### Hiding boards

Adding a **hide** property to a board definition causes it to not be shown in the Arduino IDE's **Tools > Board** menu.

uno.hide=

## Tools

The Arduino development software uses external command line tools to upload the compiled sketch to the board or to burn bootloaders using external programmers. For example, *avrdude* is used for AVR based boards and *bossac* for SAM based boards, but there is no limit, any command line executable can be used. The command line parameters are specified using **recipes** in the same way used for platform build process.
