[Arduino RP4020 Connect] Upload Error

PlatformIO IDE
,

Hi

I am trying to upload program to my “Arduino RP4020 Connect” on Windows.
The problem is that upload keeps failing.

Below codes are for platform.ini and upload error messages.

Please help me out.

[env:nanorp2040connect]
platform = raspberrypi
board = nanorp2040connect
framework = arduino

upload_port = D:\

Copy this file on the Pico’s USB drive to flash the firmware once, then remove the upload_port = .. line. Does uploading work afterwards?

Thank you so much.

You solution works perfectly.
I searched online to find out solution but I couldn’t find any related one.
How do you know it? It’s very interesting. :grinning: :grinning: :grinning:

I have a Raspberry Pi Pico myself and ran into this a few times, plus the conversation on Upload port required · Issue #2 · platformio/platform-raspberrypi · GitHub.

Thanks a lot for your post!
Since I am just a Arduino beginner I do not really know where to put your little patch.
I am working with VS code. For a while everything was working just fine. But now, when verifying the code, the error message occurs… .(*** [.pio/build/nanorp2040connect/src/main.cpp.o] Error 1)
and I don’t know where to put your patch…
Thanks for your help in advance…

That’s a build error not an upload error.

We’d need to see your full code and error message to help.

Thanks for the quick reply!
Interestingly, the code is working without any problem on the Arduino IDE, however, when copying the code into Visual studio code, the code is not working; all the libraries are installed…
I used this code to test VS code…

Assuming you’ve pasted this example as src/main.cpp into PlatformIO, it’s understandable that it doesn’t work, because the original examples is a .ino file and you didn’t any conversion to the source file as described per docs

https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/faq/ino-to-cpp.html

So if you don’t wanna touch the code, just rename src/main.cpp → src/main.ino.

Oh, I totally forgot about the “language”
After renaming the file of src/main.ino. - the program is still not working.
I guess the problem is behind the computer - I still struggle to understand how PlattformIO and VsC works…
I think, I will stick with the Arduino IDE for a little longer. Plattform IO might be to complicated for me…
I was looking for a way to make coding and trouble shooting easier but I underestimated the complexity of VS studio code and PlatformIO. It quickly becomes very frustrating…
Do you know some good tutorials that cover the topics libraries these kind of problems?
Thanks a lot once again for your support!

Again, to help any further, I’d need to see both platformio.ini and the full error message.

Libraries are covered per
