Intelhex version outdated

[Python380]

On python 3.9.6, building AND creating projects using mbed failed on my laptop.

I have looked at the error messages and looked at the code, and I have a suggested fix: change install_python_deps.py, line 35, from "intelhex>=1.3,<=2.3.0", to "intelhex==2.3.0",

Hi @Python380 ! Could you specify here what was the error message exactly? I tried Python 3.9.6 and everything worked as expected.

[Python380]

I was getting an AttributeError. This is due to versions before 2.3.0 running array_tobytes = getattr(array.array, "tobytes", array.array.tostring. The reason this fails is because (probably quite obviously) array.array.tostring() does not exist (At least in the latest few versions of python).

Another reason mbed may have failed is because it didn't auto install latest allowed for some reason. (sorry for replying so late, I live in the western US)

EDIT I should point out that this is in compat.py EDIT and the original issue (Before I realized this was an mbed issue): https://github.com/platformio/platformio-home/issues/4360

Opened pull request

It seems a similar issue was already discussed some time ago here https://github.com/platformio/builder-framework-mbed/issues/22. You sure you're using the latest mbed package, right?

[Python380]

I'm not entirely sure, how do I check? Sounds like the same problem though.

[Python380]

Using 5.51105.190312 according to the package.json.

[Python380]

So can you provide instructions on how to update?

What is your platformio.ini?

[Python380]

Platform.ini:

; PlatformIO Project Configuration File
;
;   Build options: build flags, source filter
;   Upload options: custom upload port, speed and extra flags
;   Library options: dependencies, extra library storages
;   Advanced options: extra scripting

[env:nrf51822_y5_mbug]
platform = nordicnrf51
board = nrf51822_y5_mbug
framework = mbed

@Python380 I've updated the mbed package with fixes for legacy platforms. Try to pull the latest changes by running the pio platform update nordicnrf51 command in the IDE terminal and compile your project.

[Python380]

nrf51 is not supported by mbed anymore, but the nrf51822_y5_mbug and nrf51822_mkit boards completely disappeared from the PlatformIO boards list...

I see. Thank you!
