Trying to research this problem, it seems there's some issues with pty=True and winpty. I already followed the suggestions of including winpty, changing pty to false, and still nothing. Furthermore, looking for this error online doesn't really pop up anything of help.
