flash.flashBinary fails for KL05Z

I'm trying to flash a binary via pyOCD, which fails:

After this I cannot upload apps via "usb flash" interface as well, the only way to "unbrick" the board is to reflash it to original bootcode and then flash mbed bootcode back.

Any hints?

Hello Vladimir,

how can I replicate this on my KL05Z? Do you use gdb or just a script like provided examples? Can you sahre with me, I can look at it..

Not using gdb, just the python console:

from pyOCD.board import MbedBoard

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

board = MbedBoard.chooseBoard()
board.flash.flashBinary('frdm_tsi_slider_KL05Z.bin')

where frdm_tsi_slider_KL05Z.bin is generated from the mbed example code for slider.

I hacked up my ctypes wrapper around IOKit for hid, but exactly the same problem happens on linux with libusb (also, my wrapper works well with lpc1768, so it souldn't be an issue).
