My Metro M0 Express is not creating a COM port on my MS Windows laptop. When I plug it in, I get the CIRCUITPY storage device. If I double-click the reset button the LEDs change a bit, the CIRCUITPY storage goes away and it is replaced by the METROBOOT storage device.
Device Manager shows the Metro M0 under Other devices w/ the warning icon and properties indicate the drivers are not installed, but searching for a driver fails to find anything. (As have my manual attempts to search for a driver.)
I want to install a new program that I obtained from a shield provider- it compiles in the IDE, but I cannot upload from the IDE as the COM port cannot be found.
I looked into the uf2tool (https://github.com/Microsoft/uf2/tree/master/uf2tool) but cannot compile it with my MinGW gcc as it does not recognize the -framework option.
Any suggestions for getting this new program onto the board?
Thanks!
