Cannot select serial port, open serial port (VSCode, Arduino, Apple M1)

[khorbushko]

Looks like the issue is can be reproduced on new M1 from Apple - can't select neither port neither open serial port (if manually write it in config). Upload works fine.

When clicked on "open port"button

Second this. Tried to manually adjust the port in arduino.json file but it fails at opening the port 🤷🏽‍♂️

(M1 Mac here as well)

[khorbushko]

for me, manual configuration in of arduino.jsonworks fine:

{
    "sketch": "serial.ino",
    "board": "arduino:avr:uno",
    "programmer": "arduino:usbasp",
    "port": "/dev/cu.usbmodem101"
}

To get serial port - u can use Arduino IDE or IOKit and Xcode

Thanks for letting me know 👍

It still throws the following error

Failed to open serial port /dev/cu.usbserial-11430 due to error: + Error: dlopen(/Users/user/.vscode-insiders/extensions/vsciot-vscode.vscode-arduino-0.4.2/out/node_modules/usb-detection/build/Release/detection.node, 1): no suitable image found.

yes, this is reproducible on my side as well, setting json config is just kind of workaround... neither port selection, neither connection to serial port works on my side. In same moment, in Arduino IDE everything works fine. I also created a small utility for Serial port scan and communication using IOKit - and it works just fine too. So it's looks like completely issue related to this extension.

for me also, manual configuration in of arduino.json works fine, but I am unable to open the serial.monitor in vscode

The usb detection module's native binary is not for aarch64, is there one detection.node for aarch64, or can we compile one?

[robbiewu008]

After checked the upstream projects usb detection, still no official release for aarch64, I create one issue # MadLittleMods/node-usb-detection#141

brew's node.js@16, NODE_MODULE_VERSION=93; brew's node.js@14, NODE_MODULE_VERSION=83; but the node.js embedded in vscode is NODE_MODULE_VERSION=87, so encounter new issues:

After more debugging, the up-up stream project node-gyp's issue, I created one issue #nodejs/node-gyp#2391.

@khorbushko We have recently updated the Arduino extension to depend on a new standalone Serial Monitor extension, please upgrade your arduino extension and try out this new feature!

Let us know if it solves your issue or if the issue still persists!
