Mbed studio 1.2 won't detect platform

Mbed Studio
17

Hi @roberthewitt

Issue:
We understand the problem and are implementing a fix. As we suspected this issue is limited only to LPC1768 on Windows platform. A new patched version of Studio should be available till the end of this week.

Auto-update:
As I mentioned above it is not possible to postpone indefinitely an auto-update of Studio from the UI (it was a decision we made). That being said until this issue is resolved you can disable auto-update by following these steps:

  1. Uninstall Mbed Studio 1.2 (your workspace with programs will not be removed)
  2. Install Mbed Studio 1.1 (you can still find it at https://studio.mbed.com/installers/latest/win/MbedStudio-1.1.0.exe)
  3. At the end of installation please deselect an option to start Studio
  4. Navigate into Mbed Studio installation folder (on Windows default installation folder for the current user is in ~\AppData\Local\Programs\Mbed Studio)
  5. Rename app-update.yml file inside resources folder to any other name
  6. Start 1.1.0 version of Studio

After following steps above your Studio IDE will no longer have auto-update enabled. I recommend disabling it only temporary as you will be missing new features in the future! To enable it back simply rename the file back to app-update.yml.

LPC1768 interface
As you know Mbed Studio and Mbed tools support multiple interface firmwares. Two popular ones are:

mbed LPC1768, however, is using a unique firmware that hasn’t been updated for some time. That’s why you see quite many issues with deploying and debugging on this board. We are currently working on updating the firmware on this board. It should resolve some of the issues and potentially bring new functionalities in the future (like webUSB, present in DAPLink).

Once again apologies for the inconvenience.

Kind Regards
