[SOLVED]No port shown in Arduino IDE

Troubleshooting and Support
1

Hi,

First post here. Just got a Daisy Pod. I’ve followed all the steps found here or this video, but the Arduino IDE can’t see Daisy’s port, the menu selection is greyed out and no list pops up when mousing over.

I’m on Debian 13 with Arduino 2.3.5.

Thanks.

Welcome!
The serial monitor setup instruction can also be found in this tutorial (https://youtu.be/LusZYXIx0gw?si=uPGEESvcfwdRy_Tv&t=320).

Please make sure the code is flashed to Daisy before you check the Port option.
After flashing, see if unplugging and plugging again as well as clicking on Serial Monitor (before a port is selected) help. There might be some past forum threads about this issue for reference too.

I solved the issue before my post was approved by the admins, so couldn’t reply earlier. I don’t know though if the solution was to hold the boot button and while holding it to press the reset button (I think I did this before solving the issue), or if installing dfu-util and openocd as shown in the C++ Linux toolchain page. Since I wanted to program it with the Arduino, I didn’t go through these steps in the first place.

Anyway, I can now see my Daisy’s port and can upload Arduino code.

Thanks!

Glad to hear that it’s working :smiley:
