"Error compiling for board Arduino Due (Programming Port)."

Official Hardware Mega Due
1

After successfully working with an Arduino Due for years, I now suddenly encounter an "Error compiling for board Arduino Due (Programming Port).".

  • It started after upgrading to Windows 10.0.18363 Build 18363.
  • I'm using Arduino: 1.8.13 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Due (Programming Port)"

It can be replicated as follows.

  • Board setting: "Arduino ARM (32-bits) -> Arduino Due (Programming Port)."

  • Starting the 'blink' sketch from scratch

  • Hit Ctrl-R to Compile/Verify: this yields successful complication.

  • Again hit Ctrl-R to Compile/Verify: this now yields "Error compiling for board Arduino Due (Programming Port)."

  • After switching to "Arduino ARM (32-bits) -> Arduino Due (Native USB Port).", the code can be compiled without error.

  • Now switching back to "Arduino ARM (32-bits) -> Arduino Due (Programming Port).", the code can be compiled without error.

  • However, trying to compile again (without changing anything) brings back the error.

Related or not: when trying to upload code, I often encounter a "No device found on COMx" error, even though the device is on that COM port.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Downgrade your compiler version :slight_smile: since it worked properly for years before upgrading.

Before downgrading, you could try this fix (reply #2):

And report the issue to Arduino.cc for a fix for the last DUE compiler version.
