How can I erase all the external flash or better?

Troubleshooting and Support

Hi,
I seem to have bricked my daisy seed. :frowning:
Using the web programmer I can program the blink example and also the bootloader.
After I have flashed the bootloader it no longer goes directly to the slow blinking mode, but does this after a few seconds. If I then press the button, I get the fast blinking and then the mode which seems to go into the long bootloader mode. If I then upload a program (Plugdate BIG), it does not work.

How can I erase all the external Flash?

… after some trials I must say, that the QSPI Flash is gone. My attempts to write and read it did not succeed. The failure happened, when I cycled the power supply, while Daisy was running. Some spike must have killed the flash. I don’t know about the other peripherals.
:face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I had to switch over to a second Daisy.

Indeed, if you see a failure like this where the DFU protocol fails to erase or write to flash, that generally indicates a hardware failure of some sort. It seems a little strange that a mere power cycle would knock it out, though.
