B4R Question [Solved] What's the issue with this Nano thing?

[Beja]

Port is ok.. it shows in device manager, board: one pin is blinking yellow and another steady green, but I always see the following error when
trying to upload the blink example for testing:
from Arduino IDE:
the error is: avrdude: jtagmkII_initialize(): Cannot locate "flash" and "boot" memories in description

And from B4R the error is:

System wide configuration file is:
"C:\.........\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\avrdude\6.3.0-arduino17/etc/avrdude.conf"
Using Port : COM7
Using Programmer : arduino
Overriding Baud Rate : 115200
avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "\\.\COM7": Access is denied.
avrdude done. Thank you.
Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1

Any help appreciated

what board is it? does it have buttons on it? some boards need you to press a button while updating (flashing) new code

It's genuine Arduino Nano. it has a reset button at the front middle. will try that hopefully it works

 

[Beja]

Nope!, still throwing the overdue error

try this:

Thanks but this thing is going no where.. I used the blink example that comes with Arduino IDE and run it from the IDE.
This is the same error:

maybe this one...

 

[Beja]

Solved!
Thanks Cableguy for the sincere efforts


Uploading to UNO R3 fails: "exit status 1"

In Arduino IDE...

1. Select File > Preferences... ...
2. Uncheck the box next to Show verbose output during: ☑ compilation in the "Preferences" dialog.
3. Check the box next to Show verbose output during: ☐ upload.
4. Click the "OK" button.

maybe this one..

I recalled the solved report because the above solution works only in with Arduino IDE and not with B4R code, which gives the same overdue error

 

[Beja]

maybe this one...

Yeah, as mentioned earlier that solved the provlem but with Arduino IDE

 

[Beja]

I see the Arduino IDE 'Tools" has more settings options

I see you are using the Arduino IDE v2.3.2. - might be worth trying an older (v1.x.x) version.
see https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ide-v2-and-esp32-board-v3.162076/#post-994258
Might not be the problem as that involved the ESP32 rather than the Nano, but it certainly caused me a lot of grief!
I don't think there is any news on an update yet.

 

[Beja]

What I don't understand is that Arduino Nano is working under Arduino IDE without any problem.

 

[RJB]

Yes I was getting that.
I think it's because B4R hasn't been updated to work with the V2 Arduino IDE yet.
I haven't seen any ETA for the B4R update yet.

 

[Beja]

After conducting more search I came at this solution by Erel, and it finally worked! Thanks boss. All thumbs up!

 

[RJB]

So working with Arduino IDE version 1.8.15 then?
Hopefully B4R will be updated soon.

 

[Beja]

B4R code is working with Arduino Nano like a charm.. one just needs to set the right parameters for the board.
