BC66 with BC66NBR01A10 - upload errors

[belveder79]

thx for working on getting these modules somehow usable... probably I'm just making a stupid mistake, but I can't get any of the examples to work.

This seems to be ok so far. The examples all compile fine, but once I'm about to upload them I get something like this:

It's probably a super obvious mistake, but I can't find it. Any clues?

Hi The platform is frozen https://github.com/Wiz-IO/platform-quectel or ask support@quectel.com or eddy.mao@quectel.com

[Wiz-IO]

BTW: on upload - click module reset or power on buttons Waiting module for POWER-ON or RESET

[belveder79]

Ok, thx. Yes I saw that it is frozen. Just wondering because there haven't been any changes to the hardware and the firmware is listed. Therefore I expected it to work, at least some hello world example...

I actually got to the point where I shortened the reset on the board...

[belveder79]

Yes… exactly those… that’s why I say, I tested the mqtt and hello world and couldn’t get them to load…

[mrks89]

How is the progress, could you make it in the end? Also not mastering a hello world. The upload seems to work fine, but not even a Serial.print in the setup function is visible in the serial monitor.
