Seeeduino Femto Can't Download

Hi,



I’m trying to download a simple blink sketch (even though there isn’t a user LED), but it always fails the download with:

</s>Sketch uses 10676 bytes (4%) of program storage space. Maximum is 262144 bytes. java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "{runtime.tools.bossac-1.7.0.path}/bossac": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:1048) at processing.app.helpers.ProcessUtils.exec(ProcessUtils.java:26) at cc.arduino.packages.Uploader.executeUploadCommand(Uploader.java:129) at cc.arduino.packages.uploaders.SerialUploader.runCommand(SerialUploader.java:383) at cc.arduino.packages.uploaders.SerialUploader.uploadUsingPreferences(SerialUploader.java:197) at cc.arduino.UploaderUtils.upload(UploaderUtils.java:77) at processing.app.SketchController.upload(SketchController.java:732) at processing.app.SketchController.exportApplet(SketchController.java:703) at processing.app.Editor$UploadHandler.run(Editor.java:2075) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748) Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified at java.lang.ProcessImpl.create(Native Method) at java.lang.ProcessImpl.<init>(ProcessImpl.java:386) at java.lang.ProcessImpl.start(ProcessImpl.java:137) at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:1029) ... 9 more An error occurred while uploading the sketch<e>

I can download the code into other SAMD21 based arduino boards, but not either of the Femto boards.



I tried a double reset to removed the USB storage UF2 access, with the same result.



I’m using the Seeed SAMD Boards v1.6.6 board manager file.



Any help would be appreciated.

I got my Femto working now. I ended up trying to use version 1.6.5 of the Seeed SAMD boards. After that, no more issues uploading.

Thank you very much for your input!



I downgraded to 1.6.5 and the download went through without issue.



I can now look to ordering the PCBs for the new version of a tiny split keyboard using either the Femto or XIAO (with power selection jumpers to handle the differences) mounted within each unit.
