Mu Editor Problem with MacBook Air M1
I am having a problem running Mu Editor w/ Adafruit CircuitPython w/ MacBook Air M1. I can edit programs, but cannot connect to the serial REPL. When running with my old x86 MacBook Pro - same version of MacOS - all works fine. FWIW ... running MacOS 11.3 on both machines. It does seem to want to run on Python 3.8 despite upgrading MacOS Python to 3.9.5.

Curiously ... it does seem to work on the M1 under Parallels in a VM using Windows 10 for ARM and Mu Editor.

Re: Mu Editor Problem with MacBook Air M1
Which version of Mu are you using? Are you using one of the new betas? You might want to report this at https://github.com/mu-editor/mu/issues as well, especially because of the M1 issue.

Re: Mu Editor Problem with MacBook Air M1
Using the latest version. Have reported it there. Rather confusing support platform methinks.
I’m convinced it’s a Mu issue with some subtlety of the M1. The fact it works on Win10 ARM under a VM on the M1 seems absolutely diagnostic.
Also kinda cool.

We have confirmed that the board detection is not working on M1 MacOS, but is working on non-M1 MacOS (same latest version), where is was developed. Now we need to figure out why.

Yay! I trust it will all get resolved. In short term I can use my convoluted workaround.

Re: Mu Editor Problem with MacBook Air M1
We filed a PR to mu to fix this and it has been accepted and should be in Mu 1.1.0-beta.5. In the meantime you can delete the build artifact for the PR and try it out:
