Cannot gert XM125 to connect to flash firmware

I have gone through the instructions several times, executing one step at a time but it never connects so I can flash the distance bin to the firmware. I’m using a Windows 11 system, plugging the board into USB. I have hardware up so I can see the Com port created when I plug it in, it creates two, one specific, one generic. Once it’s plugged in, as per instruction, I press and hold the boot button, hold it, press and hold the reset button, then release the boot, then the reset. I’ve held them varying amounts of time from 5 seconds per step, to 30 seconds per step, still no luck. I’ve tried the ST tool to connect to it, and the exploration tool, no difference. HELP?!?!??!?

I think SparkFun needs to test the board.

I think they need to send me a replacement. How about it SparkFun? Also would be nice if the one you send has the distance bin already flashed on it for my trouble. Just sayin…

Hi Doug (@wapiti59 ),

It sounds like you are releasing the buttons in the wrong order?

Please see the link below:

I hope this helps,

The instructions I found actually said the reverse of the release order, so I’ll try that this evening.
