I connected my brand new Arduino Nano 3.0 clone with CH340G and installed the drivers. It detects in Device Manager as USB-SERIAL CH340 (COM6). Under the Tools menu, i selected the correct board, the processor set to ATmega328P and the COM port. I couldn't upload my sketch so i tried uploading an example Blink sketch from Arduino IDE. The uploading is stuck. I keep waiting and nothing happens. I have read somewhere else that i should enable verbose output for compilation and upload, which i did and here is the output for trying to upload the basic Blink sketch.

Arduino: 1.8.9 (Windows 7), Board: "Arduino Nano, ATmega328P"

avrdude done.  Thank you.

Problem uploading to board.  See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.

    I have had cheap nano clones come from China without a bootloader installed. Try reinstalling the bootloader.

    I searched and found that i would need a working Arduino Nano in order to transfer its working bootloader onto the non-working one. Is it possible to do it if i don't have another Arduino Nano?

    Get yourself a USBASP off eBay/AliExpress/Amazon.

Reset to default

You normally just have to press 'reset' on the board button 1 sec before clicking 'Upload'.

I had to do this with cheap Nano clone.

    MCU on Nano doesn't have native USB and has a different bootloader.
