Troubleshooting

If you have troubles getting your Trinket M0 board to receive code, try this:

  • Press the “RESET” button on the board two times to get the Trinket M0 board ready to receive code.
  • The Trinket M0 board will appear to your computer like a USB drive.

  • Now try running the tinygo flash command as above:

    tinygo flash -target=Trinket-m0 [PATH TO YOUR PROGRAM]

Once you have updated your Trinket M0 board the first time, after that you should be able to flash it entirely from the command line.
