Hello, I am trying to upload a hex file to my Arduino R4 Minima board. I installed AVRDUDES on my computer and I am trying to load the hex file via AVRDUDESS 2.7, but I am not successful.

The Arduino Uno R4 Minima is not an Arduino Uno. avrdude will not work with the Uno R4 family.

Please explain what you want to achieve.

I've moved your topic to the section of the forum that is tailored to upload problems.

I'm trying to upload hex file into Arduino Minima R4. Thank you for carrying and helping.

Where does that hex-file come from? Was that code written for the Uno R4 Minima? If not, you can stop as that hex-file will not be compatible with the Uno R4 Minima.

Yes, it was created by Analog Devices, it contains firewall code for GUI connection.

OK, if you state that. And they did not give instructions how to upload? Can you please provide a link.

I don't have an Uno R4 Minima so can't give accurate instructions; to find out how you can upload that file

  1. Under file/preferences in the IDE, enable verbose output during upload and disable verbose output during compilation.
  2. Upload blink or another example.
  3. After the upload, copy the content of the output window and past it into a normal text editor.
    • Analyse the output. The R4 Minima seems to use a program called dfu-util so look for a line that contains that word. That is the command for the upload.

Next you can modify that line to use your hex-file, copy the modified line to the command line (dos prompt, bash) and run it.

I assume that the first line of the output that you found earlier contains states something about resetting the board with a baud rate of 1200 bps. If so, you have to do that manually (double tap reset) just before you issue the modified command.

Note
:warning: As I'm not familiar with your board, you do this at your own risk :warning:
