upload_port

Type: String (Pattern) | Multiple: No

This option is used by “uploader” tool when sending firmware to board via upload_port. For example,

  • /dev/ttyUSB0 - Serial port (Unix-based OS)

  • COM3 - Serial port (Windows OS)

  • 192.168.0.13 - IP address when using OTA

  • /media/disk - physical path to media disk/flash drive (Mbed OS enabled boards)

  • D: - physical path to media disk/flash drive (Windows OS).

If upload_port isn’t specified, then PlatformIO will try to detect it automatically.

To print all available serial ports please use pio device list command.

This option can also be set by global environment variable PLATFORMIO_UPLOAD_PORT.
