well this might be a bit center, but I am sure others have a similar question.

I am trying to use something better than the standard Arduino IDE . As an editor it's pretty horrible and on MAcOS it's doesnt track changes in files from other text editors.

So here I am with Xcode and makefiles .. and arduino-cli (which is sort of a front end to arm-none-eabi-g++ etc
I actually have some major success with the standard Arduino boards and even the Redboards.

but I really want to use the Artemis Redboard. So here is your standard blink app.
if you install ardunio-cli from https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/installation/
and run the enclode makefile (or even oep the xcode project). It does compile
and you can even do

make compile
make flash

and it will flash it..

BUT -- it fails to start, and the best I can tell is that the Example1_Blink.ino that is created by ardunio-cli is different from the Example1_Blink.ino that is created by the Arduino app.. hmm did I miss something from the command line or setup for the Arduino Board Manager??

I tried even addind the additional URL

arduino-cli compile -v --additional-urls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spark ... index.json --fqbn SparkFun:apollo3:artemis ./Example1_Blink

and still the flashed code wont start>

for example assuming the proper paths,

arduino-cli compile --additional-urls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spark ... index.json --fqbn SparkFun:apollo3:artemis ./Example1_Blink
Sketch uses 8484 bytes (0%) of program storage space. Maximum is 960000 bytes.
Global variables use 17340 bytes of dynamic memory.

artemis_svl /dev/cu.usbserial-1410 -f ./build/SparkFun.apollo3.artemis/Example1_Blink.ino.bin -b 460800 -v

Artemis SVL Bootloader
Script version 1.7

Phase: Setup
Cleared startup blip
Got SVL Bootloader Version: 5
Sending 'enter bootloader' command

Phase: Bootload
have 8528 bytes to send in 5 frames
Sending frame #1, length: 2048
Sending frame #2, length: 2048
Sending frame #3, length: 2048

Upload complete

Nominal bootload bps: 27329.76


but If I artemis_svl the product of the arduino app -- it does start?

any idea what i am missing.. It sure would be nice to use a makefile

many thanks

You can use makefiles by going directly to the AmbiqSuiteSDK
https://github.com/sparkfun/AmbiqSuiteSDK

Of course, you don't get Arduino functions.... so I guess that's the trade off
