[Feature Request]: Allow bypass of microcontroller selection

[FrightRisk]

Problem/idea statement

There are many times, like when experimenting, working offline, or doing support where you need to see what screens a user would see, and do not have a microcontroller handy. Need to me able to skip the micro selection to actually uses the features of the installer while offline

Alternatives or workarounds

N/A

Additional context

No response

Maybe actually call this "offline mode" and even allow it to compile and save somewhere, but not upload. This could even have a "secret" hotkey if we just need it internally for testing

If you don't choose the target cpu we don't know which parts of the code to compile. On 14 May 2024 20:07, Fred ***@***.***> wrote: Maybe actually call this "offline mode" and even allow it to compile and save somewhere, but not upload.

Won't publicly document this, but running with -F or --fake will flag a USB device on either COM10 (Windows) or /dev/ttyUSB10 (Linux/macOS) if no devices are detected. This will allow running through the entire process including compilation, but will skip upload and flag success, enabling config backup to be performed as well.
