Mu Editor fails on M4 boards using M1 Mac

Post by alex_shultz »

I am having trouble getting Mu Editor to recognize some M4-based boards I have when I connect them to my Mac M1 computer. The computer has the latest updates installed and I have updated the boards to use the latest CircuitPython.

I have three different M4-based boards from various Adaboxes: Trellis, Matrix, and PyPortal that all fail. They are the only M4 boards I have tried.

I also have a Micro:Bit ... it connects to the Mu Editor successfully.

When I try to use Mu Editor for the Serial or Plotter connections I get an error message "Could not find attached device" that gives some info about what's not happening correctly and some hints on what to try to make the connection work. No luck following the hints. :(

I can open the terminal and use the screen command to connect to all of the device.

I can see the CIRCUITPI drive on all the devices and have also successfully flashed the boards to the latest versions CircuitPython.

I am able to use a Raspberry Pi 3 to have Mu connect to all of the devices.

Here is the text from the "Current Log" in Mu when I tried to use it to connect to the Trellis two different times this evening. I have made sure the Mode is set to CircuitPython.

Code: Select all

Re: Mu Editor fails on M4 boards using M1 Mac

Post by fishycircuits »

Adafruit does not develop Mu, the official forum for Mu is https://github.com/mu-editor/mu/discussions/.

That being said, this is a known issue (https://github.com/mu-editor/mu/issues/1543). A fix is in place, and a new version of Mu will be released soon.
