I am sorry if my frustration shows through, but each time I return to PIO to amend my code and upload it, it’s become an almost certain bet that it won’t upload, and that’s what’s happened again today.
So I have a avr4809 40 pin variant which uses UPDI for programming. I have pyupdi set up in my pio.ini and it fails to work. I appreciate it is deprecated and pymcuprog is now advised. I can only use pymcuprog from the cli as trying to set it up in PIO.ini failed, but that’s an issue for another post perhaps.
So anyway,
here’s what I get from pymcuprog:
PS C:\Users\Paul\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\Live\Stepper> pymcuprog write -d atmega4809 -t uart -u COM3 -c 250k -f .pio\build\ATmega4809\firmware.hex -erase
usage: pymcuprog [-h] [-d DEVICE] [-p PACKPATH] [-t TOOL] [-s SERIALNUMBER] [-m MEMORY] [-o OFFSET] [-b BYTES] [-l LITERAL [LITERAL ...]] [-f FILENAME] [-c CLK] [-u UART] [-i INTERFACE]
[-v {debug,info,warning,error,critical}] [-V] [-R] [--erase] [--verify] [-x] [-H {tool-toggle-power,user-toggle-power,simple-unsafe-pulse}] [-U] [-C]
{ping,erase,read,write,verify,getvoltage,getsupplyvoltage,reboot-debugger,setsupplyvoltage,getusbvoltage,reset}
pymcuprog: error: unrecognized arguments: –erase
PS C:\Users\Paul\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\Live\Stepper>
and as you can see it doesn’t recognise the --erase parameter which is essential for correct upload.
I posted at pymcuprog a while back and a reinstall of pymcuprog resolved the problem. I guess it will again, but why should I have to reinstall pymcuprog each time I use PIO???
here’s what pyupdi says:

So I can’t upload code at present, any help much appreciated.
