Nano RP2040 Connect work with Arduino IDE and Firmware update

Development Tools Uploading

It's really nightmare to make Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect working properly. Right now, I am facing two big issues :-

  1. Arduino IDE (I tried both 2.x and downgrade to 1.8.18) cannot upload the code and run it properly. I checked everything (port, libraries, USB cables...etc.). See diagram below :-

Note that when I turn to use Thonny run as MicroPython, it works well. That is to say, the COM connection is OK.

  1. 2nd big issue is I need to manually to update the NINA firmware (from 1.4.8 to 1.5.0) because seems the MicroPython doesn't support the old firmware. However, the Arduino IDE (IDE 2.x right now) cannot find the board for firmware update. So I manually use the command line to update the firmware. See below command line (This is for get version first to make sure everything OK before flashing). Disappointing that it also gets error too.
C:\...\arduino-fwuploader firmware get-version -b arduino:mbed_nano:nanorp2040connect -a COM3
rp2040load 1.0.6 - compiled with go1.16.2
.....................
Error: exit status 1
Couldn't get firmware version: exit status 3

So, right now, I am getting stuck in this board development.

Can anyone help me to solve this? Thank a lot.
