Beginner problem in tutorial B1

If you have a logic analyzer or oscilloscope, check HS2 for the clock (available on the unpopulated 10-pin header next to the 20-pin connector).

Other things to check:

  • are you sure your USB cable is good?
  • reduce baud rate as explained in this post
  • is your VM USB controller set to USB 3.0?
  • can you try running natively, instead of VM?

Also I’m assuming that Setup_Generic.ipynb is running cleanly without any errors?
