Use teensy CLI loader for upload of .hex files on OSX

[heyer2]

At present platformIO uses the teensy GUI for the final upload of .hex files.
A more streamlined solution might be the command line loader available at:

We use CLI for Linux. Could you provide binaries for Mac OS X? I have discussion with @PaulStoffregen a few month before, he told me that there no support for Mac OS X yet.

[PaulStoffregen]

Mac support was recently contributed.
PaulStoffregen/teensy_loader_cli#12

You still have the compile the code to get a Mac executable.

I made a binary. I'm afraid I don't have my teensy nearby, but the program seems to work fine.

Thanks @heyer2! tool-teensy package has been updated. Try it:

platformio update

P.S: I retested it with my Teensy 3.1/Mac OS X and it works! 👍

@PaulStoffregen could we ask you to add link to http://platformio.org on these pages:

• https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/gcc.html
• https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader_cli.html

Thanks a lot!

[heyer2]

I can confirm it works on my end too.

@ivankravets
I've added a "PlatformIO Integration" section.

Can you recommend text to replace the "TODO" line?

[ivankravets]

PlatformIO is a cross-platform code builder and the missing library manager (Ready for embedded development, IDE and Continuous Integration).

• Install PlatformIO
• Print supported Teensy boards

platformio boards teensy

• Initialise new project with pre-configured settings for the specified board (for example, Teensy 3.1)

platformio init --board teensy31

• Put source code files to newly created src directory, build firmware and upload it

platformio run --target upload

Also, see examples of pre-configured Teensy projects:

• HID USB Mouse
• Chat Server with built-in library
• MBED Blink

Dear @PaulStoffregen,

See my post above #306 (comment)

You can modify it if you want.

Thanks in advance! 👍 🍻
