Clang64 (with msys) with Artiq version 5 ?

apqu

Hallo all,
We are trying to update the package manager for Artiq from conda to clang 64. To do this, we have followed the instructions on the official ARTIQ documentation and installed the MSYS2 offline installer (from here). However, the communication from python (in VS code) to Artiq is not working. The ARTIQ version we use in the lab is version 5, but the MSYS2 installation defaults to version 8.9.

Did anyone have similar problems? Is there a way to install/use or downgrade msys2 with the older version of Artiq to be compatible with the version in the lab?

Thanks in advance!

apqu Hi. The MSYS2 ARTIQ environment only supports the latest stable and beta versions (v8 and v9). It doesn't support older versions like ARTIQ-5, so downgrading isn’t possible. To use MSYS2, you'd need to upgrade your lab setup to a supported version. See the relevant sections of the manual for upgrading:
