When I update the firmware, I get an error and cannot connect to the port.Who can help me?
I’ve also finally had some time to pull out my Chip Wisher Lite and start looking at doing the tutorials available via the notebooks.
As I was going through the tutorials I hit the problem of not being able to update the firmware.
dmesg output:

When I disconnect and re-connect the device it dosen’t come back up as a serial device i.e. /dev/ttyACM0.
I’ve also tried to erase before the upload but the same issue.

Please wait until the ChipWhisperer shows up as a serial port. Once it has, call
the program(COMPORT, FWPATH) to program the ChipWhisperer

Hopefully the following output helps, please let me know if there is anything else I can post to help debug.
Hi,
It looks like there’s some USB issues preventing the scope from actually connecting. We recently added a new USB command and I’m guessing my code to avoid that command on older firmware isn’t completely working.
As a quick fix, you should be able to short the erase pins on the Lite, after which you can proceed with step 4 in the firmware update instructions.
@biyuanqiao you should be able to follow the same steps to update your firmware as well.

My problem is the same as yours
Thanks for your help that worked great.
I just shorted erase jumper (JP2) on the cwlite with a jumper, powered on. Removed the jumper and it came up as /dev/ttyACM0 and I was able to program the cwlite as per the doco.
Then rebooting the cwlite it came back and now I’m going through the jupyter notebooks!
