Where does the Arduino IDE save the binaries on Mac OS X?
In the Arduino software: go to File -> Preferences and then select Show verbose output during -> compilation.
Finally, when you are compiling, the program will show you lots of data. At the last lines, you will find the path1 to the .hex file.
1Every time the path changes!
Arduino 1.6.5 has a new command: Under the Sketch menu, select Export compiled Binary, then Show Sketch Folder. There it is.
Arduino IDE uses the mktemp command to create the temp directory on Mac and Linux. However, on Mac the default $TMPDIR env var is not /tmp/ as it is on Linux. On Mac it's under /var/folders and it is randomly generated on boot. That complicates things a little, but here are tricks you can add to your toolkit (as aliases, functions, shell scripts, etc.) to help you find what you need.
To find the hex files
find $TMPDIR -name \*.hex -exec ls -lrt {} \; #<-- you need that backslash before and space after the semicolon
To find build directories
ls -ldrt $TMPDIR/build*
NOTE: The ls flags of r and t cause the listing to be "reverse" sorted by "time" respectively. This means that the newest will be on the bottom.
What UDalillu said. The trick also works on Windows. On XP it ended up in C:\Documents and Settings\Your_User_Name\Local Settings\Temp\buildxxxxx\ (the xxx number changes for each build, pick the most recent).
The arduino web page http://arduino.cc/en/Hacking/BuildProcess
described
During a "Verify" the .hex file is written to /tmp (on Mac and Linux) or \Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Temp (on Windows)
I am using fedora19 64bit, and when i check my /tmp the build directory created is
/tmp/build8102....tmp/
I made a simple tutorial here with images
It is very beautifully explained in the following blog
Where to find Arduino Hex files or Output Binaries
I hope this helps :)

I received a network traffic capture that is partitioned is several hundred of small .pcap files with the following format:
name.pcap#
where # is a numeration from 1 to 630.
Something like this:
name.pcap1,name.pcap2,name.pcap3,...,name.pcap630
I know that all of them are from one continue capture but it seems that was partitioned.
I don't have a lot experience working with wireshark, and this type of files are new for me. I don't know how to read them as one file.
I was wondering what can I do to resemble all of them in just one file?
Many thanks in advance,
I was wondering what can I do to resemble all of them in just one file?
At least with the current version of Wireshark, if you:
start Wireshark without opening a file - just directly start the application;
select all 630 of the files in Windows Explorer/File Explorer (Windows), the Finder (macOS), or whatever file manager you are using in the GUI (other UN*Xes - Linux, *BSD, Solaris, AIX, etc.);
drag them into Wireshark;
Wireshark should read all the files and combine them into a single file, showing you all the packets.
I tested this on macOS; I have not tested it on Windows or, for example, Ubuntu, but I suspect it would work.
Note that you must select all the files and drag them all in one operation; if you try to drag them one at a time, they won't be combined, Wireshark will just close the currently open one and open the file that you're dragging and dropping.
Alternatively, Wireshark includes mergecap, which is a tool that "merges two or more capture files into one".
It is a command-line tool, so you will have to use it on the command line (UN*X - Linux, macOS, *BSD, Solaris, AIX, etc. - or Windows).
The command would be something such as
mergecap name.pcap* -w merged.pcap
(on UN*Xs) or
mergecap.exe name.pcap* -w merged.pcap
if you were to run it while your command-line shell is in the directory (folder) in which the files are stored. This command will put a new file, named merged.pcap, in that directory.
You will have to make sure that the directory containing mergecap is in your command-line shell's search path, or will have to type the full pathname rather than just mergecap. (The .exe may not be necessary on Windows with some command-line shells, but it doesn't hurt, and may be necessary with other command-line shells.)
On most UN*Xes, mergecap will probably be in /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin, both of which are in the command-line shell search path by default.
On macOS, mergecap will probably be in /Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS/; however, if, when you installed Wireshark, you chose to install the Wireshark command-line tools, it will also be in /usr/local/bin, which is, again, in the command-line shell search path by default.
On Windows, mergecap will probably be in C:\Windows\Program Files\Wireshark. That is probably not in the command-line shell search path by default. If you don't put it in your command-line shell search path, you will have to run a command such as
`"C:\Windows\Program Files\Wireshark\mergecap.exe" name.pcap* -w merged.pcap
Adding it to the command-line shell search path is a painful process, so it's probably easier just to use the full path.
You must include the quote characters (because there's a space in "Program Files").
I have a Raspberry Pi at a remote location. I have attempted to run the Arduino IDE on that system but it doesn't have enough memory. I would like to compile some code on my Ubuntu desktop, copy the executable file to the Pi and use some utility to load it to an ESP8266 running the OTA software. What I need is to know where the executable is after an IDE compile step and what utility might be used to transfer the file from the Pi to the ESP8266 over the lan.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim.
in arduino ide,
go to, File-> Preferences. Tick mark the boxes for compilation “Show verbose output during: ☑ compilation"
Now You will get the location of all the files generated in arduino console.
See answer by Kinaly Jain. If you upload your code to a local esp, verbose mode will also show you the commands it used to do the upload. You can gather these commands into a script or a makefile to run on the remote Pi.
Thanks to both of the responders. I wanted to try to describe a possible scenario to satisfy my needs. I found out from another post that the "Sketch/Export compiled binary" menu selection will produce a bin file that can be uploaded using a script similar to the one in this page https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/3553
The script finds the available OTA ports in the network and then uses espota.py to upload the .bin file to the port that you select. I suggest slight update to that script. On my system, espota is in ~/.arduino15/packages/esp8266/hardware/esp8266/2.7.4/tools/espota.py and it is now a python3 script. It is executable so you don't need to explicity execute python.
