Unable to include this component into Harmony 3

[Maldus512]

To whomever (if any) may concern, I am trying to explore bootloading solution on a PIC32MZ Graphics starter kit, sporting a PIC32MZ2064DAG169 device. After downloading the required dependencies for the Harmony framework I am unable to include the bootloader component into my project: trying to do so results in the following error being printed:

<Configuration Database>[Error]: Failed to activate component: bootloader

I have tried both with my device and other models, to no avail. I am using MPLABX 5.15 and Harmony 3.3.0.1 .

Please kindly confirm whether this library and/or the Harmony framework has been discontinued, if it was ever supposed to work.

Hi @Maldus512 , Bootloader Library in Harmony 3 only supports SAM devices for now. Please refer to below release notes for supported devices. PIC32 will be supported in future releases. https://github.com/Microchip-MPLAB-Harmony/bootloader/blob/master/release_notes.md

[Maldus512]

Thank you for the clarification. Still, if the desidered component is unsupported a proper message should be displayed instead of a cryptic Java/Python log printed only with debug level enabled
