I am receiving the "SAM-BA operation failed" error whenever I upload any sketch to my new original Arduino mrk wifi 1010. This includes the upload of the simple Blink sketch.
Various sketches compile fine and actually seem to upload and run fine.
But the Arduino IDE always returns an orange text error that the "SAM-BA operation failed" during the upload. Apparently this relates to the "Microchip SAM Boot Assistance (SAM-BA) software"
I did not see any other posts on the SAM-BA and am hoping there is a solution to avoid this error going forward.
Any help appreciated.
