Apple's MFI - ATS box did not respond to initialization requests - mfi

Could you guys help me?
I acquired an ATS box + Beagle USB 480 + USB Breakout Board of Avinet, to test some MFI developments.
It worked without problems (off some conections problems at the very start of his use), two weeks long.
Today, we tried to run some tests here, but the ATS software crashed, trying to update ATS box firmware.
Since this problem happened, when we try to run the "Capture" function of the ATS sw, we receive this message:
The ATS Box did not respond to initialization requests
Is very strange because the ATS sw finds the ATS Box and the Beagle, who are attached to the Mac, but couldn`t initialize the ATS Box.
I supose that, when the ATS sw crashed, trying to update ATS box firmware, the firmware itself was damaged. The problem is that I don't know how to re-install the ATS box firmware.
Just to complete the scenario,I'm running the ATS sw at a MacBook Air, (Mac OS X 10.7.3).
Could someone please help me? How could I identify the problem, and solve it?

"No ST-LINK connected!" issue with Nucleo-F413ZH

I'm trying to flash a basic LED blinking program to my Nucleo F413ZH board using the STM32CubeIDE, but whenever I try to debug it says:-
"No ST-LINK connected! Please connect ST-LINK and restart the debug
session."
The board has the PWR and COM LEDs blinking, meaning the USB I've connected to the board is providing power, I just can't upload any code.
I've tried using the ST-LINK upgrade firmware (https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stsw-link007.html) to install new drivers as that's what some people online have suggested but the program won't respond once I've downloaded it, which seems to be a side issue of not registering connectivity.
I'm not sure whether this is an issue with drivers or if my hardware is busted. I'm using macOS Big Sur.
In Windows 10 this problem occurs as a result of an incorrect driver priority as pointed out in this post. Error in initializing ST-Link Device - Failed to connect to device perhaps this solution might point you in the right direction. I have set up several new M1 Mac Minis in the past few months for clients, Big Sur and the new M1 have several compatibility issues like slow network drive access and flashing screens, the Android M1 chip has dramatically less external connectivity which is why they went from 4 thunderbolt ports on the last intel Mac Mini to just 2. I would not be surprised if Big Sur is the core of the problem. Try a different computer if you have the opportunity.
I was also getting the same error on ubuntu system while using stm cube ide, with st-link v2 programmer.
blue led was continuously blinking.
but solved the error just by reconnecting the usb-extention-hub, now when connected blue led is on (no blink), and now i can program and debug the target.

Strange behaviour of STM32 EVAL board power supply

I've been using a STM32H753I-EVAL2 board for several months now.
Last week I was suddenly not able to connect to the board anymore (tried with several tools: GDB, STM32cubeProgrammer, always same message like "STLink error"). I of course checked the driver was correctly installed and was the right one, reinstalled it, changed USB cable and ports. Also tried to connect to a Nucleo which was fine.
I randomly tried to change the power supply of the board from PSU (ie. powering through external power supply) to STLink (powering through USB) and it solved the issue. I was happy as I thought it was just a hardware issue like a conflict between both power supplies.
But today the board was not connecting anymore again. So I switched back the alim to PSU and it worked !
Did someone experience the same issue ? Or does it trigger something for someone ?

Use Arduino Usb2Serial converter with Mac OS X El Capitan

I'm absolutely stuck here. I want to program a micro controller (Arduino Pro Mini and later native AtTiny85) from my mac using Arduino IDE 1.6.12. I need to use a usb to serial converter as the micro controllers in question do not have a usb interface. I purchased an Arduino usb2serial converter and attached it to my mac, but unfortunately the serial interface does not show up in the Arduino IDE :-(
From searching the web, it seems like the problem is that no serial driver can be loaded. So first I made sure, that the rootless configuration is put in a state, that necessary kext extensions can be loaded:
csrutil status
System Integrity Protection status: disabled.
Next I tried various hints rom the web saying I needed to install FTDI Support - so I got myself libusb, FTDIUSBSerialDriver and DFU-Programmer and installed everything - which worked flawlessly.
Nevertheless, my serial connection is not shown in the IDE and I can't pull any board information. Has anyone any idea???
I attach some links, so people may be able to follow my path of thinking:
Micro Controller: Arduino Pro Mini
USB2Serial Converter: USB2Serial converter at exp tech

BLE devices not detected by CSR8510 chip

I am experiencing lot of troubles detecting BLE devices with a CSR8510 chipset. I don't have much knowledge in bluetooth hardware/stack and osx systems. I made a lot of research to solve my problem but I can't find any information specifically related to my issue.
Here is all the informations about my setup :
The dongle is plugged in a Macbook Pro late 2011 (mavericks). I made all the necessary to make the dongle work :
HCI bootmode
com.apple.bluetooth.plist deletion and reboot
I used Bluetooth Explorer to change the Host Controller (default internal chipset -> CSR8510)
Now the dongle is fully recognized by the system, I can use my Magic Mouse (all functionalities work), but I am not able to detect my BLE chest belt (Runalizer blue).
When I launch a scan with the Device>Low Energy Devices panel in Bluetooth Explorer or the demo app indicated by the belt manufacturer I don't find anything.
Demo app : https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/HeartRateMonitor/Introduction/Intro.html
To be fully exhaustive my Xperia SP works perfectly with the belt.
I tried to dig into kernel extensions and I've found in System/Library/IOBluetoothFamily.kext/PlugIns two interesting kext :
CSRBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport.kextCSRHIDTransitionDriver
I do not know if it is relevant or if it could help me but since they start by "CSR" I thaught that it may be related.
I hope someone can help me. It is bothering me so much because I am not able to do the job I was willing to do (gather data from the belt and statistical processing).
Thanks for your attention.

Arduino not connecting to computer after working before

I bought my Arduino Uno R3 a few months ago. It's been working like a charm since then, but today, it stopped interfacing with my computer. Let me be more specific. I have a 2013 Macbook Pro Retina with OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). It has the latest Arduino IDE installed.
I was using it today and after uploading a simple sketch (it worked for a little while) my Mac stopped recognizing it, and since, I haven't been able to access it. The LED connected to Pin 13 stays on 100% of the time. The RX/TX LEDs don't flash, but the main functions of my sketch (other than the serial functions).
Have I screwed my Arduino's Serial chip? What can I do? I am only 15, so another $30 is a little bit too much to spend to get another one.... :)
Thanks!!
UPDATE: I forgot to mention that I have tried my other Windows computer, and another cable, just to rule out those possibilities.
That is a very common issue with Arduino. I used to face that problem all the time while using Arduino. Though I never really found a solution for this, the problem did go away after sometime. Did you try resetting the uC using the reset button on the board, or restarting the IDE or your system if neither worked?
Make sure you have chosen the right COM port. On a windows system you can do this by going to device manager and look for the ports tab under it.
