Failing to upload to Sparkfun Edge board using Arduino IDE 1.8.19 #461

I struggled to upload a simple blink code into a Sparkfun Edge board, for the past month, but did not succeed yet. In fact, I purchased a 2nd board as well thinking that I might have damaged the first board. But the second also behaved the same. I am using a Sparkfun recommended USB-C to UART (3.3V) breakout, which uses CH340C. My computer has Windows 10 and I have tried both Arduino IDE 1.8.19 version and Arduino IDE 2.0.0-rc6. But no success.

When I use Arduino IDE 1.8.19, my settings are: image

Then when I press the upload button, it tries three times and then fails. I tried reducing the baud rate. I tried pressing buttons as mentioned in the Sparkfun tutorial. Again I have also tried not touching any buttons. I could see that the Tx LED on the CH340C breakout board blinks momentarily but Rx does not blink. The edge board gets reset when the Tx LED blinks (if I do not keep the button 14 pressed on), and it does three times before declaring fail to upload:

I am exhausted trying. Any lights, please....

The button order is very important. The hookup guide looks different from what I do :

Press and hold the Reset button
While still holding down the Reset button, press and hold the 14 button
Release the Reset Button
**KEEP THE 14 BUTTON PRESSED**  DO NOT  : Release the 14 button !!
Hit Upload in the Arduino IDE (or use your keyboard shortcut)

GIve it a try. regards, Paul

@paulvha, it works!! Great! I followed the sequence earlier, but as it is very hard to keep the button pressed for a longer duration, I might have released button 14 some point of time after releasing RESET button. This time I ensured I keep the button pressed till the upload is completed and it works on both the boards I have. Thanks a lot!!! I owe you one!!!

Good to hear it worked.

You have to keep it pressed until it starts to upload. Then you can release it. @Wenn0101, can you pass this on to someone who can update the hookup page for the Edge ?
