Maple mini bricked
Posted: Sat Jul 25, 2020 8:47 pm
I received today a Maple Mini board and wanted to do some tests with it by programming it with the Arduino IDE.
So I searched Internet and found out that I had to flash another bootloader. So I installed Flash Loader Demonstrator and uploaded the bin file with a FT232. Then disconnected the FT232 and plugged the USB into the board. Nothing. I'm running W10, no pling that a new USB device was recognised.
The led on the board is off, and with boot1 low and pressing the reset sw while pressing the but=32 (connected to boot0) switch nothing happens, the FLD does not recognise the device (connected to the FT232). This did work at first.
Is there anyting I can do to unbrick the device? Or is it ready for the garbage bin?
The chip is labeled STM32F103C8T6GH28Z and at first the FLD said it was a 64K device, not the 128K a 'real' maple mini should be.
