Hi All,
I am having a problem when downloading my program to my BL0055 board, I am getting the message below

I have read couple of posts talking about the parameters in the compiler options, I have attached a snap shot of mine so you can have additional information.

And I have also attached my device manager status snap shot. My PC doesn't see the board through COM ports, but through USB.

Kindly help so I can get going with the downloads of my programs. thanks

Hi,
You need to connect the Arduino board USB to PC
Then select the allocated PC port ...

Hi LeighM,
Thank you for your reply, but on my programmer port I am not seeing any port coming on the drop down menu. I have installed the arduino hardwares as per advice, and installed them as you see there are no unknown devices related to the BL0055 board on my device manager.

Hi,
The USB BL0055 device is for the Ghost connection only.
The programming is not done through this port, but directly with the Arduino USB/COM port.
I suggest that you remove the Arduino board from the BL0055 and any other connected peripherals
and try connecting the Arduino only to the PC and see if it is then detected and the COM port is allocated.

Also this article should be of help ...

Hi LeighM,
Thanks for the support. I now understand where I got everything wrong.
