Megaatmega1280 *** [upload] Error 1

PlatformIO Core
1

Hello,

I am having trouble to upload to a megaatmega1280 target. The code compiles successfully, but it can not be uploaded. I just tried to upload the same code using Arduino IDE and worked fine. The same occurred on a PC running Ubuntu 14.04 and on a Mac running Mac OS X Sierra. Here follows the error message.

Thank you very much.

Hello,

I forgot to say I am using Platformio Core on Shell. I just tried the same code on the Atom IDE and worked fine. But I still need to use it on Shell because I have to program and debug targets on remote PCs, so shell is more convenient.

Thanks.

Do you mean that it works from Shell?

Exactly. I was trying to upload to an Arduino board using the command “platformio run --target upload” when I got these error messages. From Arduino IDE or Platformio IDE on Atom the upload works fine.

Thank you.

It looks that you have multiple PIO Cores in a system. As you have mentioned above, if you use PIO IDE it works well because PIO IDE uses built-in latest PIO Core.

Nevertheless, if you use custom Shell/Terminal it doesn’t work. You can check PIO Core version via pio --version.
