Hi!
Im at ways end with the portenta machine control board, i have tried getting it to connect properly for days now, but its still fighting back. Im really dissapointed in how difficult it is to use with the PLC IDE. A quick summary:
- I partitioned the memory, but it wouldn't download the runtime PLC script thing you were supposed to do the firs time in the PLC IDE
- I could kind of get it to go trough by timing a doublepress of the reset at the same time as uploading, but then the IDE would freeze when i tried to connect to the portenta
- I downgraded to PLC IDE 1.0.3, which made the connection and verification of the board successfull, but my code broke of course, after fixing it (it compiles and builds sucessfully) it wont upload. This is all i get from the output:
--- Start compilation (PreBuild) 8:48:22 AM ---
--- End compilation (PreBuild) 8:48:22 AM ---
--- Start compilation (PostBuild) 8:48:22 AM ---
Sketch generated, is changed: false
--- End compilation (PostBuild) 8:48:22 AM ---

Waiting for upload port...
No upload port found, using COM4 as fallback

After delving deep into old forum post and reading other peoples frustration, i kind of feel like we're betatesting a product... Any tips on how to get the project running on the portenta?
