arduino: Install the latest SAM board.
$ arduino --install-boards "${arduino:sam}"
try on your machine

This command is used to install the Arduino boards package for the SAM (Smart, Atmel, and ARM) architecture.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • arduino: This is the command-line interface (CLI) tool for interacting with Arduino-related functions.
  • --install-boards: This flag tells the arduino CLI to install the specified boards package.
  • "${arduino:sam}": This is a variable substitution. It retrieves the value associated with the key sam from the arduino variable. In this case, it should refer to the URL or identifier of the SAM architecture boards package.

Overall, the command will install the Arduino boards package for SAM architecture, allowing you to use Arduino development boards based on SAM microcontrollers.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
