Embed download to target failure "programmer is not responding"

Using Altair Embed Basic 2020BUILD99

I have built the simple example, it puts a square wave out to an LED.  The target is an Arduino Nano, which is similar to the Uno, so I am using that config since there is no nano to choose.  The Arduino Nano was loaded with an example program to test the setup. It did require  selecting "Processor: "ATmega328P (Old Bootloader)". 

I am receiving the Altair Embed error:

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

avrdude:stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x05

I have successfully compiled, downloaded, and executed the same program(with appropriate configuration changes)  on an Arduino Mega 2560, using the same computer and setup.

Where do I look to start tracking this problem down?

    Hi Chris,

     

    Thank you for using Altair Embed.

     

    The main difference between Uno and Nano is only size. Using Uno in Config will definitely work, so I believe you are in the right direction.

    I am using Altair Embed 2020Build99. Not the 'Basic' version that you are using, but they both can program an Arduino products.

    Based on your description, I created a simple diagram to blink an LED connected to D8 on Arduino Nano, and it can compile, download and execute without warning. I am not sure why Embed is giving you those errors, but I guess it might relate to certain configuration in the model.

    I have put the model in the attachment and also configuration screenshots in case that you have difficulty opening the '.vsm' model in Embed Basic.

     

    Let me know if you have any further questions.

     

    Thank you,

    Yichen
