Hi @akash73. Thanks for your report.

This is the correct behavior. The tool requires a feature which was recently introduced in Arduino CLI: arduino/arduino-cli#1608, after the time of the 0.20.2 release you are using.

There has not been a release of Arduino CLI since that time, so it is currently necessary to use the nightly build of Arduino CLI with this tool:
https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/latest/installation/#nightly-builds

The feature will be in the next release of Arduino CLI, which should come out soon.
