So it looks like there some hardware problem... Is there alternative way to upload sketches because in fact board seems to work...

Hi,

If it doesn't work on Windows or Ubuntu, the problem most likely is hardware, you should return it.

Why do you say it seems to work if you can't even upload a sketch? How can you tell?

I meant that it is not totally broken and probably there only issue with USB serial connection but device itself seems to work because at least power led turns on when I plug it via USB, so my assumption was that I can exactly identify what is the problem or there are alternative ways to upload sketches (but I need some guidance on this)

Anyway I had better return it...
