go-serial-utils: a golang library with a bunch of procedures to handle serial ports on Arduino (and compatible) boards.

Board reset

To reset a board you must use the Reset method.

Reset(portToTouch string, wait bool, dryRun bool, portsMapper PortsMapper, cb *ResetProgressCallbacks) (string, error)

Reset will reset a board using the 1200 bps port-touch and waits for the bootloader port that is returned. Both reset and wait are optional:

• if portToTouch is the empty string "" the reset will be skipped
• if wait is false waiting will be skipped If wait is true, this function will wait for a new port to appear after the reset and returns it. If a new port can not be detected or if the wait parameter is false, then the empty string is returned.

If dryRun is set to true this function will only emulate the port reset without actually performing it, this is useful to mockup for unit-testing and CI. In dryRun mode if the portToTouch ends with "999" and wait is true, the function will return a new "mocked" bootloader port as portToTouch+"0".

portMapper is a method called to obtain the current serial port list. If portMapper is nil the default internal port mapper will be used.

cb is a struct defining a bunch of callback functions called during the reset operation to provide progress feedback to the caller.
