Custom samd21 board error uploading sketch

Having problems uploading first sketch to custom minimal samd21G18 (no led’s or crystal on board)

schematic: ( new user and can't upload files)

getting this error message in the ide during upload

Arduino: 1.8.17 (Linux), Board: "Arduino Zero (Native USB Port)"

I was able to flash the bootloader successfully using atmel studio and a jlink mini.

Before compiling the bootloader I modified the board_definitions_arduino_zero.h adding in

#define CRYSTALLESS (1)

and commenting out the board_led_pin, board_led_rxpin, board_led_txpin lines

the board is recognized in linux and gets assigned a port inside the arduino ide.

this line was modified in boards.txt:

arduino_zero_native.build.extra_flags= -DCRYSTALLESS -D__SAMD21G18A__ {build.usb_flags}

note: this chip was harvested from a wemos/robodyn arduino zero clone board. before taking the chip
from that board I was getting the same error during upload. (I think, can’t remember the exact error but was unable to upload a sketch)
