How do you connect Arduino Nano 33 BLE sense rev2

Help
#1

Hello sorry that I don’t really know much about how to do this stuff but I need to know once you open the flash.mac command and it opens the terminal i’ve already opened the bootloader and it doesn’t install the edge imipulse firmware not even after I put the edge impulse connect command in and edge impulse daemon. I’m also trying to do this with Porenta H7 can someone help me??

Thanks

#2

and also whenever I try to just go ahead because I noticed that it looks like it was already installed it says that theres no command that exists edge-impulse-daemon

#3

which operating system? did you follow the steps in the link below? Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense - Edge Impulse Documentation if the edge-impulse command is not available from the CLI, you need to ensure that the installation was successful.

We look forward to trying to help!

I use mac but the problem is if I do try doing that the terminal command it never installs it just says process complete and then once I stop the bootloader and try and open terminal to see if it’s just already installed it but it says that the edge impulse daemon command doesn’t exist

Hello @zm476,

Can you try to use the WebUSB feature to connect your board? https://www.edgeimpulse.com/blog/collect-sensor-data-straight-from-your-web-browser

I’m suspecting that the board is properly flashed but you have issues with your CLI.
You can try removing the CLI and install it again. Feel free to share a screenshot of the installation logs too.

Best,

Louis

Thanks

Hello @zm476,

Your serial port is already open, can you quit the daemon and start again (or any other process that is reading your serial port).

Louis

#8

how do I quit the daemon

#9

and what other things might be accessing the serial port

#10

Hello @zm476,

You can hit CMD+c or ctrl+c on your terminal with the daemon process running.

Best,

Louis

#11

Arduino IDE Serial Console can be accessing your Serial Port too.

Here’s what it says now it’s still failing:

I don;t think that theres any mention of a serial port in this one so is there another problem??

#13

Can you share the logs when you try to flash the board?

Best,

Louis

#14

what do you mean by logs

#15

@louis is Nano 33 ble sense rev2 supported because if it isn’t maybe that’s the problem

#16

although that can’t be the case because my arduino portenta h7 also didn’t work and returned teh same error

#17

This page says Rev2 is not supported yet. The Portenta is supported.

Assuming your serial port is manifested as a USB port, then start unplugging USB cords, retrying WebUSB, repeat until the port frees up.

I tried and it says the same thing do you know why @louis or @MMarcial

  • If the Serial Port is in use and you can’t figure out what is using it can you try on another physical machine.

  • Perhaps create a bootable version of Ubuntu and run under that OS.

Is there something I can use to find the serial port that’s being used
