Unable to Upload FW on MKS Gen L V2.1 board

[CHRISCHIERE]

Hi, got a new MKS Gen l V2.1 clone board and tried to upload FW, with Arduino V1.11.5 FW and having same trouble with time out error on AMD Windows 11 PC and INTEL N95 Windows 11. tried USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports same behavior, then using Arduino IDE i managed to upload a sketch working on Arduino MEGA 2560 and it works on the MKS V2.1. On the other hand was able to upload the FW with same configuration as before on the Arduino ATEMEGA 2560 board , and it works. i just want to add the Focuser but no way to upload it on MKS ... Any ideas ?

I had the same problem, but it worked with xLoader:

https://github.com/binaryupdates/xLoader

1. Build firmware with OAT firmware GUI

2. find the .hex file in this folder: \OATFWGUI_1.0.5\OATFW\.pio\build\mksgenlv21

3. burn it with xloader (the device should be atmega2560 and the baud rate is 115200)
