I recently bought a BOUNDMOTOR ESC. My understanding is it is the same ESC that esk8supply sells. While I didn’t have the recommended VESC TOOL for set up (1.29) I tried upgrading the firmware with 1.28. While in the process of doing the upgrade the ESC’s auto shut off feature shut the ESC off during the moment when the VESC TOOL tells you to keep your ESC powered on for 10 seconds while the firmware is installing. Well, needless to say the side of the ESC that was upgrading is now unresponsive. No lights come on at all when powered on and it will not connect via USB. Unfortunately this ESC does not have any SWD ports to reflash from the other ESC. Does anybody have any recommendations to try and fix this or am I SOL?

Iirc this is what an ST LINK is for, reflashimg the firmware directly. But it can be possible to refresh via can bus i.e through the working side, i dont think you are SOL bit I dont know enough to tell you a specific solution

uhm weren’t we talking about this in the other thread… boundmotors posted a diagram where the swd pinout is for flashing
Here is the diagram. I guess I need a little more direction looking at the diagram. The area labeled REMOTE SWD is where I would make the connections for reflashing the dead side? I apologize this is all pretty new to me.
yes the pin marked SWD is SWDIO on the stlink and SWC is SWCLK, get an stlink and we’ll go from there
