TI Launchpad "Bricked"?

[wt200999]

Energia and the Gamepad Tool use the same backend, so if it works in Energia, it should work in the Gamepad Tool as well. I am surprised that it did not take right away. I will see if I can replicate this and follow up, but I am glad you were able to get it working!

Were you using a VM in Linux to run the Gamepad Tool? We have seen an issue if the VM doesn't know to assign the LaunchPad to the guest OS the update can fail. When you update the debugger chip, the USB drops and reconnects, so if the VM doesn't grab it, the device doesn't finish updating.
