Well,
For some time I have been having issues with my cheap eBay sourced Chinese Arduino Nano boards. These are not genuine and are completely ripped off by the Chinese - really we should all be supporting the genuine Arduino hardware.
Anyhow, when connecting to try and upload to these boards I keep seeing:
Using Port : COM4
Using Programmer : arduino
Overriding Baud Rate : 115200

avrdude done. Thank you.
Now, I had always assumed this was something to do with the driver or other compatibility issue; possibly related to the FTIGate.
BUT NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Arduino has recently changed to using a different bootloader on their official Nano boards that communicates at 115200 baud rather than the previous 57600 baud.
Support for these new boards was added in Arduino AVR Boards 1.6.21. The new Nano board definition is not compatible with old Nanos and likely most 3rd party Nanos.
Backwards compatibility is provided via the Tools > Processor > ATmega328P (Old Bootloader) menu selection.
And BINGO.

Hi Mark,
ReplyDeleteI too had these issues .
I use arduino ide ver1.8.8
If i allow old bootloader, it takes.
I really did not know whether a new bootloader could be reloaded like "optiboot" and workout or rather update.
I would also be interested to know any further trials on this issue.
Best of new year 2019 to you and all
