What is it doing? Assume you have plugged it in to the PC? What does Device ?Manager say about it?

It might be in DFU mode, in which case you may need to use a DFU utility to reprogram it. https://wiki.analog.com/university/tool ... s/firmware scroll down about half way.

OK Jim

Is your Pluto a Rev C or Rev D Hardware?

Noel has a new Rev C and we will test to see if his works.
