I am not able to upload my programs to my Arduino Nano ICSTATION V3.0 board. Any one please help ... :)the error is as follows:
Arduino: 1.6.8 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Nano, ATmega328"

Sketch uses 1,332 bytes (4%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30,720 bytes.
Global variables use 77 bytes (3%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1,971 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

Hi Sana
Are you giving any kind of input on the RX/TX pin??

Try telling the IDE it's an Uno, and see if that works (also try duemillanove and pro mini). sync errors where it always responds with the same thing on all 10 attempts can indicate that it's trying to talk to the bootloader at the wrong baud rate.

Those boards all use the same microcontroller, and are code and binary compatible, but they came with different bootloaders and different upload speeds. It is not uncommon for boards from china to arrive with the wrong bootloader on them (most often, the chips are bootloaded with optiboot, the Uno bootloader, because it's better than the others - it's only 512 bytes instead of 2048, leaving more room for your sketch, and it's faster)
