Adafruit QT PY M0 - fails to create project

Development Platforms

Hi,

Got my dinky little Adafruit QT Py boards, love the form factor and got them working under arduino IDE and also circuit python.

But, I cannot create a project for it despite showing up as supported, errors follow

*> PIO Core Call Error: "The current working directory C:\\Users\\david\\Documents\\PlatformIO\\Projects\\test adafruit qy py will be used for the project.\r\n\r\nThe next files/directories have been created in C:\\Users\\david\\Documents\\PlatformIO\\Projects\\test adafruit qy py\r\ninclude - Put project header files here\r\nlib - Put here project specific (private) libraries\r\nsrc - Put project source files here\r\nplatformio.ini - Project Configuration File\r\n\n\nError: Unknown board ID 'adafruit_qt_py_m0'"*

not had a good look but seem to remember issue like this with another board a while back, short waiting for someone who knows where to look can anyone point me in the direction I need to got to try and fix?

Can you open a PIO CLI and do a pio upgrade --dev, then restart VSCode, delete the old project folder and retry creation?

Works all on my machine here.

Odd!, I spotted I had 3 udpates pending in VsCode-Platformio home, one was atmel updates, took those and then it worked first time!

Thanks,
