Re: Cannot connect to Cypress Board

Is your laptop operating on battery power or plugged into the wall?

There are power saving settings that cut power supplied to the Cypress USB connection. They show up sometimes when the laptop is on battery power and fail to fully power the Cypress.
It's even worse when the Cypress is connected through a hub rather than directly to a PC.
