Sensebender Gateway error uploading the sketch

[MoeAlmas]

I have a new Sensebender Gateway with a RF69HW , and I am trying to upload the first sketch , and I am getting an error "SAM-BA operation failed" .

Arduino IDE 1.8.2
Arduino SAMD Boards 1.6.16
Mysensors SAMD 1.05

I have already tried different configuration and always getting the same error , anyone can help me ?

Sketch uses 34968 bytes (13%) of program storage space. Maximum is 262144 bytes.

After this error the led D5 (orange) stays ON , and I have to make two reset to have the board available again .

Have you tried another USB cable?

What about a simple sketch, blinking LED_BLUE (yes, there is defines for the 5 different LED colors available on the gateway :) )

void setup() {
  pinMode(LED_BLUE, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BLUE, HIGH);
  delay(500);
  digitalWrite(LED_BLUE, LOW);
  delay(500);
}

Hi

Your example gives the same error , but it loads the sketch , and the sketch runs without problems ... strange for me , this are the messages :

Sketch uses 9784 bytes (3%) of program storage space. Maximum is 262144 bytes.

Then I add two simple lines :

#define MY_GATEWAY_SERIAL
#include <MySensors.h>

And the sketch doesn´t load :

Did you try another USB cable?

[MoeAlmas]

Yes , 4 different . One doesn't work (the board is not recognized) , the other three give the same result / error .

[MoeAlmas]

@tbowmo Any new idea?

@MoeAlmas

I'm out of ideas, other than looking for bad soldering etc.
