Hi, I am running Xubuntu 22.10. I just updated to 2.0.4 minutes ago, and now the Ports menu under Tools is greyed out. Waiting, restarting the application, reopening the menu haven't worked.
Previously I was using 2.0.3 with no problems. Any ideas? Thanks.
What Arduino? Nano?
Adafruit Feather RP2040. I have the core for it installed. But in the previous version of the IDE the Ports menu would not be greyed out even if there wasn't any compatible device plugged in--it just wouldn't list any active ports to select. I also just tried it with a Nano 33 IoT and I see the same. If I go to "Select Other Board and Port" it says "NO PORTS DISCOVERED" on the right half when both are plugged in. Again this worked in the previous version.
Sorry, my fault. The Feather problem was explained by Adafruit's guidance "If there is no serial Port available in the dropdown, or an invalid one appears - don't worry about it! The RP2040 does not actually use a serial port to upload, so its OK if it does not appear if in manual bootload mode. You will see a serial port appear after uploading your first sketch"
and the Nano 33 IoT is explained by my having grabbed a power-only (no data) USB micro cable. D'oh!
