Do you have any other Arduino and can confirm that the usb cable works correctly with it? Everything from this last download report looks correct until > avrdude: jtagmkII\_initialize(): Cannot locate "flash" and "boot" memories in description > avrdude: jtagmkII\_reset(): timeout/error communicating with programmer (status -1) > avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1 Which should be > avrdude: jtagmkII\_initialize(): Cannot locate "flash" and "boot" memories in description > avrdude: AVR device initialized and ready to accept instructions This means that the jtag to updi programmer software in the samd11 chip which handles the usb interface is either not getting the 1200 bps touch to trigger the programming mode, or the firmware in the samd11 is corrupted. Since you are using the Arduino IDE with Windows 10, I think the problem is likely to be with the samd11 chip itself and not with the 1200 bps touch. Is this a new board which has never worked, or did it once work properly? Is it an official Nano Every from Arduino, or is it a clone? Some clones use an atMega 4808. and not the 4809 of the official nano every. With the board connected to usb and you select "Get board info" in the ide Tools, what do you see? You may need 2.0.4 (or 1.8.19) to see the correct information. I'm thinking that if you get this information back, the usb to ttl part of the samd11 is working correctly. ![Board Info](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/arduino/original/4X/e/0/f/e0f7f0b7c90bee05dcf60af1f7314a8ab7b8c20d.jpeg) If this is a new board and can be returned to the vendor I would recommend that. If it once worked and you want to try and fix it there are ways to reprogram the samd11 with the correct firmware in a file called MuxTOBin. I have never done this and is an advanced procedure.

I'm thinking that if you get this information back, the usb to ttl part of the samd11 is working correctly. I seem to remember that I've read that 1.8.x and 2.0.x work differently. 1.8.x (and other legacy IDEs) communicate with the board, 2.0.x pulls the information from the boards.txt file. @ptillisch can advise if I'm talking nonsense or if this information is correct. To play it safe, use the legacy IDE for this test. ---

Good point. Even though the program ran on the UNO, the libraries could be the problem.

> [@dposit](#): > > for each invoking of a library there seems to be an alternative. Here is an example of DHT to show what I mean. The message is not very clear, but this is actually saying that only one library was found matching the `#include` directive for `DHT.h`. If multiple libraries were found matching the `#include` directive, you would see multiple elements in the square bracketed list. So don't worry about this message. It is normal and expected and doesn't indicate any problem. ---

