Trying to use on RPi4 on Code - OSS (headmelted)
Not able to figure out how to use your extension running on VS Code on my RPi4. VS Code works great and I can open the CIRCUITPY device folder and code inside, but any attempt to use the extension from the command pallette generates an error. For example: Command 'CircuitPython: Check for latest bundle' resulted in an error (command 'circuitpython.library.fetch' not found)
Yeah. That's because the plugin is crashing on startup because it can't find native bindings for the serial port library. I've built the native bindings for RPi and they'll be included in 0.1.1 being released today. Let me know if you still have the issue after upgrading. My RPi environment still had some issues, but I also only got the bare minimum up and running to build the bindings.
This will need a RPi4 set up at home that Azure can use as builder, since there isn't an RPi builder provided.
