Description
Describe the bug
A embedded systems project that I am working on uses a C# program as a serial loader to send data to an Arduino Nano. I have installed dotnet and adding the System.Io.Ports
package on the host machine. When trying to run the project, I get an error saying that System.Io.Ports
is only available on windows. This same code and installation process works on Ubuntu 18.04, the latest version of Arch Linux, and Mac without issue.
To Reproduce
Exceptions (if any)
Unhandled exception. System.PlatformNotSupportedException: System.IO.Ports is currently only supported on Windows.
at System.IO.Ports.SerialPort..ctor()
at SerialComPort.Main(String[] args) in /home/jason/collective/soen-422/SOEN422-PROJ/vm/task5/Lecture8_SerialLoader.cs:line 121
