Solved Connecting to Raspberry Pi Pico Fails

Post by W Michael »

Hardware: ASUS M4A88T-M USB3 with AMD Athlon II X4
OS: Linux Mint 20.3 Una Cinnamon 5.2.7 Kernel: 5.4.0-164-generic x86_64 bits: Ubuntu 20.04 focal
Thonny 4.1.3 installed with snap
Raspberry Pi Pico with MicroPython installed, connected to main computer
lsusb command shows: Bus 006 Device 009: ID 2e8a:0005 MicroPython Board in FS mode
When I start Thonny I get "Error when initiallizing backend" popup containing:
Traceback (most recent call last):
.
.
File "/snap/thonny/210/lib/python3.10/site-packages/serial/tools/list_ports_linux.py", line 48, in __init__
num_if = int(self.read_line(self.usb_device_path, 'bNumInterfaces'))
TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a real number, not 'NoneType'

I have looked at several different "getting started" instructions and tried a few but always get the same result.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Michael
