For the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense Rev2, whenever I upload my code on the the Arduino IDE, my COM3 port gets disconnected then COM4 (Bootloader) gets initialized, then once the code is finally uploaded, COM4 gets disconnected and COM3 gets reinitialized. So uploading code via Arduino IDE runs perfectly fine.
When I run it with VSCode with platformio, my COM3 port gets disconnected, then COM4 gets initialized, then I’m left with this error, and the upload fails:I will upload screenshots as well:

I’ve tried a couple things such as
using a different port “upload_port = COM4/COM3”
reinstalling platformIO and VScode
changing the upload_protocol
This issue occurs with any project I try to upload my code to.
this is my platformio:
[env:nano33ble]
platform = nordicnrf52
board = nano33ble
framework = arduino
Weird, based on this report the Nano33BLE upload is working.
Try:
- PIO Core CLI →
pio pkg update -g -p nordicnrf52 to update to the latest nRF52 platform version
- Project Tasks → Advanced → Verbose Upload → Find the location of
bossac.exe in the log → Go to that folder (should be somwhere in C:\Users\<user>\.platformio\packages\tool-bossac), copy over the C:\Users\legon\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\bossac\1.9.1-arduino2/bossac.exe file, replacling the old bossac
and retry uploading
I tried both of your methods and tried uploading a basic code to the Arduino and I still run into the same problem on VScode.
I think it has something to do with my computer(desktop) because I tested the same builds with a different computer(laptop) and it uploads to the board perfectly fine. I think it has to do with my computer’s file messing up with the COM port communications only on VScode PlatformIO. The laptop also uploaded the code to the board with all the default packages that my desktop was already using.
I reinstalled VScode and all my extensions once again, and still the same problem

So… I woke up today and turned on my computer to test it again, and I had this error come up
Then I tried uploading again, and it uploads
But for the third time, I tried uploading it… it ran into the same problem once again
