Hi guys,
today I bought two Genuino101 Boards, one for me and one for a friend. Both of us get the same Error Message when we try to upload the standard sketches to the board, it reads:
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
and then repeats this error message several times.
My System:
Mac Book Air 13" (August 2015 Series)
Mac OS Sierra (10.12.1)
Arduino Version 1.6.13
My friend uses Arduino 1.6.12 and tried uploading the sketches with Windows and Linux, but the problem remains the same. Both of us also have installed the required Curie Package, which pops up when connecting the Genuino101 to the Laptop. We have worked with Arduino Uno / Leonardo for quite a while, and of course we know how to check the standard settings (port etc.), or using the reset buttons, or restart Laptops etc. Nothing helped.
The Arduino IDE recognizes the Board (as mentioned above, when plugging in the Genuino for the first time, the IDE suggests to install the Curie extension). And when we check the board information, it says
BN: Arduino/Genuino 101
VID: 8087
PID: 0AB6
SN: AE6771SQ61300T1
And, if this is a helpful information: The little green LED on the Genuino is permanently on when the Genuino is connected to the Laptop.
We have googled now for quite a while, many many people seem to have the same problem, but we don't really find a working solution.
I hope someone can help.
Best,
Marc
Simply select "Arduino/Genuino 101" and you are ready to go! (I believe you already selected the correct serial port)
