When uploading a sketch fails using your Intel® Galileo Board, make sure that you select the correct serial port.

Follow the steps below in Device Manager:

  1. Press Windows Key + R.
  2. Click devmgmt.msc
  3. Scroll down to the ports COM & LPT. You see a listing for Intel Galileo.
     
    Note If you don't see the Intel Galileo Board, make sure you install the driver properly. If you don't install the driver properly, the Intel Galileo Board appears as GadgetSerial.
     


If the COM port is correct, and you get similar errors when you try to upload a sketch, then a process is locking your port. Try using a program like Microsoft Process Explorer* to end the process.

line 40: /dev/ttyS4: No such device or address
line 34: /dev/ttyS2: Permission denied

The processes that locked the COM port were bash.exe and lsz.exe.

If this step doesn't resolve the errors, reboot your host computer and the Intel Galileo Board.
