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

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:

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.

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

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.

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

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

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