• When automatic serial port recognition fails, you need to fill in your own serial port name (including path) or other connection parameters, such as: ws:192.168.1.1,1234, which is the same as the open of mpfshell.

• Now that you have set the connection parameters for the board, you can right click on a new python file from untitled and be sure to create a file to trigger the installation dependency the first time you use it, before using the auto-identification serial port and other Tools (Tools in the menu item).
