Failed to open serial port #33

Open broyuken opened 5 months ago

broyuken commented 5 months ago

Hello,

I'm fairly sure I'm doing this correctly but I am unable to open the serial connection to flash a CB3S with OBK. I am using this USB to TTL module https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805987170518.html

and wired up the 4 ports to VCC, GND, and flipped RX and TX. I have also verified that the device is getting power, both with a multimeter, and the fact that it shows up as online in the SmartLife app. IMG_0761 IMG_0760

However I am getting the following error from the flasher whenever I try to do anything.

Starting flash new (no backup)!
Now is: Wednesday, June 5, 2024 10:43:24.
Flasher mode: BK7231N
Going to open port: COM4.
Serial port open exception: System.IO.IOException: A device attached to the system is not functioning.

Failed to open serial port!

The COM port does show up in Windows so it doesn't appear to be a driver issue. image

Anyone have an idea what could be the issue here?
