XOD IDE 0.25.3 crashes on "Deploy-upload To Arduino" Windows 10-64

1

Hello:

I am new and I just installed XOD on Desktop Windows 10 - 64.

When following tutorial 02-Deploy and lauching “upload to arduino”, XOD opens the dialog to select my board model attached… and crashes !!! :frowning:

I tried to reinstall, disconect board… no joy !!

Any idea to send me in the right direction?
Anybody with same experience?

Tks

Hi, there is a small delay where you load the board list, maybe it’s just that?

3

The list doesn’t show up… the application just crashes…

4

When I had problems at the beginning use the “everything search” application, and delete all the XOD folders, and then “TrashReg Freeware” to delete registry keys, it could work for you too

5

I uninstall XOD, removed everything, clean registry, reinstall XOD 0.25.3 and still it crashes when deploying and upload to arduino.

I can’t even select the board… :frowning:

That’s weird. When you cleaned up the installation, have you removed C:\Users\You\xod as well? If not, try to delete just C:\Users\You\xod\__packages__ and try again. Also, hit File → Switch Workspace and make sure it points to C:\Users\You\xod.

If nothing helps, could you run XOD IDE from cmd.exe so that we can see stdout of the process crashed? It can contain important details.

Hello:

Tks for the help…

I tried all solutions in your first paragraph, but no better…
The program loads ok, I can select the tutorial sketch, but when trying to upload… CRASH…
It takes a few seconds to crash … as it tries to load the board list and it feels like it is running out of memory…

test, menu > deploy > Upgrade Packages and Toolchains

Did that too… “All packages are up to date”

That’s really weird, so I propose to try two things:

  1. That @nkrkv already asked, to run XOD IDE from cmd.exe:
    1.1. Press Win+R, type “cmd”, press Enter
    1.2. Then type in quotes: "C:\Program Files\XOD IDE\XOD IDE.exe", press enter
    1.3. Reproduce the bug. Probably you get an error in the terminal window. So then copy-paste it here and we’ll inspect the error.
  2. Probably you get caught a bug in arduino-cli that was fixed after out latest release. So you can try to update it manually:
    2.1. Download latest version of arduino-cli from here: https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-cli/arduino-cli-latest-windows.zip
    2.2. Unpack it and rename exe file in arduino-cli.exe
    2.3. Make a backup of already installed arduino-cli, just rename it: C:\Program Files\XOD IDE\resources\arduino-cli.exe
    2.3. Copy new one into the same folder (C:\Program Files\XOD IDE\resources\)
    2.4. Try to reproduce the bug

If something helps (or not), let us know.

that is it !!
nothing is coming in the cmd window when the program crashes.

I did after second part and updated arduino-cli and still yields same crashing result:
-Opening normally
or
-Opening through cmd

after a few second (22 to be precise) XOD IDE closes

13

No board connect? no work

14

I am using an Elegoo UNO R3

I tried also by disconecting the board, but same error

15

you could do a screenshot of in configuration - device manager to see the ports?

16

here it is…

device%20manager%20-%20ports
device manager - ports.jpg316×740 123 KB

the board is on COM 4
I have no issue with Arduino IDE

17

Could you temporarily disable other ports leaving only COM4 and try?
the message “Enumerating…” can be an indication of the problem …

18

device%20manager%20-%20ports2

Same result…
I evn disconected all devices… :frowning:

19

It’s very weird, I could assure you that’s why …:confused:
still showing “enumerating”?

20

Yes…
It probably one of the 2 things : when it builds the list of board or when it is enumarating the ports…
After few seconds (15-20) it crashes just like it is running out of memory.
I tried to increase also the size of virtual memory to 4500 min with a max of 9500 to see if this would help, but still it crashes…