Not really sure what you are asking ---

Can you load simple code to the board (like the Blink example sketch)? The output you posted from the verbose upload was not complete, there is much more output missing, and I'm not clear if you are getting a normal response, or if you are not able to upload. This the full output of a successful upload ```plaintext avrdude: Version 6.3-20190619 Copyright (c) 2000-2005 Brian Dean, http://www.bdmicro.com/ Copyright (c) 2007-2014 Joerg Wunsch System wide configuration file is "C:\Users\yourName\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\avrdude\6.3.0-arduino17/etc/avrdude.conf" Using Port : COM9 Using Programmer : jtag2updi Overriding Baud Rate : 115200 JTAG ICE mkII sign-on message: Communications protocol version: 1 M_MCU: boot-loader FW version: 1 firmware version: 1.07 hardware version: 1 S_MCU: boot-loader FW version: 1 firmware version: 6.07 hardware version: 1 Serial number: 00:00:00:00:00:00 Device ID: JTAGICE mkII AVR Part : ATmega4809 Chip Erase delay : 0 us PAGEL : P00 BS2 : P00 RESET disposition : dedicated RETRY pulse : SCK serial program mode : yes parallel program mode : yes Timeout : 0 StabDelay : 0 CmdexeDelay : 0 SyncLoops : 0 ByteDelay : 0 PollIndex : 0 PollValue : 0x00 Memory Detail : Block Poll Page Polled Memory Type Mode Delay Size Indx Paged Size Size #Pages MinW MaxW ReadBack ----------- ---- ----- ----- ---- ------ ------ ---- ------ ----- ----- --------- signature 0 0 0 0 no 3 0 0 0 0 0x00 0x00 prodsig 0 0 0 0 no 61 61 0 0 0 0x00 0x00 fuses 0 0 0 0 no 9 0 0 0 0 0x00 0x00 fuse0 0 0 0 0 no 1 0 0 0 0 0x00 0x00 fuse1 0 0 0 0 no 1 0 0 0 0 0x00 0x00 fuse2 0 0 0 0 no 1 0 0 0 0 0x00 0x00 fuse4 0 0 0 0 no 1 0 0 0 0 0x00 0x00 fuse5 0 0 0 0 no 1 0 0 0 0 0x00 0x00 fuse6 0 0 0 0 no 1 0 0 0 0 0x00 0x00 fuse7 0 0 0 0 no 1 0 0 0 0 0x00 0x00 fuse8 0 0 0 0 no 1 0 0 0 0 0x00 0x00 lock 0 0 0 0 no 1 0 0 0 0 0x00 0x00 data 0 0 0 0 no 0 0 0 0 0 0x00 0x00 usersig 0 0 0 0 no 64 64 0 0 0 0x00 0x00 flash 0 0 0 0 no 49152 128 0 0 0 0x00 0x00 eeprom 0 0 0 0 no 256 64 0 0 0 0x00 0x00 Programmer Type : JTAGMKII_PDI Description : JTAGv2 to UPDI bridge M_MCU hardware version: 1 M_MCU firmware version: 1.07 S_MCU hardware version: 1 S_MCU firmware version: 6.07 Serial number: 00:00:00:00:00:00 Vtarget : 5.0 V avrdude: jtagmkII_initialize(): Cannot locate "flash" and "boot" memories in description avrdude: AVR device initialized and ready to accept instructions Reading | ################################################## | 100% 0.15s avrdude: Device signature = 0x1e9651 (probably m4809) avrdude: erasing chip avrdude: reading input file "C:\Users\RICHAR~1\AppData\Local\Temp\arduino_build_373291/Blink.ino.hex" avrdude: writing flash (1382 bytes): Writing | ################################################## | 100% 1.04s avrdude: 1382 bytes of flash written avrdude: verifying flash memory against C:\Users\RICHAR~1\AppData\Local\Temp\arduino_build_373291/Blink.ino.hex: avrdude: load data flash data from input file C:\Users\RICHAR~1\AppData\Local\Temp\arduino_build_373291/Blink.ino.hex: avrdude: input file C:\Users\RICHAR~1\AppData\Local\Temp\arduino_build_373291/Blink.ino.hex contains 1382 bytes avrdude: reading on-chip flash data: Reading | ################################################## | 100% 0.21s avrdude: verifying ... avrdude: 1382 bytes of flash verified avrdude: reading input file "0x01" avrdude: writing fuse2 (1 bytes): Writing | ################################################## | 100% 0.01s avrdude: 1 bytes of fuse2 written avrdude: verifying fuse2 memory against 0x01: avrdude: load data fuse2 data from input file 0x01: avrdude: input file 0x01 contains 1 bytes avrdude: reading on-chip fuse2 data: Reading | ################################################## | 100% 0.00s avrdude: verifying ... avrdude: 1 bytes of fuse2 verified avrdude: reading input file "0xC9" avrdude: writing fuse5 (1 bytes): Writing | ################################################## | 100% 0.01s avrdude: 1 bytes of fuse5 written avrdude: verifying fuse5 memory against 0xC9: avrdude: load data fuse5 data from input file 0xC9: avrdude: input file 0xC9 contains 1 bytes avrdude: reading on-chip fuse5 data: Reading | ################################################## | 100% 0.00s avrdude: verifying ... avrdude: 1 bytes of fuse5 verified avrdude: reading input file "0x00" avrdude: writing fuse8 (1 bytes): Writing | ################################################## | 100% 0.01s avrdude: 1 bytes of fuse8 written avrdude: verifying fuse8 memory against 0x00: avrdude: load data fuse8 data from input file 0x00: avrdude: input file 0x00 contains 1 bytes avrdude: reading on-chip fuse8 data: Reading | ################################################## | 100% 0.00s avrdude: verifying ... avrdude: 1 bytes of fuse8 verified avrdude done.

"Can't upload anything on Arduino Nano Every" is no longer accurate. Are you still having issues with code and the Nano Every? If so, can you please post the complete code and any errors you are seeing. [Next page](https://forum.arduino.cc/t/cant-upload-anything-on-arduino-nano-every/1095623.md?page=2)
