Can't upload code to nano rp2040

Development Tools Uploading

Hi there for whatever reason I can't seem to get my code to upload to the nano rp2040

I have the board and com selected but i get the error

Sketch uses 97134 bytes (0%) of program storage space. Maximum is 16777216 bytes.

I tried some various trouble shooting methods like uploading while the board is in reset mode, but still no avail

Hi @mmiller305033. Did you try the technique described in the "Board Not Detected" section of this tutorial?:

https://docs.arduino.cc/tutorials/nano-rp2040-connect/rp2040-01-technical-reference#board-not-detected

I just tried that but no mass storage device opened when i connected the jumper wire

Make sure the USB cable is completely plugged into both the Arduino board and the PC and then try again.

If that doesn't help, you may have a damaged/defective or charge-only USB cable. Try again with a different cable.

Either of the above can result in the power connections being made (and thus LED lights on the board), but no data connections (and thus no port/drive for the board).

So with a new cable in use, following the steps provided I am able to establish a connection. However, after I flash my code to the nano2040 it says

After it flashes the com connection disappears again.

I'm using a basic example sketch:

#include <Arduino_LSM6DSOX.h>
void setup() {
}

void loop() {

float x, y, z;

if (IMU.accelerationAvailable()) {
    IMU.readAcceleration(x, y, z);

    Serial.print(x);
    Serial.print('\t');
    Serial.print(y);
    Serial.print('\t');
    Serial.println(z);
}
}

I want to be reading data from the serial port so the fact that the connection disappears makes it impossible to use

Any ideas

Hi @mmiller305033. The problem is you forgot to add a call to IMU.begin() in your setup function.

You can see how that is done in the library's documentation here:

You can also check the examples that demonstrate the usage of the library. They are listed under the File > Examples > Arduino_LSM6DSOX menu in Arduino IDE.

I'm having the same issue here. I have nothing connected to any of the pins on the board. I was able to upload in bootloader mode, complete a hard reset, and complete a factory reset all successfully.

But when I try to upload a sketch (even a sketch with no additional code aside from setup and loop methods defined), I get Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1

On this computer:

  • I can upload successfully to my Arduino Uno
  • Uploading to my Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect fails
  • Uploading to my Arduino Leonardo fails

I tried a different computer with the exact same cable and I can upload to both my Arduino Leonardo and Nano successfully. I checked the driver versions and they appear exactly the same in Device Manager on both computers. Both PCs are on the same version of Windows (21H2). Both are running the newest Arduino IDE (2.1.0).

The only big difference I can think of is one has an AMD CPU and the other has Intel.
