Issues flashing bootloader WSL2?
-
I have issues flashing the bootloader to the Spresense when using WSL2.
I am using USBIPD-WIN to establish USB device support as reccomended by the WSL2 documentation.
This seems to work as the Spresense is detected in the VM at the anticipated adress (/dev/ttyUSB0).
However, attempting to flash yeilds the following error message.Error creating child process! CreateProcessW: Incorrect function.Flashing works perfectly when using MSYS but due to the slow compilation speed i would prefer using a VM.

Hello, @Jolle
I haven't tried to do that myself.
I can try it on my side and see if I get the same error, but on the meantime I have tagged you in an old topic where some users were also trying to use wsl2.
Maybe they've seen this before. -
Hey, @Jolle
What is your windows version? -
@CamilaSouza I am currently running Win 10

Hi @Jolle
Unfortunately we only officially support WSL2 on Windows 11.
I haven't tried using WSL2 on Windows 10, so I can't be of much help.
I will keep an eye on the forum though and see if any user is able to use this combination successfully.
If they do, I'll link you. -
Check the driver: Make sure that the correct driver is installed for the Spresense board. You can download the driver from the Sony Spresense website.
Check the flash tool: Ensure that you are using the correct flash tool for your operating system. The Spresense website provides a Flash Tool for Windows and a Flash Tool for Linux. Make sure that you have downloaded and are using the correct tool for your system.
Regards,
Mike
