So I ran into a rather curious issue today trying to update the code on a couple moteinos I have. Of the 6 I needed to update, I had two I was unable to flash code to, but they run the existing code in memory just fine. When attempting to flash, I get an out of sync error with the resp usually being some random hex code. But all 10 attempts have the same hex code. Does anyone have any ideas on what has happened to my motes and if there is any way to flash new code to them, or are they basically bricked with the current code?
Also, I have two more motes that Im not sure if theyre dead or not. Attempting to flash them gets the out of sync error as well with a non zero response, but I have no idea what code is on them at this point. Is there an easy way to tell if a chip is just outright dead?
