Bug Report

Current behavior

arduino-cli board

The help printed:
.
.
listall List all known boards and their corresponding FQBN.
search List all known boards and their corresponding FQBN.
.
.

But this is more about the getting-started guide.

Expected behavior

While following: https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/0.21/getting-started/
It says:

identify the platform core and use the correct FQBN string. When a board is 
not detected for whatever reason, you can list all the supported boards and
their FQBN strings by running the following:

$ arduino-cli board listall mkr

At least for me listall lists the boards that are installed, so just gives a blank list at this point.
After messing around and deleting the settings folder and redoing

$ arduino-cli config init
$ arduino-cli core update-index

still the same so after reading help from 'arduino-cli board' tried using: 'arduino-cli board search' instead and that worked.
Then after doing 'arduino-cli core install arduino:avr'
'arduino-cli board listall' now lists all the avr boards supported by arduino:avr

So I guess the documentation is wrong and search is what lists all the boards?
While listall lists the installed boards?

The help from 'arduino-cli board' could also use improving to make it clear what listall and search do.

Environment

  • CLI version (output of arduino-cli version):
