Good morning to all.
I am trying to upload a sketch to a Promini clone (AT328 16mhz 5v) from a MAC with MAc OS 10.9.
I have tried using different usb programmers with CH340 and FTDI chips.
Both send the same message which are, in verbose mode:
Arduino: 1.8.9 (Mac OS X), Board: "Arduino Pro or Pro Mini, ATmega328P (5V, 16 MHz)"

Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.

I have tried all solutions I found on all the possible forums since it seems it is a global issue,
I tried the RST pin tied up to DTR, or not tied. also manual Reset. Tried also to change the Promini,
No way, nothing works, always the same error messages.
I seem to have no driver issues since the usb to FTDI port is detected normally in the 'tools' section. I stopped using the CH340 usb programmer because it caused lots of crashings of my MAC.
Thanks for your help !
