Why doesn't IDE 2.3.2 have the Nano 33 Sense Rev2 listed?

Hi
Why doesn't IDE 2.3.2 have the Nano 33 Sense Rev2 listed?

Depracated, read instructions at

It's still listed for sale on the online Arduino store.

Technical support is not marketing.

Thank you, I wasn't sure it was deprecated and you've confirmed it. What I was meaning its not even end-of-sale (EoS), never mind end-of-life (EoL).

The BLE Sense is 'deprecated', but not so the BLE Sense Rev 2.

Use


And then
Select Arduino Nano 33 BLE as board.

Where is it in the Arduino.cc Hardware NANO documentation, is it so new they haven't updated the docs yet?

I don't know when it was introduced.
The difference is the IMU (and probably something else that doesn't come to mind at the moment).

It's pretty neat, but BLE is a pain (like WiFi).

It is only the "Arduino Mbed OS Boards" platform that is deprecated, not the board.

Originally, Arduino created a single boards platform to provide support in Arduino IDE for all the boards that use the core built on the Mbed OS operating system. However, as Arduino created more and more hardware that used the core that platform became very large, which caused the Boards Manager installation and updates to take a long time. For this reason, Arduino split the platform into separate platforms for each of the target board families. The original monolithic "Arduino Mbed OS Boards" platform was deprecated at that time and is no longer maintained.

You should now use the actively maintained and supported family specific platform. As already explained by @runaway_pancake, in the case of the Nano BLE Sense Rev2 board the appropriate platform to use is named "Arduino Mbed OS Nano Boards".

Great, now they need to add it to the NANO family you get to from the Hardware tab on the ARduino.cc page.

Well I just learned more about how the Arduino website is organized. The results are different depending on what path you take from arduino.cc. Thanks.
