[gamelaster]

Because on you are specifying chip bl60x, but Pinecil have BL706 chip, thus use bl70x instead.

[L-udo]

Sorry, forgot to add it to the issue, i have tried using bl70x, same issue with both

[gamelaster]

Did you tried another pc / cable? Are you sure you have correct COM port? (you don't need to specify com port on BL70X)

[L-udo]

Did you tried another pc / cable? Are you sure you have correct COM port? (you don't need to specify com port on BL70X)

I will try a new pc later. I have tried all of the above sadly

[kajgies]

I am having the same issue, here is the log:

.\blisp.exe write --port=COM3 --chip=bl70x --reset .\Pinecilv2_EN.bin

Sending a handshake...
Received no response from chip.
Failed to handshake with device.

I got the same error with 5 different USB cables on both my PC & laptop. Tried both USB C to C, and C to A cables. I also tried manually setting the COM of my device to COM10 but got the same error. Could it be that something changed on newer batches of the pinecil 2?

[gamelaster]

@kajgies what is the output when --port is not specified?

[kajgies]

.\blisp.exe write --chip=bl70x --reset .\Pinecilv2_EN.bin
Device not found

I am sure that COM3 is the pinecil.

[gamelaster]

@kajgies please, can you open device manager, find the COM3, and find VID & PID?

[kajgies]

It says: USB\VID_FFFF&PID_FFFF&REV_0200

[gamelaster]

This is very interesting, it is correct VID & PID. Did you tried to launch it as Admin?

[kajgies]

I tried both cmd & powershell. Tried it as admin too, same result

[gamelaster]

@kajgies This is really interesting that even when device is connected and visible, it can't auto-detect or use the port... Maybe antivirus or something? I really never seen this happening.

[kajgies]

Just Windows antivirus. If there's anything else I can try or do to help solve the problem, please let me know.

[kajgies]

I tried linux and here it worked instantly. So for me the problem is resolved. Weird that it didn't work on Windows tho. I tried all the USB ports on a PC & a laptop, very strange.
