I think I might be onto the root cause?

I am looking through the error logs. Near the end when it is showing how the software is compiling I find this interesting set of commands right before the crash:

Sketch uses 28504 bytes (10%) of program storage space. Maximum is 262144 bytes.

An error occurred while uploading the sketch

The issue is that my board is talking through COM7 and this appears to always be trying COM1 for some reason. I am not sure why this is happening so I am going to perform a successful dataload next and then see if the log is producing this code but using COM7.
