Thanks.

got same on 14.2.1 intel

ditohead,

Seems you are using an older version (32 bit only) of the uploader script. Can you try the V1,4,5 uploader for Mac? That should be 64 bit.

Regards,
Rob

@robouden, thats for 1.4.5
I pull Resources folder and replace avrdude, with fresh one, but now got problem with

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00

UPD: resolved with adding DTR line

[robouden]

Arsen, You do seem to understand a bit about programming. Can you try to extract the binary and use avrdude to flash the Nano? Regards Rob Oudendijk

I just try to start avrdude from 1.4.5 uploader, but get:

bad CPU type in executable: ./avrdude

Quick googling says, that is 32bit app try to be runned in x64 env. for ARM macbooks this can be fixed with installation Rosetta2, but for Intel powered MBs this is solution is not suitable.

Quick way to fix:

1. Unpack 1.4.5 uploader
2. cd ./Resources/bin
3. Put into /bin fresh avrdude and avrdude.conf (I take from Arduino app v6.3, trying using v7.3 from brew , but it don't have config for arduino programmer in avrdude.conf, and config from 1.4.5 uploader not suitable for 7.3)
4. cd ..
5. chmod +x script
6. ./script
   ...
   Voila!

Or you can publish updater with fresh avrdude : )
