avrdude: stk500_initialize(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x54
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.
Did it work in the past? If yes, what was the last project that you were working on when it started failing?
If it never worked,
There are three options under tools/processor; try all three of them.
Is you Nano an original or a clone? Can you provide a link to what you bought?
A clear picture that will allow us to identify the chip on the top (should say ATmega328P) and one of the chip on the bottom (either FT... or CH34...) will also help.
I doubt that was all output. And it's not presented using code tags.
This is the typical output similar to yours

avrdude done. Thank you.
And please answer the questions in my previous post.
