Based on:
=> https://docs.arduino.cc/arduino-cli/getting-started/

## Setup
create arduino config yaml:
```
arduino-cli config init
```


config, no tabs in yaml ever!, "file:///" for local board index:
C:\Users\#######\AppData\Local\Arduino15\arduino-cli.yaml
```
board_manager:
  additional_urls:
    - http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
    - http://bigbits.oss-cn-qingdao.aliyuncs.com/Arduino_for_GD32V/package_longduino_index.json
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/digistump/arduino-boards-index/refs/heads/master/package_digistump_index.json
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sparkfun/Arduino_Boards/main/IDE_Board_Manager/package_sparkfun_index.json
```


set local cache of boards, list connected/all, install/list core:
```
arduino-cli core update-index
arduino-cli core search digistump

arduino-cli board list
arduino-cli board listall
arduino-cli board listall digispark-tiny

arduino-cli core install digistump:avr
arduino-cli core list
```


## Create sketch
create, compile, upload, fqbn = Fully Qualified Board Name:
```
arduino-cli sketch new Mouse

arduino-cli compile --fqbn digistump:avr:digispark-tiny Mouse.ino

arduino-cli upload --fqbn digistump:avr:digispark-tiny Mouse.ino
arduino-cli upload -p /dev/ttyACM0 --fqbn digistump:avr:digispark-tiny Mouse.ino
```


## Libraries
```
arduino-cli lib search digispark
arduino-cli lib install DigiCombo
```
