Unable to get to bootloader

[senthil1409]

Hello, I have a problem with the trinket I ordered. Unfortunately It does not enter the bootloader mode. This is the very first try with the trinket.

I reflashed the bootloader successfully, but still cant the trinket to enter bootloader mode.

I also see the following error in dmesg

[251499.233773] usb 2-5: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address

Does anyone had a similar experience? How did you fix it?

Thanks!

For any one interested, Turn off your computer and disconnect the power supply and wait for a few minutes and restart. This fixed my problem.

I know this sounds dumb, but has worked for others as well. No clue why!

That goes under the heading of 'voodoo'. It's more common than you might think in electronics.

Glad to hear you have the Trinket working though. Happy hacking!
