Duet Wifi never responds using SAM-BA

vreahli

Heya - running in to some issues here with duet wifi. Here's the steps I went through:

Noticed the wifi was no longer responding. I went over to pronterface.
Proterface didn't recognize the port. It failed to find the device. Also in the device manager, it says it failed to recognize the device.
I reset the firmware with the button on the board.
Downloaded, installed, and ran sam-ba 2.17 - it looks like it recognizes the device since the board at91cap9-dk_mem18 shows up, and it finds the connection on \USBserial\COM3.
After clicking connect, it never responds.
After giving it a few solid minutes to connect, unplugging the usb device gives me an error saying it can't connect. (So this is why I'm guessing it's hanging.)

Anything else I should check before pinging filastruder (the US distributor) for a replacement? (I really love this board. I think I'm just having bad luck.)

Edit: Tried a second USB cable to rule that out and a second computer. No dice. Also tried Sam-ba 3.2 as well.
Edit 2: Also - anything info I should grab off the board (like a serial?) After reading another similar thread it's looking like I'll have to return it. So I'm going to start preparing for that.

change the selected board to the at91sam4e8-ek it is a bit down the list but that should fix this issue. Please let me know if it does.

Thanks man! Firmware is updated and it matches. Apologies for glossing over that detail in the wiki. It's right there.
