Unable to create microcontroller ARD.ATMEGA.BL0055 - definition file missing or corrupt

[andeug]

Hi,

I am getting a strange error on Windows 11 after installing Flowcode and I don't know how to fix this:

"Unable to create microcontroller ARD.ATMEGA.BL0055 as the definition file ARD.ATMEGA.BL0055.FCD is missing or corrupt."

The error appears immediately after I start FC and trying to select the template "Arduino (BL0055) + Combo (BL0114)" with the two Eblocks2 boards which I own.

I get exactly the same error when I am trying to open the file called "Arduino (BL0055) + Combo (BL0114).fcfx", which is located on C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode v10\DefaultData\FlowcodeV10\Misc\Templates\E-Blocks 2

Any of those upper files are opening without any error, and it's only the Arduino (BL0055) + Combo (BL0114) that gives me the error.

I uninstalled Flowcode and its drivers a few times and got the same window regarding ARD.ATMEGA.BL0055.fcd file missing or corrupt. I was not able to locate this file on my computer neither, so it's probably missing.

Can someone please share its content and location, so that I can add it to my installation and try to see if it works?

Hi

Problem appears to be with the latest BL0055 update.

I created a simple chart with both the 55' and combo board, saved and could open without issue. Flowcode informed of an update to the 55' and I downloaded. This caused problems similar to yours.

Rolling back the BL0055 to v3 solved the problem.

If you roll back until Matrix resolve the issue you should be good.

Hi Martin

I'm travelling just now so can't check on any HW.

Hello.

If it's me you're asking, then my problem was solved. Meanwhile, I have purchased a DELL Optiplex desktop PC, as I was struggling with some compatibility issues on the Win11 virtual machine, which was hosted on a Parallels Desktop for Mac instance. One of the problems which I still encounter there is that I cannot install the Matrix TSL USB drivers for E-Blocks2.
