Tried following the tips “(Re)Building the firmware for the DISCO-L475VG” thread, but had no luck.
Also when I drag the binary to the device it loads does its flashing, turns green, and then disappears from the file explorer window. Odd???

Any suggestions?

Hi @KELVIC3D, try:

pip install mbed-cli

Is this listed in the docs somewhere? If so, I’ll go and correct it!

Yes, this is normal. The board is not actually a USB drive, but it’s a clever trick that’s played to make flashing easier - so the file won’t persist. The disappearing / reappearing happens because we remount the board to ensure the new binary is loaded. So this actually works!
