COM port not detected in Flashtool #16

Open leocopter opened 10 years ago

leocopter commented 10 years ago

I think I found the source of the problem : QSerialPortInfo does not detect all the COM ports in Windows. This is an issue with QT. Is there a patch for this, or a way to roll back to another COM port detection routine ? And why not let the user input the COM port manually ?

Hm, strange, i could add a manual option, but it seems strange that the QSerialPortInfo won't detect the port. did you try different usb ports?

Yes I tried lower ports (5, 7). I tried a different AIOP board. I am using 44 ports on Win 7. That's probably the issue for QT. I get the same problem in Mint linux (ubuntu) opening Flashtools with Wine. The manual option would be much appreciated.

Thanks !

Ok. About the wine thing, flashtool compile just fine on linux/mac too but the avrdude call is not implemented.

A problem which could arise with a manual port detection is, that i plan to remove avrdude calls and flash directly #9 not sure if a port not detected by QSerialPortInfo will work with QSerialPort
