Hi @AzyFloof. Thanks for your report. I'm going to ask you to provide some additional information that might help us to identify the problem. ❗ This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information. Please do this:
Please let me know if you have any questions or problems while following those instructions. |
I have similar issue, so I'm going to write about it down here.

Hi all, I was experiencing this exact issue with my own company's board cores made for Arduino IDE (I am on version 2.3.4, and this issue did not exist on version 2.3.2). I believe I have determined the source of the problem, as my own debug logs are not too dissimilar to the example above:
This indicates that Arduino IDE versions 2.3.3 onwards contains a bug that does not recognise spaces in the
The fastest fix is to temporarily downgrade to IDE 2.3.2, request the board maintainer to modify their package.json's ![]() ^ Delete this URL and add it back to force a refresh One final note: Arduino IDE 2 has a smart feature which caches the last used board for every sketch so that sketches will open with the right board and serial port upon startup, but this can cause issues if the last used board has this issue with their FQBN. You will need to downgrade the IDE, change the selected board to a known good board with no such issue, install the patch, upgrade the IDE and change the selected board back. If Arduino maintainers knows how to clear this cache manually (and maybe add a button to clear the cache in the settings), let us know! :) |
Thanks for the information. The developers have determined that support for spaces in the vendor name will not be provided. The restrictions on the vendor name have been (😢 poorly) documented: |
Describe the problem
After upgrading to 2.3.3 the Port option under Tools is greyed out. The IDE won't let me select any boards, regardless of which ones I have plugged in.
Uploading sketches obviously fails because of this, because the IDE thinks I don't have a board connected.
Using the Board/Port selection dropdown shows no boards listed
To reproduce
Plug in any arduino (I tried a bare ATMEGA328 with an FTDI dongle, an Arduino Micro, an Arduino Leonardo, and a Pololo A*Star 328 16MHz).
The ports option under tools is greyed out and I cannot select any board
Expected behavior
I expect a list of plugged in and supported boards to appear as a list under the Ports sub menu, and under the boards/ports dropdown list
Arduino IDE version
2.3.3
Operating system
Windows
Operating system version
10
Additional context
The issue is not present in 2.3.2 if I downgrade
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling 2.3.3 manually but the issue persists
The ports of the connected boards show up in the device manager list in Windows
The problem persists if I try different cables and different USB ports
All my drivers are up to date
