Arduino_Threads/docs

The Arduino threading APIs bring multi-threading to the world of Arduino. If you're new to the concept of threads we suggest you first take a look at the Threading Basics document.

The following Arduino architectures and boards are currently supported:

• mbed_portenta: Portenta H7
• mbed_nano: Nano 33 BLE, Nano RP2040 Connect
• mbed_edge: Edge Control
• mbed_nicla: Nicla Sense ME, Nicla Vision

Tooling

Threading with the above mentioned Arduino cores can be achieved by leveraging the Arduino_Threads library in combination with the Arduino Command Line Interface (arduino-cli).

For those who are unsure how to use the Arduino CLI in combination with multi-threading take a look a condensed getting started guide. There's also the comprehensive arduino-cli documentation to consider.

Download a preliminary, pre-built arduino-cli binary (experimental) or patched Arduino IDE (very experimental) for your operating system that supports threading:

Platform	Download CLI	Download IDE
MacOS_64Bit	arduino-cli	Arduino IDE
Linux_32Bit	arduino-cli	Arduino IDE
Linux_64Bit	arduino-cli	Arduino IDE
Linux_ARMv6	arduino-cli
Linux_ARMv7	arduino-cli	Arduino IDE
Windows_32Bit	arduino-cli
Windows_64Bit	arduino-cli	Arduino IDE
