MATLAB: Problem connecting to Arduino Nano 3.0

arduinoMATLAB

I am trying to use an Arduino Nano 3.0 with MATLAB. I get the following error from trace:
         System wide configuration file is
         "C:\ProgramData\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2019b\3P.instrset\arduinoide.instrset\hardware\tools\avr/etc/avrdude.conf"

         Using Programmer              : arduino

avrdude done.  Thank you.
An error occurred while uploading the sketch
I can however, use the Arduino IDE to upload code and get serial info. Note that the Nano is probably a clone and shows as FTDI USB Serial in the COM port.

Ok so I solved this in a weird way. Instead of specifying that the board is a Nano, I specified the board as a Pro Mini 328.
