Port not working on old arduino ide

[nedsar85]

Hi,

Anyone having this issue? Im using a PC that already worked, suddenly it started failing not recognising my STM32 boards... I have tried several things...

- My boards and cables work fine, tried with other laptop and the other one works.
- I updated to version IDE 2+ and it worked.

The problem seems to be with old arduino ide. I tried to instal, reinstall, upgrade and downgrade and didnt work.

Thanks

Hi everyone!

I have a weird problem with Ports missing(greyed out in tools).

Few days ago connecting usb cable caused my win7 pc to blue screen and ports in 1.8.18 got greyed out.

I deleted 1.8.18 and put in a fresh download of 1.8.19 but no help.

I am using STM blue pill with rogers core.

Maple serial is visible in device manager as it should.

The weird thing is that both 1.8.4 and 1.8.5 show ports OK

Any ideas what the cause could be?

Can the 2.8.0 core cause this? if so how do I remove the core?

Rgds,

Hi All!

It turned out to be the 2.8.0 core. Deleting it brought the ports back

I'm having the same problem that with version 2.8.0 no COM ports are shown. Rolling back to version 2.7.x fixes that, so this is a regression/bug as per version 2.8.0

This is not a bug. Old Arduino IDE is no more supported and 2.8.x and higher are no more compatible with it!
See my previous post.
