Issue: Continuous reset loop

On linux my pinscape controller resets every 10 seconds. When disabling the reset the lights blink red-yellow. Keyboard works but joystick not.

Any hints on how to debug this issue?

You need to set the option to disable automatic reboot on connection loss. The Linux HID driver doesn't automatically poll the joystick input (it only does so when an application is running that's reading the joystick), so the firmware takes this to mean that the host is no longer connected, and initiates a reboot on the device side to try to re-establish the connection. If you disable the "reboot on lost connection" option in the config tool, it will prevent the automatic reboot. The KL25Z will still think it's disconnected, so you might see the LED flashes complaining about that, but it'll keep running anyway.
