Hello all,

I'm attempting to get my Bela working, but I seem to be having no joy. I have flashed an SD card with the latest available image v0.3.8h. The board seems to boot up fine (lights flash for 30 seconds or so before steadily flashing at a heartbeat pace), but I can't seem to connect to it in any way.

I've tried a few different solutions after looking on this forum, but still can't get it to work. If anyone could help me, that would be great.

bela.local gives 'DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN'
And any attempt at connecting through the terminal doesn't help.

Additional info:
Macbook M1 running MacOS Ventura (so I shouldn't need the drivers, right?)
The Bela is a starter kit. I believe there's a BBB underneath and the Cape is on top (It came pre-built from my university, so I want to assume it's been put together correctly).

Really not sure, any help people?

    Haven't tested on M1, but MacOS Ventura is what I have on my Intel macbook and Bela shows up without need for drivers.

    yes

    After you connect the board and wait for two minutes, please run the following commands in a terminal on your mac one at a time and post here the results:

    ifconfig
cat /Volumes/BELABOOT/bela.version
ls /dev/tty*bela*
ioreg -p IOUSB -w0 -l

        I had this issue on my M3 MBP and found that I just had to ssh to the Bela via the terminal to trigger the security message about allowing access to the device. Then I could connect via the browser right away.

          Thanks for reporting that. Do you have any recollection of what this security message looked like? I am a bit puzzled by how you were allowed to ssh onto the device but not access a webpage served by it. Were you getting any errors in the browser before that?
