Guys,

I've just got a C5 BLE and started playing with it, yet I got stuck on flashing firmware.

As the manual says, I install openxc, usb back end, and averdude. Then, when I tried


“$ ls /dev/tty.usb*” 


I couldn't find anything named in this format, the most similar names are "/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port" and "/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Modem".
It seems that nothing changed in "dev" folder after I connect the VI to my laptop.


Before I went through the above, I once ignored the firmware flashing stuff, and attempted to run "openxc-control version" and "openxc-dump" directly (and I did see some data flowing, which is pretty weird). Will that have any influence on it?

Hi,

Did you run the command with the first few seconds after plugging in the device? 

Running the commands you tried won't have any effect.

Regards,
Eric
