I have 2 H7 CAMs. One has no issue and works as expected. The other one the IDE refuses to see. I can see the storage drive and can access the main file. I can flash the firmware on it via the “Is the CAM bricked” open. I just tried upgrading it to 4.3.3, and no change in the behavior. Any guidance would be great to get the IDE to connect to this CAM.

Can you see if there’s a serial port in the device manager in windows?

Was just coming back to post about this. Was trying to figure out what was different between the two CAMs. Turns out one was on COM3 and the other was COM4. The problematic one I changed to COM8 then it started working. Thank you for the pointer!
