mbed no longer detected by pc after running attached code

01 Feb 2012

Hello- I successfully compiled the attached code and attempted to run it on my mbed. My host pc no longer recognizes the mbed. Can anyone tell me what might have happened to cause this and how I might correct it?

I tried to unplug/replug the mbed as well as to reboot my pc. Neither worked.

The gist of the code is to record temp data from the TMP102 and display it to the terminal application as well as write to the mbed local memory (where the *.bin files get downloaded to)

Thanks Scott

You get that effect when mbed opens local mem and never releases it again. The pc is locked from local mem. Assuming your mbed is still ok (blue led on, serial output on pc terminal), you can fix the problem by pressing and holding the reset button, mbed should show up again, download a new bin and release the reset button to start the new bin.

Wim, That worked. Thank you for your help. Scott

I have a similar effect - but using linux the mbed still shows up but as a read only file system so even pushing the reset button I am unableto write to it. Any ideas ?
