Integration

Integration process consists of these steps:

1. Open system Terminal and install PlatformIO Core (CLI)

2. Create new folder for your project and change directory (cd) to it

3. Generate a project using PIO Core Project Generator (platformio project init --ide)

4. Import project in IDE.

“Neomake-PlatformIO” Plugin

Please visit neomake-platformio for the further installation steps and documentation.

Project Generator

Choose board ID using platformio boards or Embedded Boards Explorer command and generate project via platformio project init --ide command:

platformio project init --ide vim --board <ID>

Recommended bundles:

• C/C++/ language server supporting cross references, hierarchies, completion and semantic highlighting - CCLS: vim lsp

• Syntax highlight - Arduino-syntax-file

• Code Completion - YouCompleteMe (see configuration example by Anthony Ford PlatformIO/YouCompleteMe Integration)

• Syntax checking - Syntastic

Put to the project directory Makefile wrapper with contents:

# Uncomment lines below if you have problems with $PATH
#SHELL := /bin/bash
#PATH := /usr/local/bin:$(PATH)

all:
        platformio -f -c vim run

upload:
        platformio -f -c vim run --target upload

clean:
        platformio -f -c vim run --target clean

program:
        platformio -f -c vim run --target program

uploadfs:
        platformio -f -c vim run --target uploadfs

update:
        platformio -f -c vim update

Pre-defined targets:

• Build - Build project without auto-uploading

• Clean - Clean compiled objects.

• Upload - Build and upload (if no errors)

• Upload using Programmer see Upload using Programmer

• Upload SPIFFS image see Uploading files to file system SPIFFS

• Update platforms and libraries - Update installed platforms and libraries via platformio update.

Now, in VIM cd /path/to/this/project and press Ctrl+B or Cmd+B (Mac). PlatformIO should compile your source code from the src directory, make firmware and upload it.

Note

If hotkey doesn’t work for you, try to add this line nnoremap <C-b> :make<CR> to ~/.vimrc
