Nitrokey Start bricked after failed FW update

Nitrokeys

Hi!

I recently received Nitrokey start and before first use I tried to update FW via nitropy on Linux. However, that attempt failed due to missing udev rules. I installed & reload them and also unplug and plug in dongle again. However, after that, Linux can’t detect dongle anymore. It’s nothing in lsusb & dmesg output, nitropy doesn’t list it and even LED is not lit when dongle is plugged in. Another Windows machine also doesn’t detect it at all. Unfortunately, I rebooted PC so I don’t have original update log anymore

Did I brick it for good or is there any way to reset it?

Thanks

Yes it is an old thread, but I stumbled across this while searching for the same problem.

Probably it can only be flashed by opening up the device, access the debug ports and flash it via ST-LINK / SWD. See My Post how I got mine running again
