The internal LED on my Blue Pill Board is connected to PC13 or Pin No. 2.
I have tried to upload a simple project in XOD:
I got this error message:

Make sure the board is connected, the cable is working, the board model set correctly, the upload port belongs to the board, the board drivers are installed, the upload options (if any) match your board specs.
Perhaps there is an issue with the pin designations?
Alternative boards has to define at least a new C++ header file with some constants to define their capabilities. The constants are pin names, timer info, analog channel mapping, etc. Unfortunately, there is no strict standard about what should be defined as a minimum. The NUM_DIGITAL_PINS macro is defined for all boards we’ve tested. However, Blue Pill does not define it. Thus you see the error.
A temporary workaround is digital-write monkeypatching:
Please tell me how to label the used output port.
PC13 is not allowed.
2 turns to “D2” automatically.
D2 produces the following error message:

The generated C++ code contains errors. It can be due to a bad node implementation or if your board is not compatible with XOD runtime code. The original compiler error message is above. Fix C++ errors to continue. If you believe it is a bug, report the problem to XOD developers.
Quick Help
digital-write
xod/gpio/digital-write
Outputs high or low signal on a board port
Inputs:
PORTport
Board port to write to
SIGboolean
State to write
UPDpulse
Triggers new write
Outputs:
ERRpulse
Fires if write failed. E.g. PORT does not exist.
DONEpulse
Fires on writing complete
Thanks for the detailed bug report.
Looks like we need to do a little more work to support STM32 boards
Will do that in the very near future, please stay tuned.
I added support for defining ports like PC13 and a couple more tweaks to ensure that code successfully compiles for STM32. It will be included in the next release.
But the upload process does not work because of this issue in the arduino-cli tool, which we use under the hood. Fixing it will take some more time.
hi @dox , something similar I usually do with Wemos D1 mini, and I do a reset (button) before loading
According to this the PIN PC13 of the LED, corresponds to PIN 32 of ARDUINO
If it did not work, try D32. I worked with Wemos D1 mini that on board is D4 and I use it with D2
This issue with adruino-cli that I mentioned earlier is still unsolved, so XOD still can’t upload code to STM32s.
The only workaround at the moment is generating code with “Deploy -> Show Code for Arduino” and uploading it with Arduino IDE.
By the way, all who are interested in resolving the issue, please follow to the issue and add a or reaction on it so that arduino-cli author can kind-of evaluate the importance of it to the community (i.e., how many people affected).
