Arduino Makefile fails - recipe for target 'reset' failed

Question

I want to use the ArduinoMakefile to push code to the SleepyPi Board via the commandline.

It is part of a Sensor Project with a RaspberryPi3 that has this Arduino power Board attached via GPIO to manage it's power control.

I do this inside a docker container which is deployed with resin.io.

My Makefile looks linke this:

PROJECT_DIR       = /sonah/src/sleepypi/run/script2
ARDMK_DIR         = $(PROJECT_DIR)
ARDUINO_DIR       = /usr/share/arduino
USER_LIB_PATH    :=  /usr/share/arduino/libraries
BOARD_TAG         = sleepypi
MONITOR_BAUDRATE  = 115200
AVR_TOOLS_DIR     = /usr
AVRDUDE          = /usr/bin/avrdude
CFLAGS_STD        = -std=gnu11
CXXFLAGS_STD      = -std=gnu++11
CXXFLAGS         += -pedantic -Wall -Wextra
MONITOR_PORT      = /dev/ttyS0
CURRENT_DIR       = $(shell basename $(CURDIR))
OBJDIR            = $(PROJECT_DIR)/bin/$(BOARD_TAG)/$(CURRENT_DIR)
include $(ARDMK_DIR)/Arduino.mk

And when I run it i get the following message:

root@raspberrypi3-c49223e:/sonah/src/sleepypi/run/script2# make upload

I would love to get some insight in what I did wrong and how I can fix it. I have to confess I am not an expert with arduino and serial communication.

The Arduino-Makefile project comes with that binary:

$ ls -alh ~/dev/Arduino-Makefile/bin/
total 32K
drwxr-xr-x 2 kotori kotori 4.0K Aug 11 20:11 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 kotori kotori 4.0K Aug 11 20:11 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 kotori kotori  10K Aug 11 20:11 ardmk-init
-rwxr-xr-x 1 kotori kotori 4.1K Aug 11 20:11 ard-reset-arduino
-rwxr-xr-x 1 kotori kotori 2.4K Aug 11 20:11 robotis-loader

Its checking the location it is, because your ARDMK_DIR variable is set to /sonah/src/sleepypi/run/script2. This needs to point to wherever you downloaded the Arduino-Makefile project to.

If you set this variable in your ~/.bashrc file it will work properly. Here is how mine is set in that file:

export ARDMK_DIR="~/dev/Arduino-Makefile"

or put it at the top of every project Makefile:

ARDMK_DIR="/where/you/downloaded/Arduino-Makefile"
