Emakefun (LGT8F328P Nano Pro) - Need Help

Having trouble getting this nano to work with Arduino IDE.

This board is not a real Arduino Board! That being said, it is sold as being compatible to Atmel 328p.

Link Here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003884014135.html

The trouble I'm having is that I can not upload a basic sketch to this board using Arduion IDE. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


  1. Downloaded the files from GitHub. GitHub - nulllaborg/lgt8fx: Board Package for Logic Green LGT8F328P LGT8F328D and LGT8F88D
  2. Downloaded the driver for CH340 from GitHub. GitHub - adrianmihalko/ch340g-ch34g-ch34x-mac-os-x-driver: CH340G CH34G CH34X Mac OS X driver
  3. Installed the driver and put lgt8fx files in the Hardware folder as described.
  4. Followed the instructions on this GitHub page. GitHub - dbuezas/lgt8fx: Board Package for Logic Green LGT8F328P LGT8F328D and LGT8F88D
    Read a lot, tried a few different things, Read some more, tried some other things, but just no luck getting the board to upload a sketch.

Tried to upload Bootloader to board, but couldn't get that to work either.

This is the error I'm getting:

Arduino: 1.8.19 (Mac OS X), Board: "LGT8F328, Default (64), Internal, 32 MHz, 328P-LQFP32 (e.g. MiniEVB nano-style and WAVGAT)"

Sketch uses 1052 bytes (3%) of program storage space. Maximum is 29696 bytes.

avrdude done.  Thank you.

Problem uploading to board.  See https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/sections/360003198300 for suggestions.

Thanks,

If you have only had it a few days go to Aliexpress and ask for your money back since it is defective. Be sure to state you expect them to issue a prepaid return shipper. I have had very good luck with them. If it is possible connect it to a friend's machine first to be sure it is faulty. Also it should have been blinking when you powered it up, if not it was defective or not programed.

Yes, it blinks when power is applied.
Thanks,
