TinyFPGA Bootloader unusable on my desktop #28

Closed daveshah1 closed 5 years ago

daveshah1 commented 5 years ago

At least with the Ex boards, tinyprog is totally unusable on my desktop, it has never succeeded programming but will fail somewhere with a write timeout.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/tinyprog", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('tinyprog==1.0.19', 'console_scripts', 'tinyprog')()

This is i5-4690K CPU, Z97 chipset, running Arch Linux (kernel 4.18.10-arch1-1-ARCH). I have tried front and back USB ports, with and without a hub.

For reference, on my laptop (i7-6700HQ), it succeeds about 50% of the time.

Hey, I'm running into the exact same error. Did you ever solve your problem?

@daveshah1 Do you know if this is still happening?

@daveshah1 Please reopen if it is.
