Nano Every, Sketch-upload takes a lot of time

Hardware Nano Family Nano Every
1

Hey,

I am in trouble with uploading a Sketch to the new Arduinio Nano Every.

Uploading is successful, but it takes a lot of time. Is there a way to upload faster?

avrdude done.  Thank you.

Could following message cause the problem?

avrdude: jtagmkII_initialize(): Cannot locate "flash" and "boot" memories in description

Thanks and have a nice day,

Please quantify what you mean by "a lot of time".

When you click the "Upload" button, the Arduino IDE compiles the sketch before uploading. Is it specifically the speed of the upload portion of that process that is taking a lot of time? The upload process starts around the time you see the "avrdude: Version 6.3-20171130" in the console.

My guess would be no.

Please quantify what you mean by "a lot of time".

It takes about 25-30seconds without compiling-time. Compiling time is less than a second on my system.

The things which take the most time are "writing" with 17s and "reading" which take additional 8s. That time is needed for transfering a 22KB Sketch.

While Uploading the sketch the RX/TX Leds are off (I think thats the transfer from Pc/Arduino IDE to the other controller SAM11). The RX-Led flashes for a few milli seconds after programming and veryfing the Sketch. I think thats the transfer from the SAM11 to the Atmega 4809.
