Hi there.
While trying to flash my LimeSDR-USB after update Lime Suite, process failed, and now the device appears to USB bus as Cypress (FPGA?). Neither LimeUtil nor LimeSuiteGUI recognizes the device so cannot reflash firmware or gateware.
I’m not shy to solder and have access to a JTAG programmer, but if anyone can provide some guidance I’ll be most grateful.
O.S. is Ubuntu 16.04. Logs follows.
