I just finished updating the spotter and dev kit modules to v2.15.1 and v.0.11 respectively.

After that I tried flashing the hello world program again and now I’m suddenly seeing these errors when the spotter is connected to the devkit:  
“/bm/53bcc703ce1e1390/\<0x01\>power.lo” Error opening file after 4 retries [6]  
/bm/53bcc703ce1e1390/\<0x01\>power.lo LOG Error re-opening file /bm/53bcc703ce1e1390/\<0x01\>power.lo [6]"  
“/bm/53bcc703ce1e1390/\<0x01\>hum\_temp.lo” Error opening file after 4 retries [6]  
/bm/53bcc703ce1e1390/\<0x01\>hum\_temp.lo LOG Error re-opening file /bm/53bcc703ce1e1390/\<0x01\>hum\_temp.lo [6]"  
“/bm/53bcc703ce1e1390/\<0x01\>pressure.lo” Error opening file after 4 retries [6]  
/bm/53bcc703ce1e1390/\<0x01\>pressure.lo LOG Error re-opening file /bm/53bcc703ce1e1390/\<0x01\>pressure.lo [6]"

I have tried re-flashing the program once again, but the error persists.

I don’t see any command to remove these files using the spotter cli (I suspect it could be some incompatibility as these files were being written to by the older f/w versions prior to the update)

Any help/clarification regarding this would be appreciated!

Note: If there are any steps I need to take post updating the f/w, do let me know. I have followed steps 1 and 2 in `https://bristlemouth.notion.site/Bristlemouth-Dev-Kit-Guide-Serial-Client-for-CircuitPython-569f25f984874a1485595b7a177669a7?pvs=25`

Hi @GautamB, I had this issue last week, turns out I was cloning the develop branch. Selecting the latest release fixed it for me. Hope this helps.

Thanks @HendrikJvR, this worked!

Note: Do a `make clean` and then `make -j` to get it working.
