Yes, IDE seems to be working - except odd other in recent postings on uploads ... not new - had worked around with TyComm and local.txt - not used yet.
Machine seems nice - builds take about half the time - more faster cores with more cache and double speed on the SSD's.

Installed 2.1.1 here and it works on T 4.0 and 4.1 ... just opened and built and uploaded. Two copies of USB-SerialPrint-Speed Test and both running in separate IDE windows SerMon at 500Klines/sec
Going to edit my multi Teensy issue ... it worked once to program 4.1 then 4.0 with both connected for above sketch. Then opened prior sketch and it gets confused and RED LEDS 4.1 when code for upload to 4.0. ... maybe a clue ???

ODD - IDE restart showing 2.1.0 and asking to UPDATE to 2.1.1 ???

Insteresting. Just did the same thing and it shows Arduino 2.1.0 and asks me that as well. Have a feeling the link on their software download page has not been updated. Looks like so far its only updated in the github releases so going to download that:

Arggh ... fiddling with new machine and in power save it WAS shutting down after 15 mins ... 2nd IDE install now stuck on waking it up ...

resolved ... did a restart and running from saved shortcut opened 2.1.0 and then update completed.
Code:
Directory of C:\Users\Tim\AppData\Local\Programs
06/30/2023 06:46 PM <DIR> [B]Arduino IDE[/B]
06/26/2023 06:34 PM <DIR> [B]arduino-ide[/B]The IDE changed the name of the install folder without removing the old install. So shortcut ran the FOUR day old 2.1.0.
<edit> updated prior computer to 2.1. and old dir had the name used above by the new install ... not sure why first install used the '-' instead of ' ' version

I'm a bit confused as to whether the arduino-cli with Teensy third party core is supposed to be working yet or still in development.
I followed the instructions here and here and got this far but then it says "Unable find Teensy Loader. (p) Is the Teensy Loader application running?"
Bash:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ arduino-cli core list
ID Installed Latest Name
teensy:avr 1.59.0 1.59.0 Teensy (for Arduino IDE 2.0.4 or later)
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ arduino-cli board list
Port Protocol Type Board Name FQBN Core
usb1/1-1/1-1.2 teensy Teensy Ports Teensy 4.0 teensy:avr:teensy40 teensy:avr
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ arduino-cli compile --fqbn teensy:avr:teensy40 MyFirstSketch
Memory Usage on Teensy 4.0:
FLASH: code:8084, data:3016, headers:8352 free for files:2012164

RAM2: variables:12416 free for malloc/new:511872
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ arduino-cli upload -p usb1/1-1/1-1.2 --fqbn teensy:avr:teensy40 MyFirstSketch
Opening Teensy Loader...
Unable find Teensy Loader. (p) Is the Teensy Loader application running?
quitFailed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1Is that what you mean by "the upload command will run GUI-based Teensy Loader to perform the actual upload."? Or did I miss a step?
I'm running arduino-cli on a Raspberry Pi headless with the Lite OS so I don't have a GUI. Therefore I don't have the Arduino IDE installed or Teensyduino. What am I missing? Can I get arduino-cli working with this setup?
thanks.

Yes, AFAIK - the teensy tool used to upload will not run in a non-gui environment.
In many cases you can still do it, by using a different tool to do the actual upload to the teensy.
Near the end of post #3 of this thread I showed a few ways I have done it in the past.
You can build and use the teensy loader CLI: https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader_cli.html
At one point I was able to edit the platform.txt file in the Teensy package and point to this teensy loader cli instead.
Otherwise I did it as a two step process.
However these other tools, I don't believe have support for programming the teensy if it is a locked version.
Install enough of a GUI on the RPI, to support the teensy loader, and VNC into it.
Or sometimes simpler, to simply build it on your main machine, and copy the resulting binary down to the RPI, and then use one of the tools
to program the teensy. A long time ago I had a setup, where I hacked up the boards.txt/platform.txt on my windows machine to add an option
to instead of program the teesy, it would send the file to some directory on the RPI, and had a script running, that when a new file appeared,
it would program the teensy... But this was a long time ago and I don't think I have any of this anymore.
I have not played with it for a few months now, but on an RPI5 with SSD, I build the Arduino IDE 2, and could program Teensy boards, but I
had the GUI installed. But I believe I also tried running it then headless through a VNC.
Good luck
Thanks very much KurtE. I will try one of your suggestions of using a different tool for the upload and maybe do the editing and compiling on my MacBook. Compiling was very slow on the Raspberry Pi. Will I be able to reboot autonomously? I don't have access to the reset button so it has to load and restart automatically.
