Hello,
The last time I did a code upload to my 4809 was a few weeks ago. I came back to it today having fixed a bug and now get the error below when trying to upload. Any help much appreciated:

Is pyupdi either installed globally (check with Windows + R → cmd.exe → pyupdi --help) or installed in PlatformIO’s python environment (check with CLI → pio system info → <python executable path> -m pip list)?
this is what windows says:
sorry couldn’t work out anything from pio cli, how do I find the python executable path? I seemt o have python 2 and python 3.9
thanks for help.
In the output

In my case to install it I would execute in a commandline / CLI
c:\users\max\appdata\local\programs\python\python38\python.exe -m pip install https://github.com/mraardvark/pyupdi/archive/master.zip
thanks, all I get if I try in a cli is this:

Are you sure you’re using the PlatformIO CLI as in PlatformIO IDE for VSCode — PlatformIO latest documentation? It should always have PIO commands available.
To make PIO accessible globally (which is always very usefull), you can also follow Redirecting....
ah, right I was using terminal from the vscode menu.
so if I now use the pio CLI, I get this:
PS C:\Users\Paul\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\Arduino-code-blinkled> pio system info C:\Users\Paul\.platformio\penv\Scripts\ -m pip list
Usage: pio system info [OPTIONS]
Try 'pio system info -h' for help.
Error: No such option: -m

No that’s not a valid command. First pio system info, then use that Python executable path and append -m pip install https://github.com/mraardvark/pyupdi/archive/master.zip to install pyupdi in PlatformIO’s environment.
thanks it has installed successfully and I have just uploaded some code to my avr4809 using it. Great, I have no idea how it disappeared in the first place.
Whilst it wasn’t working, I tried uploading code using pymcuprog from the command line like this:
pymcuprog write -d atmega4809 -t uart -u COM6 -c 250k -f .pio\build\ATmega4809\firmware.hex
which seemed to work, but probably didn’t as my blinkled sketch didn’t blink ( it now does when uploaded by pyupdi)
I won’t go into all the detail, but it looked from the info provided at the CLI that pymcuprog uploads were successful, but my projects just didn’t work and that’s why I’ve tried to upload the blinkled sketch. Using pymcuprog that didn’t work either. So something strange going on.
i have just uploaded my projects now that pyupdi is working again and both projects work as expected.
So I am a bit concerned that pymcuprog went through all the upload process and completed successfully,(apparently), but whatever happened it didn’t upload either a) any code (even though it completed successfully) or b) the expected code (the avr has a custom led on pin 12 which blinks 5 times in the setup() routine.) and that didn’t blink.
Obviously its a concern as I like to rely on the fact that if a system says it’s done something, it has actually done it. Not sure where it’s gone wrong.
