@TheRef Super bummer man, I have a MS surface mini I use solely for vesc stuff. My macs don’t talk to Esk8 well.
Have you tried the ‘black magic’ SWD functionality a 6.0 vesc can manage?
If you have a trampa vesc, a flipsky 6.6 or any other 6+ hardware, this has saved me in a pinch.
St links have always been a black hole of wasted time for me, regardless of platform and drivers.
