No Blinking Lights

WILLPOWER

Hi, my Bela mini is no longer connecting successfully to my laptop. The blinking lights are no longer blinking... Does it means that it's dead ? I restarted my computer before shutting down Bela. It has not worked since. I think it may have killed it...

Hmmm does the power light come on at all? If you could try to reflash the SD card you may figure out whether it got corrupted. Having a UART adapter connected to P1.30 and P1.32 could also be used to read the boot log.

giuliomoro Hi, thank you Giuliomoro 🙂 The power light is on. I will reflash the SD card and see what it reveals. I am not aware of the UART Adapter, I will look into it in the references. Thank you !

giuliomoro I reflashed the card, still nothing. I may have to get an UART adapter...
Is there info in the knowledge base about reading the boot log ? I'm curious to know what to look for...

Well at first it's really just about whether you get a serial log at all. Connect a "Rx" to the "Tx" pin (P1.30) (and ground) and see if you can get any text at all (at 115200 baud) when the board is powered up.
