Possible solution to Nano every not Uploading Please confirm

[Tom1962]

I have bought A NoNo every Board
I cannot get compile to work

avrdude: jtagmkII_initialize(): Cannot locate "flash" and "boot" memories in description

I think reference to Nano every is missing from file

/home/pi/arduino-1.8.13/hardware/arduino/avr/boards.txt

I dont know what values to put in

Congratulations!

Tom1962:
I cannot get compile to work

avrdude: jtagmkII_initialize(): Cannot locate "flash" and "boot" memories in description

If you got that message, it proves that compile worked perfectly. This is a message that happens during the upload. The upload doesn't even start if the compile didn't work, so we know for certain that you are mistaken in the impression: "I cannot get compile to work".

Tom1962:
avrdude: jtagmkII_initialize(): Cannot locate "flash" and "boot" memories in description

This is a normal and expected message while uploading to the Nano Every. I can see from your screenshot that the upload was successful. So please just ignore this message and get back to having fun with Arduino.

Tom1962:

/home/pi/arduino-1.8.13/hardware/arduino/avr/boards.txt

That is incorrect. That is the boards.txt file for the "Arduino AVR Boards" platform. The Nano Every is not a board of that platform. The boards platform of the Nano Every is "Arduino megaAVR Boards". If you found the boards.txt for the Arduino megaAVR Boards platform, you would see the definition for the Nano Every in that file.

Please don't edit that file. There is no reason to do it and it will likely cause you problems later.
