BLE Dongle bricked after format

Hi, I'm using mbed version nrf51-dongle. (developer.mbed.org/.../)

It made an error when count it to the OSX Yosemite, so I tried to fix this error. ...and I gave up.

So I turned on Window 7 and format MBED drive to reset. (right click over the drive icon, click format button.)

Then it totally bricked.

Now it doesn't respond both of Window and OSX. OS cannot find drive. Also, reset LED doesn't blink.

I think I have to compile SEGGER chip program by debug pin.(10pins next to SEGGER chip) but I don't know how to.

What can I do now... plz help.

Thanks.

  • I tried to reproduce the error by formatting the drive, but I was not able to since there is some protection on it to prevent it. Are you sure you successfully formatted the drive, and that it is the problem? In this thread it looks like formatting the drive is a solution on how to restore the MBED drive anyway.

    In windows 7, go to "Start -> Run" and type "diskmgmt.msc". Does the drive show up in the list? Make sure a drive letter is assigned to it. If you messed up the partition on the drive, you can use SDformatter to restore the drive to its original state as described in this thread
