Hi,

I have just recently installed the vscode plugin, but I am unable to flash anything to my board.
I installed the plugin and made a copy of the blink example. Building this gives no issues that I can see, but flashing is not possible since the plugin defaults to COM1, while my board is connected to COM4. When I click on the button to change the PORT, I receive the error from the title. I have tried re-installing, but this did not solve the issue.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Or how to manually set the port to COM4, since this is the only port I will be using.
Thanks in advance

I have fixed my issue. I was using an older board and did not have the CP2102 driver installed, so my computer was not able to detect the serial port.

for a manual configuration you can try this
add in .vscode/settings.json

I posted a reply but it seemingly hasn't gone through.
The problem was occuring because I did not have the CP2021 driver required for the board, which I thought I had.

Thanks for the response though!
