Developer Studio is not officially supporting Windows 10 yet.
We are currently on integration phase, targeting to provide this support for next release.
Concerning Developer Studio 2.3.2, we reproduced the problem and we have a workaround.
Actually, the integrated version of Eclipse simply doesn’t know anything about Windows 10 and Java 8 as it is too old. But it’s not possible to install any other Java version on Windows 10.
The root cause of the problem is that DS is not able to resolve the path to the native DLLs it needs to access to the serial ports.
The workaround:
Create a folder named dlls in Developer Studio folder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Sierra Wireless\Developer Studio\dlls)
In this folder, copy the 2 rxtx*.dll files you can find in \plugins\gnu.io.rxtx.win32.x86_2.1.7.v2013XXXXXXXX\os\win32\x86
Open the \plugins\com.swi.tm.core.win32_1.4.2.201310241534.jar with an archive manager program (e.g. 7-zip), and extract the libUSBNotifier.dll file to this folder as well
Edit the \m2mstudio.ini file, and add the -Djava.library.path=C:\Program Files (x86)\Sierra Wireless\Developer Studio\dlls argument at the end of the file, on a new separated line
You can then start DS, and the serial ports should be displayed again.
I can confirm the workaround resolved the problem for me. I can now see ports in DS. Note I had to change one of the steps as I didn’t need to unpack anything:
(1) Exit Developer Studio
(2) Open the Developer Studio installation folder in file explorer, e.g. [b]C:\Program Files (x86)\Sierra Wireless\Developer Studio[/b]
(3) Create a folder named dlls in Developer Studio installation folder, e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Sierra Wireless\Developer Studio\dlls
(4) Copy rxtxParallel.dll and rxtxSerial.dll from plugins\gnu.io.rxtx.win32.x86_2.1.7.201311191600\os\win32\x86 to [b]dlls[/b]
(5) Copy libUSBNotifier.dll from [b]plugins\com.swi.tm.core.win32.x86_3.5.0.201508061635[/b] to [b]dlls[/b]
(6) Edit m2mstudio.ini and add the dll folder as a Java library path to the very bottom of the file, e.g.
My environment details where this workaround resolved the problem:
Windows Edition: Windows 10 Professional 64 bit
Java Version: JRE 1.8.0_60-b27 32 bit
Installer: OpenATAFOnlineInstaller_v2.3.exe
Dev Studio Edition: 3.5.0.201508071503
SL8 Driver Version: 11.5.1005.5
There is no folder gnu.io.rxtx.win32.x86_2.1.7.201311191600 when you install Developer Studio 2.3.2.
You need to install Developer Studio 2.3.2, then install Developer Studio 3.5.
You can retrieve gnu.io.rxtx.win32.x86_2.1.7.201311191600 from the directory where DS3.5 is installed.
And following the given procedure.