/home/$USER/.arduino15/packages/esp8266/hardware/esp8266/2.7.4/tools/espota.py -i $ip -p 8266 --auth="$password" -f "$path" 2> /dev/null && echo -e "Success:\t$ip" || echo -e "Fail: \t$ip" &
I've not tested it yet but I think it'll work with maybe some small tweaks. The avahi-browse utility is in the avahi-utils package on the Raspberry Pi OS. It was not installed by default on RPi OS but it appears to have been on Linux Mint.
To summarize I will run the Arduino IDE on my desktop using the "Export ..." menu, then I'll find the .bin file in the sketch directory and copy it to the Pi. Then I'll use the script mentioned before to hopefully write the bin file to the esp8266 via OTA. I hope this will help someone else with a similar problem.
Thanks again,
Jim.
My apology for the "newbie trouble" that I created for myself & apology for my poor command of computer lingo
I am running a Windows 7 laptop and have a big text file (~4Gb) that I need to find certain string.
Most programs in Windows 7 cannot handle the task (file too big to open in any program in the Microsoft suite), so I downloaded cygwin and tried to grep the specific string.
The problem is
(a) the 4 Gb file is stored in the desktop of my non-admin account.
(b) I assume cygwin runs in the admin account (although I use the desktop cygwin icon to launch the environment). The reason being that under cygwin, I see the handle A#Admin-THINK (running it on a Lenovo Thinkpad laptop)
grep the file of interest results in "No such file or directory"
I tried to find the path of the file (readlink, realpath) but guess the commands were not applicable here?
Also tried /home/A/file or /home/A/desktop/file but it is clear that my random guess fails.
From windows, the file should be in
C:/Users/non_admin/desktop/folder/file
What would be the right path of the file to grep the string using cygwin ?
You can use /cygdrive to access the Windows filesystem. In your case, try
grep foo /cygdrive/c/Users/non_admin/Desktop/folder/file
From windows, you can get the correct file path from the context menu item Copy as path into the copy/paste buffer.
In Cygwin mintty, use
FilePath=<paste>
where <paste> means to use paste from mintty's context menu to make a variable with the value of that path.
Then use
grep <string> $(cygpath -u "$FilePath")
to search the file. The "'s are in case the file name contains spaces.

When compiling with -fsanitize=memory I get WARNING: Trying to symbolize code, but external symbolizer is not initialized! when running the program. How do I initialize the external symbolizer?
I solved my own problem using MSAN_SYMBOLIZER_PATH=$(which llvm-symbolizer-3.4) ./a.out. The problem is that Ubuntu postfixes the version number but the binary doesn't know that. Of course you need to use MSAN instead of ASAN when using the memory sanitizer.
You are supposed to be able to set the ASAN_FILTER environment variable to point at a symbolizer, but I could not get it to work. However, you can redirect stderr into a symbolizer after the fact. You'll still get the warnings about the uninitialized symbolizer, but the filenames and line numbers will be correct.
You can use asan_symbolizer.py as the external symbolizer. After downloading it from that link (to /tmp, for example), invoke your program like so (in bash, for this example):
./myprogram 2>&1 | /tmp/asan_symbolize.py | c++filt
On my Ubuntu system, the issue is that LLVM's tools are installed under /usr/bin with version suffixes (like llvm-symbolizer-4.0), and the sanitizer tools are looking for them without version suffixes.
LLVM also installs its binaries to, e.g., /usr/lib/llvm-4.0/bin; the tools under /usr/bin are actually just symlinks. So an easy solution is to add the appropriate /usr/lib/llvm-*/bin directory to your path when working with sanitizers.
I received such warning when I run program debug version (compiled with -fsanitize=address) on Linux machine that didn't contain clang installation. The problem disappeared after I installed clang from devtoolset.
I'm trying to build an application from source in windows that requires some Unix tools. I think it's the apparently standard ./configure; make; make install (there's no INSTALL file). First I tried MinGW but got confused that there was no bash, autoconf, m4, or automake exes in \bin. I'm sure I missed something obvious but I installed Cygwin anyways just to move forward. For some reason when I run
sh configure.sh
I get:
platform unix
compiler cc
configuration directory ./builds/unix
configuration rules ./builds/unix/unix.mk
My OS has identity problems. Obviously the makefile is all wrong since I'm not on unix but win32. Why would the configure script think this? I assume it has something to do with Cygwin but if I remove that I can't build it at all. Please help; I'm very confused.
Also is it possible to build using MinGW? What's the command for bash and is mingw32-make the same as make? I noticed they're different sizes.
Everything is fine. When you are inside CygWin, you are basically emulating an UNIX. sh runs inside CygWin, and thus identifies the OS correctly as Unix.
Have a look at GCW - The Gnu C compiler for Windows
Also, you might be interested in this help page, that goes into some detail about the minimal system (MSYS), such as how to install, configure et. c.
That should help you get bash, configure and the rest to work for MinGW as well.
From the Cygwin home page
Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It consists of two parts:
A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API emulation layer providing substantial Linux API functionality.
A collection of tools which provide Linux look and feel.
Since configure is using the Cygwin environment, it is interacting against the emulation layer and so it is just like it's working on a Unix environment.
Have you tried building the application and seeing if it works?
