When compiling or uploading code, this error will occur if no board is selected, or if the board core is not installed.

* Connected boards that were identified by Arduino IDE will appear in the list.

* To manually select the board, or to select a board without connecting it, choose _Select other board and port_.

It should be looking somewhat like the above. The name of your board should be visible in the board dropdown bar. There may also be a red cross. This indicates that the board isn't available on any port but this will not prevent the code from compiling.

If it reads `no board selected`, a board needs to be selected. Click to open the dropdown.

In this case, choose 'Yes' to have the required core installed.

## Is the board core installed?

In this case, choose **Yes** to install the required core.

In the above example, we used the pop-up to install the required core. If you didn't receive a pop-up, or if you're receiving the same error despite a board being selected, please ensure the *board core* is installed using [this guide](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/getting-started-with-ide-v2/ide-v2-board-manager#installing-a-core).
