Mbed disconnecting every 30 s

26 Jul 2018

Hi all, I'm attaching the kl25z to my windows 10 machine, but every about 20-30s the drive detach from windows and will reattach immediatly after. the drivers are correctly installed; in my ubuntu machine the kl25z board works fine without any problem. googling I cannot find any solution or any similar topic. What is the windows' problem? any sugestion of how to fix the problem are welcomed. Thanks in advice.

Hello Carmelo,

This could be a few things. First, could you try connecting the board with a different USB cable as well as using different USB ports on your computer to connect? Sometimes USB cables can lead to faulty connections.

Next, can you try connecting the board to a different computer that is not using Windows 10 (such as Windows 7 or XP)? Some users have had problems with the connections when using Windows 10. This is often because the boards are shipped with outdated firmware (some also have had troubles with Windows 8). Here is an in depth article on this problem: https://mcuoneclipse.com/2016/08/01/bricking_and_recovering_opensda_boards_in_windows_8_and_10/

Finally, if the suggestions above do not work, you can try updating the firmware for your board:

  • Next, search for the KL25Z interface firmware from https://armmbed.github.io/DAPLink/, download, and drag and drop the .bin file into the BOOTLOADER drive. The drive should dismount and reconnect as the daplink drive.

Hope this helps!
