Butterstick FPGA does not open UART after successful flash

[Goof512]

Hi, I'm working on the Butterstick FPGA dev board, in DFU mode. I can get all the way to a successful flash onto the FPGA, as indicated by a blue LED chaser effect on the board. However, once there, the ./make.py script hangs without error.

Resetting USB to switch back to Run-Time mode

This process will wait indefinitely. I have tried to manually reset the link and connect with litex_term, however the butterstick appears to not have its uart-usb bridge configured correctly by litex - and thus cannot be detected as a tty device.

Any suggestions on next steps would be greatly appreciated.

The code in this repo uses a serial UART from the breakout board, not the USB. Some example code incorporating the USB serial can be found at the link below. I have not gotten the USB to work with the butterstick definition here though.
