Make sure your using the legacy bootloader, or those nanos wont talk.Sent via

believe Linux does have the drivers “built-in”, but not installed by defaul. I
tried several distrros without joy. Oddly, I found I could use an ARM version
running on my Asus TinkerBoard, which is a hopped up Raspberry Pi.My conclusion
is that I do not know how to make the driver, built in or not, work, and I
tried a bunch of distros including Ubuntu, Debian and I lost track of others.
None of the Intel versions had the driver active on an OOB install.Have you
tried installing the Arduino IDE to see if will talk to Arduino?JonOn Apr 1,

I wondered about this because I bought a box of cheap Chinese
Nano clones a year or so ago and I never installed any drivers to
talk to them with my laptop, upon which I run only Linux. I
thought I had the weird serial port because I ran into the
watchdog timer issue that is associated with them. So I looked
into it. As near as I can tell, Linux has had "out of the box"
drivers for the CH340G serial port for many years. So, there is
no need to install any drivers to talk to your boards if you run
Linux. It "just works".

Linux users:
Install the appropriate version, however I do not
really recommend Linux for the Arduino 101, because of
difficulty installing the Chinese USB-Serial driver, which is
needed. Again, disk space!
STEP TWO
The Arduino Nanos I will be supplying use a Chinese
USB-SERIAL chip (CH340G). The manufacture’s official download
site, unfortunalely is only available in Chinese, but I have a
solution. Use Google Translate!
