Trouble resetting board

Dev Kit Support

Hello!

I’m trying to reset my board to start fresh before configuring it for deployment. The last time I used the board was months ago. However, when I use the “debug reset” command, I receive the following error: debug reset
Exception in thread rx:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/Users/swordfish/miniconda3/lib/python3.12/site-packages/serial/serialposix.py”, line 575, in read
buf = os.read(self.fd, size - len(read))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
OSError: [Errno 6] Device not configured

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Hi @Swordfish! The debug reset function is like tapping the reset button on the board. It doesn’t change any configs or the firmware. The errors you pasted are simply the output from the python serial package when an open serial connection unexpectedly closes.

Do you already have a firmware application that you want to run on the dev kit? If so, you can go ahead and flash it.

Are there particular configurations you want to set or delete? You can do so over USB serial regardless of what firmware is on there right now using the cfg command. You can learn more about it by typing help in the serial terminal.

If you’re wanting to get started from square one on developing a new application, it’s best to start with the Dev Kit User Guides.

Cheers!

I see, I was worried that the board was not resetting. I am no longer getting the output from the temp and humidity sensors. Should I be concerned about this?

I do not have anything ready to flash on to the board, the end goal is to connect a sensor. But it has been so long since I have done so, I wanted to go through the dev guides first.

I don’t think there’s any need to be concerned. Those sensor readings depend on the firmware and configurations.

Have fun diving into the guides, and come back to the forum with questions anytime! :raising_hands:
