Can't run Blink on my new UNO Wi-Fi R4

Hi,

Brand new Arduino UNO WiFi R4.
When I plug it into my Mac, the LED matrix displays prettily and ends up as a nice heart.
The yellow LED labelled "L" flashes crisply.
When I press the reset button it all repeats as if I have just turned it on.
If I double-click the reset button the yellow LED fades in and out.
In the IDE, I open the Blink example. It compiles just fine, but will not download.
This is a printout from my serial window:

I have searched the forums to no avail.
Please help!

Should be arduino:renesas_uno:unor4wifi

You've selected the wrong board.

Hi, Thank you for your reply. I looked around and found the right one - I now works!
